if cheery survive very well can I add some low grade Cristal Shrimps?

bought another 30pc RCS... if still cannot i give up breeding shrimp liao...

A quick question here ... is changing the substrate (like on a yearly basis) a need or you don't actually change it after you started planting?

If it's ADA , not a necessity to change unless you have that constant bad habit of changing it

ADA could last for 5 years ... as they mentioned...

Drew

wow..."sai lang" liao...good luck

Cata, have you checked your water for copper? or dosed anything in particular to cause shrimp death?

Drew

Thanks for clearing out my doubt dear sir

usually where does the copper come from?

nope... didnt dose anything... but copper i not sure... possibly my house water tap rusted...

Copper is an enemy of all invertibrates.. If you have snails or other shrimps crawling in there, and they're alive, then it's not copper .

Copper can come from fish medication, anti snail medication etc etc etc.

Drew

snails are blooming in my shrimp tank... i'm worrying how to remove them...

my shrimps die one by one... not massive suicide....

if snails are present, scratch out copper.. Now I'm suspecting your filtration power and water quality.. also, how's your maintenance?

Drew

HOB filter... quite a large one... so filtration power i guess its ok... i'm guessing the bio filter (carbon) inside the HOB filter... is it true when after sometime, carbon will release *whatever it previously filtering* back into the water??....

did i heard someone talking bout crs???

red red not ngam???

diamond also got....

Pinchboys san releasing poison into this thread lol.

@cata, Carbon is NOT A BIO FILTRATION MEDIA.. and yes it is true it will release all the gunk it sucked out after a period of time...

BIO media are things like Bio rings, ADA BIo rio, etc etc. Carbon is chemical filtration

Drew

dun lansi..

but i want leh... can give me some??..

oh ok... chemical filtration... so should i remove all the used carbon and jz maintain the sponge inside for mechanical filtration??... i'm also using sponge at the intake pipe to prevent shrimplets being sucked in...

have some one in here has tried plant moss wall before ? im thinking about it.. but dunno whether suitable for my HOB filter or not...,,

i got moss in my shrimp tank... growing, but vr slowly...

yujin san...the cheapest of CRS can get is how much from u?
