I'm officially launching war with the seed shrimps in my tank. really getting too many already. now manually filtering the "bugs" out and they don't seem to be getting lesser, the next day, a lot back. lol.

siphon the bugs that I can see into a container.. then pour the water though the white filter gauze. luckily the gauze actually manage to trap these bugs. then pour it back into the tank. Very time consuming but managed to reduce quite a lot..till the next day when they reproduce again.. and the cycle continues

then how? the only way is to restart the tank?

Yea they are pretty effective, all the alage near my substrate cleared by them, even now I don't have to scrub my tank walls for a few weeks already still clear thanks to them i guess, clean. But too many of these seed shrimps really look ugly

lol..

argh. these seed shrimps breed like crazy. if only my fire reds breed like them.

what color does the baby fire red have actually? I have one baby shrimp about 5mm long, looks gray in colour to me

very hard to get a photo of it. shall let it grow bigger first then try again haha

just came back from holidays and noticed that my pregnant shrimp is dead.. should i remove it? the eggs are still there though

eww

got some malaya shrimps over few days ago

lol what colour was it previously?

good idea

adding 2 fans would increase the evaporation rate which in turns increase the heat transfer = cooler temp. However I'm not sure whether there is a ceiling for the max temp drop even with the increase of fans. Btw, humidity affects the evaporation rate too

alot of $$

he went speechless
