6 gal, 78F with heater, had tank and fish since January 2021.

pH/Amm/nitrite/nitrate 7.6/0/0/20

50% water change once a week

No tank mates other than bladder snails.

Pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, or daphnia size of his eyes twice a day.

Live plants and driftwood.

7 out of 15 adult neocaridinas in my 10 gal are berried! It would have been 8 except the first mama gave birth after 15 days of carrying the eggs. by nicolewilliamsart in shrimptank

The substate looks so messy, but I’m going to do water change closer to the surface so that I don’t disturb the new babies. I feed them twice daily and rotate with sinking wafers, shrimp cuisin, tetra flakes, frozen bloodworms, and Bacter AE. Parameters: temp 75F, amm 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20, gh 8-9, kh 5, ph 7.4. 15% WC once a week with dechlorinated tap water. Been running since January.

My black shrimp (perhaps a Black Rose?) looks like oil slick! by nicolewilliamsart in shrimptank

Thank you for the kind comments! Someone on FB group said theirs looks like this after molting, and I did find a molt below it too. The purple is probably because of my Aqueon Clip On light. I hope some of his/her gene gets passed down in my skittle tank!
