    Stalking and hunched over the tank due to an infestation

    So for the past 3hrs I've been staring at my tank and poking back and forth with a net and a single chopstick trying to catch these things out one by one in a densely planted tank. Have to be sneaky since they've caught on after seeing the net.

    So far I got 7 big ole females carrying clusters of eggs and still have a ton of it's offspring peeking in and out.

      I'm guessing 'herding', I have found the same technique quite effective at isolating a certain shrimp

                  DOubt it, I seen a mass of tiny red specks running around, think they'll be haunting me for a while.

                  Wanna move them out so the CRS don't have to compete for food and possibly tossing the idea of getting some Sakura orange shrimp.

                    i will move the cherries to the 10 and leave the 3.5 for the CRS. once i get the hang of them. cherries will move out to let the gods have the bigger tank.

                      Bigger the tank the more stable and consistent water params would be, IMO the CRS would notice long before the RCS ever would.

                              It's a Zen thing. The sound of one hand clapping? What's the sound of one chopstick catching?
