Oh sorry, did not see that part, no they probably won’t,they only filter feed @JS Fish. Edited March 21 by Whitecloud09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, I have been wondering if the AC light was worth the cash, maybe it is, it looks pretty bright! Cool badis @JS Fish!

Cool badis @JS Fish! @Whitecloud09 Thanks! The lights on 70 percent brightness currently. I havent tried other brand lights, but the co op one has been great for me so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older the tank is the more likely the shrimp do better. Shrimp also need good minerals to keep their shells from deteriorating. Also when they shed they need enough to grow new shells stronger. If they all die off I'd probably wait for a few more months and try again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advise, I'll probably try the shrimp again once I get more plants for my tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS Fish Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 (edited) I just moved my sparkling gourami from my 2.5 gal to this 20 gal tank! He seems to enjoy the extra room. He had been doing well in the 2.5 gal but I started to notice my mexican dwarf crayfish was acting aggressive towards my gourami. I had been keeping an eye on it and recently noticed my sparkling gourami's fins were getting shredded. It was this that made me move him to my 20 gal. Since moving to the 20 gal, his fins have made a 100% recovery and he is significantly more active! Currently he seems to be enjoying the 20 gal and its inhabitants. He hasent messed with or been messed with by the shrimp, oto, or rasboras. The only potential problem I've seen was he likes to sometimes follow my scarlet badis. Nothing aggressive so far but my scarlet badis dosent seem to like it much. After a couple days it's gotten better and I think there shouldn't be any future problems. Also, if anyone has name ideas for my sparkling gourami or scarlet badis, please let me know! I hope you are having a joyful day and thanks you for reading.

JS Fish Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Update! I know it's been a while since I updated on this tank but I have some great news and some bad news. For one, my micro sword has finally finished adjusting to my tank and has been spreading out and growing! Secondly, at least two cherry shrimp are still alive with one successfully giving birth to live baby shrimp! I have confirmed at least two baby shrimp but havent been able to find the parents. Sadly, one of the rasboras which has been looking very skinny and has had a hunched back for a while recently passed away. The scarlet badis, other two rasboras, and otocinclus have all been doing well though! Thank you for reading and I hope you, your family, your freinds, and your pets are having a wonderful day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
