Today we had some exciting action in the tank. Mr. C has used real pond water, adding other natural organisms to the tank environment. He added some fresh water shrimp, nymphs, and a snail.
Today two fresh water shrimp had sadly perished overnight. The cause is still unknown. However, Mr. C noticed some activity around the fallen friends. Other tank members were cleaning them up, some tadpoles were having quite a feast, then some shrimp joined in, lastly the snail gave them a hand, NOW THAT’S TEAMWORK.
We have noticed some benefits of having the shrimp in the tank, as they clean up any leftover food, this can be a major source of issues with cleanliness in a tank. The snail is also helping keep the tank clean.
