not harmful but annoying and it is impossble to get rid of them unless you totally revamp your tank. but you can reduce their number by using
trap.
I did came across someone mention before that seed shrimps occur only when your tank water quality is good and matured.
I do have them in few of my tank, i just ignore them. Sometime squeeze a few of them dead for my shrimplets to feed on. smile.gif

Thanks!

Try feed your fire red with vege food everyday reduce meaty food to once a week. Fire red are vicious eater. If your tank have lot of them and lack of green food they will attack and eat shrimps that just molt. Beside their color look better if feed more vege. Esp spinach.

If only feed them jbl shrimp food?

JBL shrimp food are all round foods, meat & vege included.
As i get to know from a high level breeder/exporter. Too much Amino Acids in meat food will kill your shrimps,
he always maintain green vege. food or algae in his tank 24/7 esp. for fire red shrimps.
My 100++ fire red clear out 1 big around 10~12cm long , 5 ~ 7 cm width spinach leaf every night , and in the morning i dump in some dry spinach leaf to make sure they won't stay hungry , now my death rate for every week is almost zero , before that was 1 or 2 shrimps death every or alternate day. esp the freshly molted one, cos if they hungry they will attack the molted shrimps.
TDS i slowly increase to preferred 300-400++. I feed them meat based food once every week.

Boiled spinach, then frozen, then feed the next day?

hahahahah, they not getting used to green leaf , or you have lot of algae in the tank?
maybe can starve/stop feeding them for one to two days only put in the leaf.

Saw some organic baby spinach, bought some and let them try. Their are really vicious eater, this is the second leaf they feeding on, before that already clear out a big 12cm leaf. They like non stop eating machine. For tank with lot of fire red you have to keep constant food esp green food for fire red to prevent them of eating each other.

nice fissidens in your tank! btw, the brown leaf is the "big tree leaf"?

The safest way is to add in mineral stone. But will take time to build up. Fatest way is using gh up and Tds up products.

Hi,

For 1ft tank need how many mineral stones? if use mineral stones, do I need to dose CaNO3 and MgSO4 at the same time? thanks smile.gif

I use 7 mineral stone(size 6~8cm length for my 2ft tank. Yes you can dose that if you want instant result but do it gradually like 1 gh and 10~20 Tds raise per day.
Mosura have Tds up. They also got liquid mineral plus which both increase gh and Tds.
