michanz; i was also faced some problem last time as i was wondering y suddenly my rcs didnt produce and population become lesser and lesser... all my green and bee also dissapeared...

at 1st i didnt realised coz plant bit thick... then when i trimmed only i could see rcs stuck at lily pipe intake and died, others having meal party... hahaha...

now i cover the intake pipe with netting....

never heard of school of thought saying u have to sacrifice fishes to do better cycle process

u can always cycle for bout 2-3weeks 1st then can test some fish to go in... not straight away put in during cycle time...

thats normal tank... quite ok with rm200...

i have managed to breed hundreds of rcs wit 1ft tank no problems coz they are very hardy... but with crs i doubt so coz water may not so stable for 1 ft tank and easy to fluctuate

during my 1ft tank, i have few hundreds rcs with bout 5 green tetras, 2 ottos & 1 sae... no problem with them and rcs keeps breeding non stop...

now my 1.5ft tank with bout 8 fish, 2 ottos, 2 sae, last nite still can see few shrimplets lepak2 eating...

i think smaller fish like tetra make no harm if having lots places for rcs & shrimplets to hide...

rcs is the easiest to breed... u dun have to do anything for them to breed

i would say just ensure water is clean and if using co2 make sure not to excessive that will kill shrimps... indication of lots of co2 shrimps will die 1st then only fish... i read also if more o2 will make them happy... so once a while i slow down co2 or make more water movement from outlet filter so that will have more o2... but this will invite bba as inconsistent of co2 supply but i dun care hehe...

once u have matured male female, they will breed non stop...

this is my last time population hehe...

very simple to identify male & female rcs


female
- rounded belly
- color more red
- saddle (triangle) behind head
- bigger then male

male
- straight belly
- smaller size
- color not so red


to know whether the female has matured and ready to breed, u will see the saddle behind the head... means its ready to mate...

anyone trimming spiky moss can donate to me pls...

if not mistaken HC needs low water temp...

wah michanz why didnt tell me u wanna trim... next time donate me some la...
