Hello

[plisboa]

Here it is!!!

[maxgl68]

Congratulations for the video! Very nice!

[plisboa]

Thanks! New version available!
Removed the Coldplay audio because of copyrights issues. :-)
Just coulnd't figure why it has 9:13min when I've uploaded an 4:36min video... :-(

[BrunoAlves]

Great project,

Congratulations!

[plisboa]

Thanks... this project has seen better days...
A few dennerli have died at a rate of one per day but that seems to have stopped. For now there are no preagnent dennerlis...
I believe I now have arround 15 of them.
The blue bee are reproducing well but the shrimplets have a very low survival rate.
Globally, the tank is far from being overpopulated.

Got to wait and hope for the best...

[BrunoAlves]

It's sad to know that some died.

But if you think about it, those are probably the wild ones (the ones you've bought).

The ones that born there will breed a lot better.

[plisboa]

That could make sense if the ones I've bought were wild caught... but I don't believe they were.
They came from an group order from a french seller. So I believe they were captive breed.

Anyway, let's hope your right!!! :-)

Btw, last evening I've decided to follow your 'footsteps' and added some schist to my layout.
Removed all the round shapped black stones and replaced them with schist...

[BrunoAlves]

The schist is just a way for them to have hiding places.

I'm my new aquarium i didn't used schist and the new colony seems healthy.

I wouldn't make many changes, wait for those shrimplets to grow and breed.
