Use an ID that survives renaming
Assign each aquarium a short stable code and place it where you can read it during maintenance. Keep the color-line name as a separate field.
If the project name changes, the tank ID still connects older notes with the current setup.
Label equipment and transfers
Mark dedicated nets or containers when possible. Record every shrimp movement and inspect tools for hidden juveniles.
A label reduces mistakes but cannot guarantee that no shrimp were transferred. Keep the workflow deliberate.
Review the system regularly
Check that the physical labels match your digital or paper log. Correct discrepancies with a dated note instead of silently rewriting history.
A simple labeling system is more reliable than relying on memory across several tanks.
Use these as general hobby references. Test your aquarium and confirm product guidance before making changes.
