I'm new at breeding ghost shrimps. I was told to turn off my filter when the shrimp release their fry, and to do water changes daily until the fry are bigger. The reason, I was told, was because if I don't turn off the filter, the fry will be sucked to their doom. Is this correct? I really don't like how the water is looking, even with the water changes. I've been doing them religiously, but there is this film on the top of my water. It almost looks like... I don't know. Like how a little oil looks in water when the sun is shining on it. Should I be concerned? Am I overreacting?
The tank is 2.5 gallons with a Whisper Micro Filter.
Any and all suggestions are welcome, as I am a complete newbie.
Thank you.
