Work

The weather is considerably cooler today, I have been waiting for this sub-30 degrees weather to start my dwarf shrimp aquarium, a small (30x30x30cm) tank I had setup in my bedroom about 2 weeks ago. Bought a batch of 20 cherry shrimps and acclimatized them before setting them free in the tank. They seem to […]
