Caught a spirit on film 👻🦐

This is my ghost shrimp, Concrete Proof of the Supernatural! He decided to stop being antisocial and pose for the camera today.

This is my new boy Merlin; he's very pretty and also very unsure about how to feel regarding his new shrimp roommates.

#hes got a slight metallic sheen on hia scales so it looks like he changes colors depending on how the light hits him!#it looks a little like magic hence the name lol #but so far hes been an absolute sweetheart with his tankmates #even if he has been giving them all a really hard side eye #freshwater shrimp #freshwater aquarium #betta fish #bettablr #iris aquatic

Video of my ghost shrimp Concrete Proof of the Supernatural (Concrete for short) gripping and grabbing around for his dinner:

Day 4 of cycling my new freshwater tank... ladies and gentlemen we finally have 0ppm of measurable ammonia levels!!!!

The nitrite levels are still high, so I still probably have quite a while before those drop as well. Obviously after that, I need to test that it can cycle in 24 hours before adding any animals, but I'm still so excited!!! Progress!!!

I started the tank with some liquid bacteria from the store, and some shrimp wafers that I allowed to decompose. Hopefully this will be enough of a jumpstart that it only takes a few weeks to cycle instead of a few days.

#my freshwater aquarium journey continues #learning about tank cycling has been super interesting!! and measuring all the tank parameters every day makes me feel like a cool chemist #iris aquatic

I just got a new aquarium, and I'm so excited!!!

It's a 14-gallon freshwater live planted tank. I just set it up yesterday, so I've got a while before it finishes cycling.

I'm planning on adding cherry shrimp, possibly a few ghost shrimp, a snail, a small school of neon tetras, and a betta fish.

I thought it would be fun to document the progress here! (If anyone wants to avoid the inevitable onslaught of posts I make about water changes/bacteria/etc. feel free to block the tag #iris aquatic)
