Care and maintenance

For content
Blue Dream shrimp will not need a large aquarium. Small flock (10 pieces)
will feel great even in containers of 10 liters or more, so its niche
as inhabitants of nano-aquariums they have occupied firmly. Given the increased
jumping ability in case of fright, it is advisable to cover the aquarium with a lid or coverslip
glass. It is also better to close large technological holes.

A layer of neutral soil is laid at the bottom of the aquarium: you can use small pebbles or sand. Blue Dream shrimps prefer dense thickets of plants, so the recommended thickness of the soil layer is at least 4 cm. It is best to use natural decorations in the design - driftwood, stones, live plants. Among the latter, a variety of mosses (Javanese, Christmas, etc.), ferns, pistia, hornwort, and cladophora are perfect.

Dreams love clean water, so installing a filter is a must
condition. It is desirable that the filter does not create a strong current. Good
small internal filters (e.g. Tetra
IN Plus)
or special airlift (Tetra Brillant Filter),
but they will need to additionally purchase a compressor.

Shrimp Blue
Dream - hardy crustaceans, but sensitive to high ammonia
and nitrates. Therefore, it is recommended to plant them in the aquarium only after
establishing a biological balance. Replace up to 20% weekly
on the volume of the aquarium.

Not recommended
keep Blue Dream shrimp in very soft water. Low mineral content
will make the shell less durable.

Important! Shrimps
do not tolerate copper compounds, so you need to be careful when
using certain medications

General rules for growing

Caring for this plant is not particularly difficult. Experts advise starting experiments with locally adapted nursery seedlings. However, even a minimal horticultural experience allows you to decide on an independent cultivation of this culture. It can be propagated both by seeds and cuttings. The cutting method is much more effective.

Cuttings are planted outdoors in the spring months. Only under this condition will their roots be finally formed and strengthened before the beginning of winter. To prepare planting material, plant tops are used. They must be cut off, leaving a small part of the old bark. An unnecessary amount of this bark is simply cut off.

When the cuttings are ready, they must be treated with growth stimulants and immediately transplanted into moist soil. A suitable substrate is made up of an equal amount of sand and peat. Cuttings should be planted at a slight angle. The used container is immediately rearranged where it is warm and light. The plantings are systematically sprayed from a spray bottle.

It usually takes 8 to 12 weeks to wait for the roots to appear. Then the bushes will develop rapidly. Transplanting to the place reserved for the bush must be done with an earthen clod in order to improve the development of the plant.

In the first year of development, young seedlings should be properly protected from excessively bright sun. The landing pit is prepared in advance. It should be twice the size of the earthen lump along with the roots. The landing site must be drained, and a nutrient mixture for conifers should be laid there. If the soil is overly acidic, add some lime.

The junipers themselves are planted so that the root collar is at the level of the soil. Mulch from chips or pine bark is placed around the planting site.If you do not mulch the plantings, it will become more difficult to care for them, and the plants will lose their neat appearance. Humidity is not too critical, but it is still better to water the juniper systematically. Plants of the first year of development are watered as often as possible in order to speed up the laying of the root system.

Normally, by the age of 10, blue junipers grow up to 2.5-3 m. It is necessary to protect these plants from such a dangerous ailment as rust. As soon as its first manifestations are noticed, diseased branches are removed, and the plants themselves are sprayed with synthetic preparations. Insecticides help fight aphids and miner moths.

Features of phlox

Phloxes, even of the same species, can differ greatly from each other, and this is influenced by the peculiarities of the climate in which the flower grows. So, for example, those plants that grow at an altitude of 4 thousand meters are bryophyte and have a rather low growth, only 5-25 centimeters. Their branching stems cover evergreen leaf blades. If the plant grows in favorable climatic conditions, then it has an erect bush, which can reach a height of 30-180 centimeters. There are also semi-shrubs. These plants also differ in flowering time. So, there are early (spring), middle (summer), as well as late (summer-autumn). Most often there are erect varieties and species. Sessile, entire, oppositely located leaves can be elongated-ovoid or lanceolate-oval. The diameter of the flowers varies from 2.5 to 4 centimeters. They have a tubular-funnel shape and are part of a complex inflorescence. So, in one inflorescence there can be up to 90 flowers. The flower consists of 5 stamens, 5 slightly bent petals, and 1 pistil. Most phlox species are perennials. However, Drummond's phlox (Phlox drummondii) and its various forms and varieties are considered annuals.

