Thanks for the comments, and yeah, not planning on getting discouraged, just going to wait till the filters mature a bit more and see what happens, although i may also look into getting some male RCS to mate with the remaining females...

Funny thing is this morning i discovered a 3rd shrimp, although it didn't make it after i did a small water change... so i'm guessing theres something in my water they don't agree with possibly?

^ Thanks for the comments, really appreciate the kind words..

Also, a quick update, it seems some of the baby shrimp have made it, as i saw the first signs of tiny movement in the tank today... so keeping my fingers crossed the fish don't pick them all off before getting big enough...

since you have so many plants, I doubt the filter not being mature is the main reason.

Yeah, i mean in all honesty, it could have been a lot of things from bad batch of shrimp, water from tap etc... so will just have to see what happens with the new fry whether they grow up or not...

Since its been close to a week since the shrimp and fish have gone in i thought it was time for an update... especially since the fish have finally started to start poking their heads out every once in a while...
