Should I make more than one water change weekly or stay with one and fo more than 20%?
Just did another 20 % water change and will check Ammonia tomorrow again

I hardly ever do water changes on my 10gal. maybe once a month... and something like 10%.

Wheres the ammonia coming from is what I'd be trying to figure out.

How did you have this on day 4?
"Readings are
Ph 7.6
Ammonia 2 ppm
Nitrite 0-0.25ppm
Nitrate 0
Kh 4 drops
Gh 10 drops"

how are you cycling? im very confused here lol

I was doing a fishless cycle for about 6 weeks and then I added 4 zebra danios for about 2 weeks to help the cycle... Ammonia was 0 when I added the shrimp, which was 1 week ago

Just an update! All 6 shrimp are doing great and i found the first shrimplet a few days ago

Plants are growing awesome too

Everything is doing great with the shrimp, from the 6 I initially started with I have about 50-60 roaming around from hatchlings up to almost fully grown ones. So happy everything is doing so great

Looks great . For water changes, I used to do a 50% once a week on a 5.5 gallon shrimp tank, then realized that was too much. So I just tuned it down to a 30% water change every 2 weeks. They're doing better now and I've gotten two sets of babies from the shrimp since I've had the tank a month ago.

I have too many shrimp to count in there now and the plants are doing really well. Very proud of my first shrimp tank I set up myself and all with live plants.

That is what it looks like now after we moved 3 months ago
