Gettings some Rili’s today, cant wait! Will update with pics probably tomorrow when they’re settled as I might just leave lights off today

[fr499y]

what you gone for? Red rili? Blue rili?

[DazF90]

Went for red as I think it will go nicer with my dark substrate

[fr499y]

I've had some awesome red/blue rili hybrids before. Red head/tail with a light blue middle. Have you thought about adding some snowballs in with the rili's?

They sound interesting! I haven’t actually, plan was to let the Rili’s breed on their own for a while then add some tangerine tigers, but you never know

Getting ready for their new home
They sent 11 instead of 10, but unfortunately looks like the extra didn’t make the journey

[fr499y]

They can do a bit still just before they molt, although doesn't look that way in the pic. Slowly drip them and remove some of the bowl water every 5-10 minutes till most has been replaced with tank water

[DazF90]

Yeah I think it didn’t make it unfortunately
I am doing so, keeping an eye on the tds too

[DazF90]

Just turned lights back on after a few hours, so a few went straight into hiding, ones I can spot seem healthy and happy enough
Will give a small feed of Bacter AE tomorrow

Quick question peeps
Always had t5s before in freshwater tanks, had them on a timer for 10 hrs ish
With the leds, I currently have daylight from 1-10, with an hour sunrise/sunset, i have this on 80% green/red/white and 50% blue leds, my ‘moonlight’ is 0 white, 1% blue/green/red
My plants seem to love it, but will it be too stressful for the shrimpies?
