Did you ever get any fry that survived from the last two batches? Also, have you had a chance to add any neocaridinas to breed as a food source?

No success on any fry. Although I would like to raise a few I really don't have the time. Today noticed eggs again lol.
I added a small group of Ghost shrimp and a Nerite snail. I have a female Ghost shrimp carrying eggs. Tbh I believe the newly hatched shrimplets may be too large for the pipefish to eat. I was thinking about the neocaridina shrimp due to their color.

Just looked up the size of neocaridina shrimp size and I may get a small group when the weather gets a little warmer.

Would be cool if you could raise up a few fry but understand time is an issue. Ghost shrimp may breed but won’t release viable fry in freshwater…they need brackish water. Neocaridinas seem like a great idea!

Adding more aquatic plants. I know the pvc pipe look out of place but the pipefish enjoy them.

Update everything are going well. Just wanted to let anyone who adds a Nerite snail to their aquarium make sure there is no opening for them to escape.
