Tank update
Current tank condition after 4 months. Thick bushes (top)- Java Moss. The thick bushes has become a heaven for baby shrimps, they got nurtured there and find protection from the Tetras maybe. But most importantly, it has provided the food source and shelter to the babies.
How did I managed to keep up the plants? Pour Flourish Excel daily BUT make sure it is at a right dose. Not too much not too little. Just nice. For me, no measurement, it is my gut feeling cuss i ALMSOT killed my entire tank's living creature with overdose. So watch out!
Baby shrimps have grown up. Feasting on Algae tablet. My tank is more like breeding grown for red cherry shrimps now. From 22 to currently, maybe 100?! It is possible. Just many of them.
See them behind the tank.
More of the red cherry shrimps. Feasting on another algae tablet.

Baby shrimps in my tank!
Finally, like a sheperd or herdsmen, finally seeing your flocks of animals under your care finally give birth, the feeling is high and exciting!
If you do follow on my blog, about 1 month ago, i over-dosed the Flourish Excel in my tank, killed fishes and beneficial snails in my tank and caused slight algae bloom, and now it is full of new life, this has been encouraging for me as a newbie on aqua planting and fish keeping.
For the past few days, I finally see some baby shrimps appearing on java moss in my tank, i had let the moss to grow as much as it can and not trimming it. Now it is a heaven for the baby shrimps.
I do have 10 Neon Tetras, 2 Otocinclus and many adults red cherry shrimps in the tank, which might be attacking the baby shrimps, however as the moss provided a natural protection for the baby shrimps, they survive!
Am so happy to see them grow, so tiny, have to look at them carefully to find where they are. Once you found them, they are happily picking the algae from the moss.
Hope they will grow and mature in the couple weeks.
