Motis' new Planted

I did a water-change on the shrimp tank today. Then upped the lumen with China mall LEDs.
And found in the water-change bucket a little transparent alien with two black dots for eyes...

Then I checked in the tank and saw more black dot specks.
And in the water column, some transparent shiny eyed specks with a little bubble behind the eyes. So tiny it's near impossible to take a pic of the swimming specs, the dotted eyes are easier to catch

I think I have some white cloud minnow and shrimp-lets hatching, maybe just shrimplets, but one definitely looked like a swimmer and the others like crawlers

 

To minimise chances of them being nommed, I switched off the new lights so it's dimmer and less easy to spot the newlings

 

I seem to have some cloud minnow fry, and some shripmlets on the way.
I sadly lost three small shrimp to the mechanical filter, so I removed it now and replaced with a large seeded sobo style sponge filter. Once I removed the fish, the shrimps magically started un-hiding, they're so active now its awesome.

In the 60L I lost my one-eyed pirate-rummy nosed tetra (got it as one-eyed from Pet Stop's stock)
I guess he was lying on the soil near the end of days and an apple snail possibly started munching away his tail fin, then he spasm'd away into the water column with no tail, it was kinda horrible, but he's in Fish-Haven's Big Pond now -rip- At least he lived longish, despite his one-eyed state
