highly pregnant amano shrimp... HELP

I still believe that using a tank that has been used as a medication tank is a bad idea.
a new 10 gallon tank is maybe 15 bucks. for all the time and effort your putting in 15 bucks would be a nice peace of mind thing to know your starting with a fresh un contaminated tank.


I do agree on drip acclimation. even something like a 1 gallon tank half full that you splash in some salty water every few mins would work then once they are close they could be transfered to your already set up 10 gallon tank.

x3 on a new tank for the shrimp.

Feed the discus raw garlic if you can- great for worms, and most discus seem to take it pretty readily (IDK if yours will or not at this point though...)

SW tankers use RO water in order to completely control and know for sure the base water chemistry since you have to add various components to stabilize the salinity and pH. Also eliminates all the nasties; nutrients, heavy metals, etc.
