Hallo Deepin peat,
of course I did transfer my shrimps in the same way as you describe.
What about the oxygen – I have a tchech air lift (don’t know if thats the right word in english …) that brings a lot of air bubbles in the tank. and I have soft water movement even in front of the tank. Not to much for the shrimps, but a bit to give the water a little bit movement and transfers the oxygen…
The Paros were not in the tank during our absence, I´ve got them on the return on train to home …
Of course I took out the decomposited plants and made water change every second day .
But perhaps I´ve had a too small amount of shrimps – just 15 animals…
We have changed before we left most of the water and took out plants and decoration to find the last dragonfly larves, and we found two of them, and abaut 15 – 20 shrimps. Perhaps they are still all at the other side of the tank cleaning the foam mat?
I could only find out, if I would make stocktaking, but I don´t want to disturb my four Paros …
