The split looks like it's on the top. Is that correct?

First thing I would check is if the stand is level. If you have wood or fiberboard, over time it can warp from moisture. Can you slide a piece of paper under the bottom of the tank in any spots?

That's awesome. When using eco substrate, do you have to wait before adding fish and inverts?

Ooh! @TeeJay I am excited! I have never had a shrimp tank before and am happy to keep up with your journey with this habitat! 🦐 Things are nice and coated with the "juice" particles, so that's great!

I may have overlooked it, but what type of substrate are you using? Did you collect it from nature?

These are the things I saw initially in the breeder box on hatch day. Are these mystery slugs? Snails without shells? Yep, they move… (Algae wafers were in there too)- 1,893 replies

That's a good idea! You have so many great tips. Thank you @Guppysnail, oh wise one! Might add sand to grow out tank? It would probably feel nice on their lil feet? I realize more cleaning though. Also, who wants to see something cute? Turn sound on & Click- 1,893 replies

That's what I was thinking too about food removal, @Guppysnail. And I also had a thought that since I'm siphoning things out with the irrigation syringe, maybe I can also siphon new food in with it. That way I have more control over quantity fed and I can keep track of it. What I added yesterday was half of an egg yolk, so I know it's definitely less than that. I also siphoned out a lot of the Snello. The Snello was the size of a square ice cube. @Guppysnail these guys ARE going to a grow out tank, but the sponge filter is not ready yet; it's been seeding since 6/1 in the main tank here. I want it to seed for one month. However, when it is ready, I am putting the sponge filter into the 10gal, and ALL OF THE 10 gallon water will be directly from the 29-gallon that same day. I have been giving some thought about testing the sponge filter prior to snail transfer. I want to stress the sponge filter. To do this, I will put a small chunk of raw fish or shrimp from the grocery store into the tank to let it rot. I would like to see if ammonia spikes and a cycle happens. After this process though, a complete drain out. Then 29-gallon water, then snails. I think doing this is better than having something bad happen with parameters once the snails are in that tank. @Guppysnail have you used a net breeder or a plastic breeder in the past with your snails?- 1,893 replies

How many of you forgot about clutch 2? 😉 I siphoned some food out of the breeder box. I way overfed. Some people say they clean the breeder box once a week, but I don’t feel comfortable leaving food in there that long. Wouldn’t it foul the water? Anyway, here’s all the garbage I siphoned out with the syringe. (2 snails went for a ride and were safely returned.) And here is the breeder box after. A snow globe hot mess. Look for the gang climbing the walls. They are a little darker than the egg. Mostly everyone is on the walls eating the egg dust.- 1,893 replies

I’m happy to report that the snails are eating the hard boiled egg yolk! Also as an added bonus, when I added it, it turned the breeder box into a “snow globe” and coated the walls. I have about 31 snails on the walls and 3 on the bottom, so wall coating food is good. It looks nasty but it benefits them. I definitely put too much but will try to measure better next time as I get to know them. 🙂- 1,893 replies

@xXInkedPhoenixXoh wow yeah, super swollen. Does she act territorial and chase others away?
-
@Odd Duck thanks for responding so quickly. Her territorialism does make a lot of sense if she is holding eggs. Let’s see if she can find some romance. Actually whenever I feed brine shrimp everybody likes to get busy. I should try that now that she has a school again. I should also note that it wasn’t my intention for her to be alone for a few months but there had been an ick situation that wiped out her school.
-
I saw something else that says it could resolve by adding males. I just added 4 of her species, so maybe this could work itself out.
-
There is something called gill disease which may be worth researching. It’s normally treated with Maracyn Two (different from Maracyn).

What can be done for egg binding? She eats like a hog too.
