decided to create separate topic for neocaridina shrimp as its getting more and more famous among pet lovers locally
 come and discuss about diet/food, diseases, water parameter/management, tank setup, tools/accessories, or just show off your lovely shrimp here  my tank with fire red    tank parameters QUOTE PH : 6-7 =============================more to comeGH : 5-6 water temp : 28-29C substrate : ADA new amazonia + white river sand on the left |

The transport is stressful to them even if they are well packed in a styrofoam box and breathing bags. http://www.shrimpnow.com/content.php/256-A...ning-New-ShrimpSo why is drip acclimation such an important step after you purchase fish/shrimp? Generally speaking, one should always use the drip method to acclimate new invertebrates (and fish, for that matter). The drip method takes at least 1.5 hours, but best for 3 hours or longer depending on how much the original water parameters differ from your local (or tank) water parameters. Drip acclimating gives your fish or shrimp the time they need to adjust the balance of salts, minerals, and the like in their bodies with the salts and minerals present in the water in their new homes. If the salt content in their bodies is high (origin is hard water) and they are moving into soft water where TDS is low, just dumping the fish/shrimp in may cause them irreparable harm, stressing their bodies and making them susceptible to disease. Their bodies will not be able to adjust quickly enough (via the natural process of osmosis) and lead to shock. This is less likely to be as a result of pH shock, as we discussed previously, but more like from the inability to adjust to the new TDS level. Osmotic pressure changes are much more severe for aquatic organisms. By doing a slow drip acclimation, you change the TDS content of the water gradually and allows the fish/shrimp to slowly adapt. The water flow also need not be constant. It may be a good idea to even stop the flow of water altogether and let the animals sit for awhile and then restart the drip. The technique can be adjusted as you see fit. This post has been edited by ciohbu: Dec 21 2011, 12:57 PM |

Shrimp Diseases: Bacterial Infection Diagnosis and Symptoms QUOTE The diagnosis of shrimp diseases is a very complex area and it is often not possible to distinguish at first sight which or if any disease is present. In many cases, livestock are already affected when an outbreak becomes visible. It may start with one dead shrimp each day, and while water parameters may seem suitable, it can lead to molting problems and further fatalities. If shrimp turn white inside the body and their usual coloration fades, this only shows there is a problem in the circulation and a lack of oxygen in the body. Any fungal or bacterial infection in the body or harming of the gills can cause this. Most of these infections are secondary, meaning the actual cause is environmental, reducing the resistance of the shrimp. Some affected shrimp even lose antenna and other extremities (e.g. legs, eyes). In a later phase, shrimp are inactive and may ‘stagger’ through the water. These shrimp are more likely to die sooner rather than later. Some bacteria populations also erode the exoskeleton and shell: rusty, brown or black spots and holes are the visible signs of this. Also the gills can sometimes be damaged by bacterial pathogens. Biological and Organic Treatment methods QUOTE -The most important thing to do is: to improve water quality which in turn reduces harmful bacteria. -Clean the tank and gravel from mud and leftovers regularly. -Check your filtration set up and clean pipes and filter if it is very dirty or running slow. -Use filter booster bacteria like Mosura Bacter 9 to raise beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in your tank. -Inject oxygen with a simple air stone or similar. -Do change the water daily, with a minimum of 80% (not less!) for at least two weeks. This lowers the quantity of bacteria. If you change less than 80% of the water, bacteria will bloom again. It is important that the incoming fresh water has the same water parameters as your tank. Changes in parameters e.g. pH or GH will stress -your shrimp even more. -Feed less in both frequency and amount and remove ill or dead shrimp as soon as possible. -Add Indian Almond Leaves ('Ketapang Leaves') to support/promote healing. -Reduce stress for your shrimp. Fish Medicaments already tested with Freshwater Dwarf Shrimp (against Bacterial Diseases) QUOTE Clindamycin http://www.shrimpnow.com/content.php/134-S...erial-InfectionesHa Exit JBL Furanol (2) Seachem Paraguard Sera Bactopur Sera Omnipur S Bugs and Worms in a Shrimp Tank (harmful) Hydra  QUOTE Hydras are tiny animals, which are closely related to jellyfish. Green Hydras live in fresh water, such as streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds. They are very common. A Green Hydra can grow up to 30 millimeters long, but usually they are less than 15 mm. Hydras are found in shallow water, where they attach themselves to plants, stones, twigs, or other objects. Unlike their jellyfish cousins, they don't like to float around. rey of Green Hydras includes aquatic insects, crustaceans (such as water fleas and scuds), flatworms, aquatic worms, fish fry, and other small creatures in the water. They also eat a certain type of algae, called Chlorella, which is what makes hydras green. Chlorella stays alive inside the hydra. Since algae makes its own food. The hydra lets the Chlorella make food for it. If a hydra needs to move (perhaps it's not getting enough food), it can detach itself and move like an inchworm. They are notoriously well known to kill shrimplets and fish fries in breeding tanks. Planaria  QUOTE Planarias are free-living, primarily carnivorous flatworms-with a three-branched digestive cavity and comes in a varieties of colors (White, Rusty Pink and brown). Planarias may eat other living, as well as dead, invertebrates, detritus or decaying organic matter. That is why sometimes even if you stopped feeding for a few days, the planarias do not died from hunger and may even attack freshly moulted shrimps and shrimplets when there is a lack of food. Planaria usually slides on the gravel and tank walls in search of food and or bury themselves in the gravel to hide away from the light. more details : http://www.shrimpnow.com/content.php/122-B...n-a-Shrimp-Tank This post has been edited by ciohbu: Dec 21 2011, 12:53 PM |

