It's been a minute and we had 2 shrimps dying in the last couple weeks, so seeing the first birth in the #shrimptank got me so emotional 🥺 #shrimp #aquarium

And now get ready for a drop of little red #shrimps!
It's a bit hard to catch them and my phone struggle to focus. But look at how cute they are #aquarium #aquascape #shrimptank #plantedtank

The #shrimps have also been so hard at work. Cleaning a lot of the tank, and most notably the big wood piece.

Time for an #aquarium update! Today we did a big trimming, cutting about half of the plants and quite a bit of height. #shrimptank #plantedtank

After a few days, I can say that it was the first and probably last time that I'll see them all together 😅🦐

We finally got shrimps! It was a bit on impulse and we didn't get the colour we planned for (I urgently messaged any private seller around and took the first who answered) but they are red, they are cute and we love them! #shrimptank #aquarium

Today was aquarium trimming day. It had been a few weeks and the plants had grown a lot. We also took out the drowned floaters (decomposing leaves) which were not looking good. The tank is full of food cause we're still ghost feeding, but I like the way it looks otherwise! #aquarium #aquascape

Still no shrimp being added to the tank (we're going on holidays soon, so it'll wait for after) but the copepod population is thriving! #aquarium #aquascape #plantedtank #shrimptank

We also did some cutting and replanting of the rottala because its air leaves were shedding and leaving it very stringy. We also reshaped the moss and added a few lava rocks on the right (and behind, to keep the negative space between the rotalla and the green fluff).
Last week for reference.

It doesn't show much on camera but we did quite a bit of work this weekend. The big piece of wood is finally waterlogged so we cut it's tie to the rock and moved it quite a bit back.

After seeing the floaters drowning and struggling for a week and a half, we crated them a corral and look how good these little ones are starting to look now!
They're now part of my fav features of the #aquarium now.

Water test kit is finally here. Send @3lfig.bsky.social and me some luck on our first testing, and let's see how well cycling is going!

I think we finally have some creatures (detritus worms) in the water! From what I understood, it means the fishless cycle is ongoing!
