lol....welcome to the club!

On reading more info for this shrimp....please see the pic to find male and female shrimps. Male have dots at the side of belly while female has long black lines. Very difficult to search when they dont stop moving.

I mite have all male in my tank!

P.s. male shrimp is on top of the female

Already told you beforehand, now you believe , throw them and replace with Palmata or malaya.

I could take out my NoiseBlocker fan from my radiator currently cooling my rig, but then again fan makes evaporation quite high - so it's quite troublesome to topup everyday, and especially more so when I travel often for work. That's why I'm looking into chiller instead, as I won't have to trouble any family member to topup the water everyday. An ATO is not so cheap, and it works better if it's with a sump instead of directly to the tank, IMHO.
OK, thanks much for the input bro. Glad to know it works with Hailea HS-28A albeit the low flow. Just hoping to *preferably* get to utilize the 2213 before upgrading. But then again, worse case scenario would be to sell it off and get a 2215 or something better.

Read that HS-28A is a replacement for HC-150a and runs quieter, so glad you can verify that it runs quietly too. Where did you get your HS-28A and estimated pricing for it? Haven't seen it in the LFS I went to..... usually it's the other HC models that's more common.

So basically with Eheim 2215 and HS-28A you have no issues with flowrate? Are you using the spray bar or lily pipe?

If only the Eheim pro3e types have a smaller version... that would be great!  biggrin.gif  drool.gif

HS-28A , you can get it slightly under RM1k if the shop is doing offer, market price is like below RM1.2k.
East aqua , 88 petsmart , NA ss19 should have, if not they can order for you.
Eheim 2215 perform well with HS-28A, flowrate is good, if 2215 not enough then up to eheim 2217 , just that 2217 Intake tube is 16mm/22mm (inside/outside diameter) Output tube is 12mm/16mm. Will look weird in your small tank , it look prefect in my 3ft.

Currently i'm using the spray bar with 2215 and i remove the spray bar end cap to further reduce the flow.
Lily pipe i have but not using cos it just may create hurricane in my shrimps tank.

Yes. The same. Just that wild caught not as hardy as farm breed. They may carry disease or parasite as well.

Actually this is my 2nd batch, didn't do much as much work as the first batch did. Palmata/Malay can eat algae?

Yesterday I was able to watch my Yamato pair. Male on top, female below. This happened in less than few minutes after I placed the female in my bigger tank. I didn't know it was a female until I went to check yesterday for the features distinguishing them. After I found out my main tank doesn't have any females at all, I caught the only female I have and placed it in the main tank. Immediately, the action happened. I think the horse saddle can be seen in 1 or 2 weeks time?
