Sure enough, there's no sign of cyano anywhere in there. They just slurped it up. This is the link to the source of this original info:

Unfortunately, if you have fish in the tank, the Volcano shrimp will become expensive snacks much quicker than they will be able to perform their cyano biological control:sad: Looking again at your pics, it does look fish free.

If I come to the Victoria swap meet at the end of the month, I can pop into J&L and grab a few Volcano shrimp for you if you want and if they are still in stock.

Thanks for the offer, but I have a tang, a six line, and a pink tail trigger in there that would finish them off overnight!

I've learned not to stress over the small things.. I just stir it up every other day or so.. :redface:
