Cool tanks!

Here's a pic of another one of my females. I can't really get a good pic of the babies...I have only seen one at a time, but the color has been different so I know there are at least two!:thumbsup:

had to change the light because my grow bulb burnt out my walmart desk lamp.

I have seen at least 4 shrimplets and I have 3 berried females now!

I also added a zebra nerite

IDK haven't checked. I know..... the horror!

I ordered a GH/KH test kit so maybe next week I can tell you.

No water changes only top offs and I use purigen in the HOB that really seems to help the water stay clean.

Your gh should is good, but I do think your kh is a smidge high. However, ive read that once they have acclimated to your water conditions, they will pretty much thrive. :icon_smil
KH was my concern after getting readings from both tanks. How do you lower KH?

Still going. I usually see six or seven TTs grazing and one or two BVs out. I have a couple of pieces of cholla wood covered with drift wood and moss and they hide there a lot. I see molts and have not seen any deaths. The older BV female had a ton of eggs but dropped them within a day. None of the TT's seem large enough to see saddles. In this tank the shrimp do not mob the food like in my 17 g. There is a lot of algae in this tank that they seem to prefer so I'm going to hold off on feeding a couple days and then feed less frequently.

I made a video of my other tank at feeding time check it out! the link is in my signature for the 17.4 Mr. Aqua
