Neocaridina Shrimp
#shrimptank #aquariumdiary

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.

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.

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?

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.

Finally added some #neocaridina #shrimp to my new 5 gallon #aquarium. It's been cycling for six weeks, water parameters have looked good for a couple weeks, it's about time 🙂 🦐

The hardest part of this hobby as someone with #ADHD is waiting to add things to the tank.
