Cycle a new tank for them, for the bowl, I fed shrimp too much which result in 1 casualty. I moved them to smaller containers, which are now they temporary home. Thai new tank will be cycle for 2-3 weeks or until I see some algae. Will add a lava rock from the left container for kick start.

the lamp/light behind slightly above the tank, are these metal or copper grill around it? I afraid later on it will rust due to the salt in brackish water, copper if leech out in large quantity is toxic to invertebrates like shrimp.
It don’t get into the water, but I removed it anyway for safety, thank you for told me that Image

My tank is covered in brown algae. Shrimps down to 3 I accidentally killed 1 and another one disappeared (or maybe just hiding). I renovated the tank yesterday to give them more hiding places. Others 3 are happy and healthy. Thx for asking!Image