Feeding the blue neon

Strong
the health and longevity of blue neons largely depends on the correct
nutrition. It is better to exclude live and frozen food from their diet, which are not
provide fish with a balanced diet, and in many cases are
potential sources of infection in the aquarium. But high-quality dry
food, on the other hand, will be most suitable. They prefer to eat neons in
the upper and middle layers of the aquarium, it is also necessary to take into account the small size
their mouths.

Tetra Micro Crisps is a crisp food for small ornamental fish. The balanced formula combines plant and animal ingredients. Red chips contain carotenoids to enhance color, while green chips support health and vitality. Small chips soften quickly, making them easy for the fish to eat.

LEGO. Jurassic World: The Legend of Nublar Island

In LEGO. Jurassic World: Secret Exhibit, 23 May 2012, Owen Grady transports several dinosaurs from Sorna Island to Nublar Island in Jurassic World. Among the cargo are four velociraptor eggs.When Owen reaches the dinosaur dump site, he is about to collect his check, but watches the Velociraptor eggs hatched from the island, then meets Vic Hoskins, who was hoping to see these eggs. Vic, obsessed with animal control, tries to command the raptors, but they attack him. Owen helps workers carry animals onto trucks.

Vic transports the raptors to their new pen, calls three of them Delta, Charlie and Echo and tries to train them, but nothing comes of it, the animals only scare him. Hoskins flees in a panic from the corral and locks it up. The Raptors come up with an escape plan by ejecting an unnamed raptor outward with a palm tree.

The unnamed raptor appears in time in the valley of the gyrospheres, next to the cliff leading to the Tyrannosaurus and with the help of the creeper rescues Grady, who fell down. Owen was surprised at the raptor's amazing intelligence, and he rushed to fondle him, but this was seen by Owen's dog, Red, who came running and scared the raptor away.

During the transportation of the rest of the animals from Sorna, an accident occurs near the corral with a Tyrannosaurus, whose inhabitant approaches the scene. Animals run out of the truck, and the fence of the pen is de-energized, releasing the Tyrannosaurus into the wild. An unnamed raptor arrives and, together with Red, protects people from the surprised T-Rex raptor's bravery, while Claire and Owen build a machine with a net that saves them from being chased by a Tyrannosaurus.

Claire and Owen find the escaped dinosaurs and send them just in time to the place of the Secret Exhibition, which they drove up to.

Grady delivers the unnamed raptor back to Hoskins' pen and gives him a name. Blue... Vic, seeing how the raptors obey Owen, offers him to work as their trainer, and Grady agrees.

In Mission Danger !, June 7, 2012, Owen makes his first attempts at training his velociraptors.

Substance type

Additive E 133 belongs to the group of triarylmethane dyes.

Get E133 from coal tar.

The complex chemical process of organic synthesis results in a blue-red sodium salt. Potassium, calcium salt and aluminum varnish are also allowed.

During digestion, blue lustrous FCF is absorbed into the body in insignificant amounts. More than 95% of the substance is released naturally.

Can stain waste products green. Do not be afraid. This is just the property of the E 133 additive to change color when it comes into contact with an acidic medium (for example, with bile).

Reproduction and breeding of Blue Dream shrimp

Blue dream shrimp photo

Gender differences in blue dream shrimp are not easy to spot. Females are usually larger and more energetic. They reach sexual maturity at about 3 months of age. At some point, you will notice that the female is carrying eggs under her belly. The development process from egg to young shrimp takes 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the temperature of the water. Young shrimps are quite independent.

When the blue dream shrimp adapt to the aquarium, the females will begin to produce up to 30 young shrimp every 5 to 6 weeks. In aquariums with dense vegetation and a lot of secluded places, young shrimp will grow quietly, side by side with fish. At first, the blue color is barely noticeable, but it will intensify as the shrimp grow older. A small percentage of the offspring may be weaker in color.

All of the above is a brief summary of information from various popular science literature and textbooks. We would like to share with visitors not only information, but also lively emotions that allow us to more fully and subtly penetrate the world of aquarium hobby. We are interested in every part of your experience, every second of your joy, every realization of a mistake, which makes it possible for your comrades to avoid the same mistake. The more we are, the more pure and transparent droplets of goodness in the life and life of our seven-billion-dollar society.
