Been setting up a planted freshwater tank, first freshwater aquarium I've done since like 2006! Getting the ntirogen cycle established took 3 weeks with the plants competing on the ammonia.
Started sparse with the plants, they've grown a ton, going to be clipping and replanting stems this weekend before adding fish.
Already a lot of hitchiker snails.
A few months ago I bought a dozen cherry shrimp for the aquarium. Over the following weeks their numbers slowly dwindled until, apparently, only one remained. I assumed the rest had been eaten by the platy or sucked into the filter.
We came back from holiday yesterday to find a shrimp population explosion. Every time I turn on the light, I spot more.
So, apparently, they were not dead. Merely plotting.

(don't worry I won't really set my money on fire like that)
