sorry boss, dah nampak dah!

lol kena tembak hahaha

got sudden amonia spike in my shrimp tank...maybe leftover boiled cabbage...huhuhu

still monitoring them...got tiny red worm in my tank oso...donno where its came from...haih...

red worm in the soil or in the filter?

nematodes?

looks like bloodworms? i got a few of those before lol

in soil...can see the path it create...hoho..wiggling in the soil..red color..very thin..3mm long only..

if no shrimps bring in some fish to feed on them, I got earthworm in my soil, it come with the mini fissiden

Added on June 21, 2012, 11:47 amammonia spike , normally due to overfeed , bacteria dying/inadequate , disturbed soil , and if using
ADA soil it is famous for ammonia spike till it mature.

arrow, what is ur reading for ammonia level?i already done 30% WC, my reading still at 2ppm last night..but those cherry eat like there's nothing happen..

my ADA soiled tank all matured no more ammonia spike , other tank zero ammonia except the 3ft still cycling,
cherry is very very hardy, you try CRS, sure die. But if your PH is low, those are safe ammonia so should be ok, or
you can add in water conditioner like seachem prime which neutralize ammonia & nitrite. You will still detect
ammonia in water but those already be neutralized.
You done anything drastic to your tank like moving stone/decor/plant around? or introduce fish that dig the soil, or
some crazy otto's like mine which like to torpedo around in the tank hitting all things, i think it killed a coupled of my
shrimps this way.

Fyi, my still cycling 3ft using benibachi & contro soil combine, ammonia level is 0.25ppm.-0.50ppm , those test kit color hard to determine.
@@ 'mata pun pusing' looking at them.

I noticed that each time my shrimp molt, they will die..
whenever i see dead shrimp, there must be a discarded exoskeleton..
i have BW vigor but last time i used it, many shrimps dead..hehe
hurm how to overcome this?

What does molting mean for shrimp may I ask?

if i say 'salin kulit' u cn undrstand?

Ini paham

Any fish like SAE you keep with the shrimps?, my SAE attack/kill/eat a couple or more of my molted shrimps, now
those fella be banished to crayfish tank .
Did you overdose BW Vigor? never experience dead cos by using it so far.
What kind of foods you feed your shrimps, too much/only feed of high protein foods may lead to molting problem.
Btw do you know your water PH, KH & GH level ?

Lol maybe u shud just give me your SAE to be used as bait for fishing..
I dont have any fish with them..
Yup i overdose vigor n dance last time..almost half of them died..
JBL ph 8, API dgh21, SERA ammonia 0.25..still finding ways in lowering hardness..
I feed them with BW bebi, BW barley mostly because they dont like shirakura very much..

huhu...maybe the spike came from relocate my DW. only got moss and anubias only..

wow, you really want to be grandpa like fishmen,
Your GH is skyrocket high , and ppl said it prevent/reduce breeding in shrimps,
you shouldn't dose vigor + dance as dance is more potent version of vigor in liquid form,
it like taking 50mg Vi*gra and half hour later take 200mg more, sure bust.

JBL manado ? i do a Google search, review is bad, all claim increase GH sky high, prevent breeding etc
and it look like truth cos your statistics ( ph 8, API dgh21)
It is a new tank ? cos ammonia shouldn't be detected in cycled tank.
PH 8 ,from your tap water or the soil induce PH 8?
You can also try boiled organic spinach beside processed foods.

Your shrimps have molting problems cos of the high GH.
Vigor/Dance induce them to molt but the high GH make it really hard for them to do so,
Your shrimps surely die of exhaustion.

I think bcoz of the soil that affect ph..
I have other tank which have amazonia 2 soil which have a lot of susswusertang n a betta fish only..the ph is so damn low, ammonia nil but gh 20..it must be water from my area

Hmm...can't seem to find the berried female. If she has un-berried, I wouldn't be able to recognise her from the rest.
Anyway didn't spot any shrimplets lately. Do shrimplets tend to hide most of the time?
