Fed one algae pad to the large communal tank [#03] i spotted the egg carrying shrimp from a few posts back and she still has her 3 eggs. She also had a large chunk of algae pad in her claws

Here is a quick snap of tank #03 at lunch time and a quick one of my cube tanks.

I think it's a bit of an illusion watching it back my self, maybe it's the low light levels.. The photo above is a lot more accurate.

Dosed tank #03 with biodigest, tank temperature is sitting at about 21 - 22 deg C as we've had a bit of a hot last few days here in the UK. The temperature swing doesn't seem to of bothered the female carrying eggs in any way.

Amphipods in my large tank are getting really active at the moment and multiplying

What do you do with the Amphipods in your tank? Will the shrimp eat then?

They should co-inhabit together in the tank without bothering each other.

More little pets. Cool! Did you introduce them into the tank or did they hitch a ride with someone or thing else?

I fed tank #03 (large tank) tonight and a photo below while they are sat eating, the egg carrying female was in the bowl eating too... still carrying her 3 eggs. I also spotted 2 females in my other tank #02(banded/stripped shrimp only) which were looking pretty wide and have their swimmerets extended

Im guessing in the next few weeks they will carry some eggs! i'm excited and nervous at the same time because id love to see the new offspring introduced with clear bands too, who knows what will happen though.
