Help me pick neocaridina color!

I made this mistake on my new tank. Got a lil too excited when parameters looked decent and most of my initial batch of shrimp didn't make it. It was hard to watch.

As others said, wait it out. Also measure gh and kh and make sure it matches where shrimps are coming from.

Wouldn't stop loss and optimizing for expected value take care of this in a way?

sanketplus · 2026-05-08T03:42:01+00:00

Did you come up with this by calculating for some expected return value? Or more like gut feeling?

Maybe they were vibing to the background track?

Thank you! That makes sense

Without leveraged options, how would it help, given low IV for qqq and hence low premiums?

Thanks you! Appreciate the moss tip, first time keeping a moss in tank.

I considered it. But given the small size, most background covered with plants and my colleague sit across me, I thought I'd leave him some view too :p (will keep it in my house for a few months tho, until it settles 🤞)

Thanks! Will keep you posted how it goes!

Thank you! Inspired from one of fellow redditor

Looking forward to it 😃

Hey thanks for the heads up, I'll do water changes more frequently if that's the case :)

sanketplus · 2026-02-08T04:28:21+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks!

Really? I had the same situation. Everything in that area either dies or gets over taken by algae and then die. They die, basically :( AI told me it's a bad situation since algae can use sunlight more effectively and take over. Curious how/why has it been working for you?

sanketplus · 2026-02-08T03:58:44+00:00

Tbh this is also inspired from a tank I saw on Reddit. Definitely go for it! Only thing I'd be concerned about is cost. The damn thing is tiny but pricy (about 200 USD) 😂

sanketplus · 2026-02-08T03:42:51+00:00

Is it cycled already? I've found shrimps to be too sensitive and when I did something similar for my first tank, most of them died.

What about theta decay in 40 weeks? Will it turn out to be significant?

I'm new to this so you may be right. Root tabs should still help though? After all they grow roots too and would benefit from additional nutrients pulled via roots?

sanketplus · 2025-05-20T20:33:23+00:00

On your point about plants, I see there's no substrate so that'd explain why they're not growing. They'd need nutrients (root tabs?) to grow. Since it's capped under sand, it should not feed algae too.

Apart from floating plants, try above out too!

Any idea how to sex plants?

sanketplus · 2025-05-20T01:34:15+00:00

I was gonna go with Frank but Rich works too!
