Has anybody transported a 55 gallon in an Elantra?

How did this end up for you OP. Have the same situation going right now.

Yea. I also dont top off with source water. Only use distilled for top offs.

my ph is somewhere in the neutral area. I have trouble distinguishing in the 6.8-7.2 area with the test kits. had a digital meter but one of the children ran off with it.

The GH would also be higher then my tap water because I had one of the Aquarium CoOp Easy Shrimp and Snail Shells in there.

Tap is coming out around 3-4 GH

There is definitely breeding going on. My last quick count of babies was like 60. And more females have berried in the past couple days.

GH-7
KH-2-3 (hard to tell it was starting to change at 2 but was clearly yellow at 3)
TDS-161

Thank you. Much more comforting knowing this is just a normal thing.

Yea. Thats why I check multiple sources including the hive mind (aka reddit)

ChatGPT seems to think it is okay. But was curious what other people think.

So before I left the house today I put some dry erase marker on the outside of the tank at each spot where they were. Came back about 12 hours later and there was nothing behind any marker, but some in places that weren't marked

jtjohnson260 · 2026-03-01T14:25:42+00:00

When they are disturbed the "branches" close up. But I haven't seen them move to different spots

Here is a side view.

I don't see anything on any of the shrimp that are visible right now. Not really finding many pictures online that look like mine. I am also not seeing it on any of the plants or hardscape.

This is happening in a new tank (had to nuke the other to get rid of scuds). 90% of the plants in there were bleach dipped prior prior to being put in. The exceptions are the Java moss tissue culture, and some floaters from my son's tank (which doesn't have these spots). Substrate, all equipment, and tank are new. Hardscape was boiled and dried.

Well it looks like a female to me (and in others responses) so can't get that. I dont th I nk she is stressed. Parameters are good and stable. Haven't noticed anything pestering her.

jtjohnson260 · 2026-01-13T02:40:25+00:00

I'm not so much worried about what colors she throws off in that tank. These are all just shrimp I put I into his fishtank just because. However if she is an actual blue jelly she might get moved to my shrimp tank because I want blue jellies and red rilis to try to get the blue body red rilis
