Si Fu,

Any reason why I always see junior/small shrimps wandering around but the adult/big shrimps mostly hiding away?

Hi arrow... Got this fluval shrimp mineral supplement....how to use and whts the benefit? As i mentioned my tap water is almost pure (less chemical treatment i.e chlorine etc) source is frm river. Never usee antichlorine to any fiah tank. Not sure if its hard or soft water.

Went to visit Taipei's "aquarium street" a while back so just share some photos for ya all.

I JELI!!!!
damn so nice...

Niceeeeee......dunno what happend in KL especially cant find good shrimps...used to see them so many before when i wasnt interested.

Another question...since only knew this recently cant mix dwaft shrimp with yamato...but can i mix cherry with malaya shrimps?

just follow the dose on the bottle, it provide mineral and increase gh for the shrimps.
You mention your tank water is from river, this the reason why you have damselfly, those river water may have the damselfly eggs.[
Malaya is safe to mix with any shrimps.

actually it is only the water is evaporated, all the mineral, waste etc still remain in the tank. That why water change is important and only
proven way to remove waste.

Oh dear! Should i store rain water?
btw saw the damselfly in the tank at MV and showed to them..They were didnt know what it was.

Actually i'm a little underwhelmed by that place but got a lot of variety lah. Went there to find mosura, benibachi stuff but tarak

ddahhhhh.. jiZZZzz in my pants!

Sigh...another dead shrimp this morning.

Last week's weather was off the charts.. up to 39C in my office area. Had the fan blowing full blast over the weekends and even so, water temp just now (after aircon on for a couple hours) is 31C.

Any DIY chiller ideas?

Ice packs?

Need something that can tahan over the weekends when the centralized aircon is off.

when temp high, try increase aeration(use air pump) to provide more o2 to the shrimps, fire red is quite hardy, i have keeping some without fan at 32'c.

Thanks sifu... just bought pump, valve, checkvalve, hose, airstone.

Hmm, how about electrical fish tank chillers?

Or visit your friendly neighbourhood aquarium shop and ask for suggestions from the lou pan.

How big is your tank?

A fraction of the size of an electric chiller

It's just a pico tank... 10 liters.

Haha, I didn't mean the big industrial chillers. They have these mini aquarium chillers on ebay, see links:

* Donno whether I can post url links? Mod, pls don't ban me.


Or cheapest fastest solution, carry your tank home till summer is over . Sad to know your shrimps are dying coz of the heat.

Maybe the blue cool pack and store all in the insulated box?? I wonder too how they servived?
