Sulawesi Adventure Ended

After months of trying, I finally decided to end my Sulawesi shrimp adventure ... why? Well, my last batch of 4 surviving (with one berried) cardinal shrimps just decided to move on ... sigh. I was so looking forward to seeing cardinal babies but unfortunately things just went downhill a few weeks after the cardinal got berried. The shrimps started dropping mysteriously one-by-one until none was left.

When I finally decided to decommission the Sulawesi tank, much to my dismay, I found a LAVA ROCK hidden deep within some of the other rocks tied with moss. I guess that last lava rock may be the one still quietly leeching some poison to kill the remaining shrimps ... sigh. Well, after so much investment (both time and money), I am just going to chill for a while ... keeping hopes of possibly trying again in the future ... when both time and money permits.
