If there is waterfall -> break water surface -> oxygen dissolved -> no need for additional air pump. You only have 6 cherries

Wow bro actually it looks really overcrowded! Must be careful when you switch off the lights, that the plants don't suck all the oxygen out of the water! My shrimps died in one of my micro tank experiments because my roommate switched off the table light before sleeping and he didn't wake up till like 2pm, and my BABY blue shrimps died.

leave the exoskeleton there. the shrimps will eat it to give them extra calcium to make their new exoskeleton.

Wow, nice setup. I can feel how much excitment that you are having now. Wait till your shrimp have egg and give birth, that will be a more exciting moments.

Do continue with your tank updates here.

Thanks bros!

24hrs hve passd and they are all still alive and kicking. swim around changing spot, "cleaning" my nanas and mosses. some love to be underneath the frogbit leaves haha.

but im still not sure how much to actually feed them? algae pelllets are quite messy. for those who feed them algae pellets, how often do you feed them ? once or twice a week?
