  3. I created a fedigroup for general #aquarium stuff - @aquarium

    Mention it in a post to get it boosted so that all followers of @aquarium can see it.

    #nanotank #shrimptank #saltwater_aquariums are all welcome to use the group too. If there's enough traffic that that becomes a problem I'll create more fedigroups.

  9. I'm looking at setting up an auto-feeder for my #aquarium. I would like to find one that either has a native #HomeAssistant integration, or is at least easy to override it's native controller with an #esp32 brainworm I can run #esphome on.

  10. Last year when I was setting up my 5G tank I got this plant. I thought it had died, but it had propagated a baby behind one of the big rocks in the tank. I moved it to my new 16G so it'd be more visible.

    I think it's some sort of crypt because it doesn't have a rhizome and propagated via a long runner root, but I'd love to know _which_ crypt.

  14. I know that anything with aquarium on it costs more, but the aquarium tax for snowflake food is ridiculous. I've been keeping shrimp for less than a year, so maybe other shrimp keepers already know about this cheap alternative to snowflake food, but in case you didn't -

    After watching some YT shrimp keeper channels, I've been feeding my neocaridina colony snowflake food a couple of times a week. They like it and I was almost out, so I was looking at the bag and realized it only has one ingredient - soy hulls. I paid $12 for 3 1/2 ounces of snowflake food.

    I thought there must be a cheaper source, so I looked online and found soy hull pellets for mushroom cultivation were 10 pounds for $20. The pellets are exactly the same size as the ones in the snowflake food bag, and my colony eats them just as eagerly.

    Snowflake food: $3.70 an ounce.
    Bulk organic soybean husks: $0.13 an ounce. 28x cheaper.

  19. Managed to get a picture of two baby shrimp from the latest clutch in my 5 gallon tank. I'm pretty happy that I've already had two clutches since the tank has only been running for three months.

    The focus isn't as sharp as I'd like, I really need to get a macro lens for my phone. Any recommendations?

  24. So far my 5 gallon #shrimptank #aquarium only has a brand new #neocaridina colony, a #nerite and some inevitable bladder snails, livestock-wise.

    I want to add fish that are shrimp-friendly and small enough to be happy in a #nanotank. Thinking maybe Ember Tetras or Dwarf Rasboras. I think Neons would be too big, but would love advice from people with more experience.

    Whatever I add, I'm going to wait until after I see some shrimplets.

    I started a 5 gallon tank a month or so ago, and someone local generously gave me some trimmings from their tanks while cleaning, but I lost the piece of paper with the species listed (thanks #ADHD!) and would like some help figuring out what I've got.
