Fish Rambling #2: Key Lime Endlers & Blue Dream Shrimp

This is my 10 gallon, the blue dream shrimp have lived here for two years with periodic culls from my main colony added to this tank. The Key Lime Endlers have only been here a few months. Before it was Purple Mosaic Guppies, and before that it was mixed guppies. I eventually oversold this tank and blue dream mutants and the colony is recharging. More videos soon!

Were the shrimp singing? What do the other fish and snails sound like? At first it appeared the betta was talking.

The shrimp do sing to me.

ive got a weird funny problem with my shrimp, they eat fine, poop fine, molt and look brighter than when i got them, but they have not been procreating whatsoever. As if shrimp can be neutered. I think ill probably try giving them a different tank, maybe thatll change something
my guppies in the other tanks though… i wish theyd stop… theyre healthy but i dont want any more and ive nowhere to trade them in

Calcium. GH and KH. The latter can be heightened with “Shrimp Minerals” which is a product from “SaltyShrimp.” I find myself giving them seachem equilibrium sometimes too. Make sure GH and KH in the range for neocaridina (I use all in one test strips). When KH is high, PH doesn’t move. Crushed coral works too. I used to give them calcium blocks specialized for shrimp but I found out I can rely on calcium powder from Amazon that’s for human consumption. They like ammonia and nitrite at 0. It always seems calcium is the main variable between my tanks. You can also supplement calcium liquid style with what fish keepers usually use for a saltwater tank for their coral but the calcium supplement powder is just so cheap.
