In this fish room update, weβre unboxing a very special arrival: 24-karat golden shrimp! Watch as we walk through the unboxing process, share tips for safe acclimation, and release these vibrant new additions into their new home. Beyond the shrimp, we take a "spin around the fish room" to check in on several key projects. From managing hair algae in the guppy tanks to observing the feeding frenzy in the 800-gallon African Cichlid aquarium, thereβs plenty to see.
