Green water saved my fry
Everyone panics about green water. Meanwhile my ranchu fry in the pea soup tub are growing twice as fast as their siblings inside. Nature knows what it is doing.

Midnight frag drops every Friday. Glue included, obviously.

Heard wrapping sounds from the breeding bay this morning and there it is, a nest full of eggs. Updates as they hatch.
The mesh finally disappeared. It is just a living green carpet up the back glass now, and the cherry shrimp graze it like cattle. Worth every week of the ugly phase.
Serious answers only. My 40 breeder currently has room for what, forty more?
New shrimp keepers: that brown fuzz on your driftwood isn't dirt, it's a buffet. Stop scrubbing it off.
Going forward: drops every Friday 9pm sharp. Set your alarms, the good torches go in minutes.
