Icecream1212 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Long story short.. I have a freshwater planted tank that I just moved everything over to a 60g upgrade today. I didn’t move one decoration and a small patch of S.Repens because it had the most algae of the entire carpet. Ok so I checked the tank right before bed to ensure I didn’t miss anything and I see one larger clear shrimp which was a surprise because I only had 3 - one black, one yellow and one red.... so who was this? And then I start to notice babies. I counted 6 I could see and they were hard to see. I was told the 3 I had were Amanos but then was told they were not. Do you know what these are and what do I do?? Can I add to the new tank? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGlassBox Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'm assuming they're neos? Cherry shrimp? If you're going to keep cherry shrimp, you should only keep 1 color in a tank. If you keep more than 1 color, they'll interbreed and you will loose those original colors. Looks like a clear offspring, (with no color) that's all. You'll most likely get some brown ones as well.

TheGlassBox Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Yeah, pH 4.5 is really low. I'd try bringing up the KH+ a bit and see if that helps. Bringing up the GH a bit might help as well, as 4 is usually the lower limit. Salty shrimp makes a product that has both GH and KH in it and it's inexpensive...
