Assign each tank a clear label
Write a stable ID on the aquarium and use it in your feeding notes. Similar-looking colonies can still have different population sizes and routines.
Keep line names separate from tank IDs so project changes do not confuse historical records.
Log food and leftovers
Record product, approximate portion, and whether food remained. Note recent water changes or filter maintenance that might affect the observation.
Use the same units and descriptions across tanks. Do not rely on memory when several aquariums are maintained together.
Adjust tanks independently
A portion that works in one mature colony may be excessive in a smaller or newer aquarium. Use each tank’s evidence.
If moving food or equipment between tanks, avoid transferring contaminants or shrimp accidentally. Keep the routine controlled.