Must keep this thread active....  I think I had 'dumped' about 60 RCS into my 26L nano tank in several batches over a few months (top up to replace the missing or dead ones. This excluded the expensive lessons of 15 CRS in 2 batches. One recently addition of a plant which I now suspect of being heavily dozed with copper fert killed all - including my highly entertaining pair of Amanos (a.k.a. Yamatos).  From my latest dump of 10 RCS 2 weeks back, I can only find 4 of them at certain times. Other times, cannot see them at all. Too many hiding spots. This is getting to be a costly exercise for me...  |

Are your CRSs doing fine for at least a month? If I can keep them alive for at least 6 months (from average lifespan of 2 years), I will not complain.

there are few reason why shrimp will swim all over the tank
1st, sudden change in water parameter or poisoning 2nd ...male are ready to mate, usually when female shrimp just moulted |

hi everyone,
need to ask sumthing. my tank average temperature is between 29-31 C and i really like to own a few RCS as a CUC for my tank. how do i lower my tank temperature for the shrimps to thrive happily? what is the temperature do they require to live happily? cant afford yet a chiller, so maybe a DIY cooler fan will do? usually how much can it lower the tank temperature? should i use more than one fan? any DIY user who had successfully made themselves their own cooler fan, plz help me. one more think, i already put a RCS inside my tank as a test subject for a few days, so far so good.. playing happily but i think i need to do sumthing about the temperature first before putting a few more into it. is the RCS ok or he is just abnormal since he can withstand the heat? do i need to try to learn to take care of feeder/ghost shrimps first (since they are cheap) before trying to take care of RCS? thank you in advance |

diy fan will do, 1 or 2 maybe, too many fans will evaporate your water too fast
how long ur tank cycle ? better let it mature first before putting more shrimp and dun overcrowd ur tank ghost shrimp are too easy and i personally saw they grab and ate one RCS, ghost shrimp are cleaners, they eat everything, so bcarefulThis post has been edited by ciohbu: Feb 9 2012, 08:11 AM |

saw on youtube, that if you cut planaria into multiple pieces, each and evry part of the cut parts will become an individual planaria?
wtf? or did i just watched some weird gameshow vid with weird creatures being cut in half and that creature is not planaria? |

i brought it at Rm100 from another forum.
It is a digital ph pen, very easy to use and handle. Claim to be maintenance free. it is impossible for you to catch them one by one bare handed. Use no-planaria powder to kill them. in my experience, 3 times dosage would clear up the whole population. But the powder is sold in quite huge package, normally is about RM40, enough for use for centuries. |

QUOTE(DecemberRose @ Feb 13 2012, 12:46 AM) So can i know what is the best way to kill planaria without harming my shrimp? No-planaria if u can get it if no u can try this: QUOTE Panacur and Flubenol are medicaments used for de-worming cats, dogs and other pets. While Flubenol uses as active agent ‘flubendazol’, Panacur uses ‘febendazol’. The components will destroy cell structure of planaria and let them starve after a few days. The drugs are available as powder, pills and liquids. Powder and pills must be dissolved completely in warm water before adding to the tank. Here is a step by step guide using Panacur: 1) Try to catch as lot of planaria as possible with a planaria trap and remove them from the tank. Remove snails before using Panacur, also. 2) Do your weekly water change (20-30%) and remove as much detritus (=biological waste) as you can. 3) Add the medicament. Prefer to do under-dosing more than overdosing! One pill Panacur KH 250 (with 250 mg Fenbendazol) is sufficient for 432 liters. Check out the table below and only calculate with the nett water volume of your tank! 4) After 5 days change 30-50% water and repeat the treatment and dose Panacur second time. 5) After 5 days, do another water change (30-50%) and filter with carbon to extract the leftover of medicament.  http://www.shrimpnow.com/content.php/278-P...-to-get-rid-off QUOTE(weijie @ Feb 13 2012, 10:21 AM) It is really very very long ~! yo weijiedamn alot moving around. and even more over dead shrimp body ! ciohbu: did you test your water ph? i just brought a ph pen yesterday.

sharing a post from UK
his shrimp population (£300-400 worth of livestock) got wide off after adding some new plants, found it was some poisoning, so pls read thru ya i am not sure where malaysia lfs import their plants ... might be from singapore too..   the reason are: QUOTE I can confirm the following information has been provided by the farms in Singapore who supply plants to the UK market. This information has been consulted on with respected persons in the UK industry. Phytosanitary certification requires the plants to be free of pests and disease prior to export to the receiving country. The methods applied are as follows – information supplied per farm: Our premium plants are dipped in BUPROFEZIN (0.01%) & TRICHLORFON (0.08%) for the duration 120 minutes Our primary supplier for standard plants dip in IMIDACLOPRID 18.3% V/V (0.005%) for 45 minutes Our second supplier for standard plant range dip in IMIDACLOPRID 18.3% V/V (0.005%) for 60 minutes ========================= TRICHLORFON <http://www.pesticideinfo.org/Detail_Chemical.jsp?Rec_Id=PC33346> Chlorophos insecticides are highly toxic organophosphate insecticides and cause damage to the nervous system ("anti-cholinesterase compounds"), so you would expect to see shrimp "staggering" about before dying. They are non-systemic, so shouldn't end up in the plant. BUPROFEZIN It is an "Insect Growth Regulator", which means that it would stop crustaceans shedding their skins (it interrupts chitin synthesis), so it could cause death in the longer term. IMIDACLOPRID, is a systemic, neonicotinoid insecticide and would remain in the plant for some time. Neonicotonoids are suspected of causing a lot of the decline of insect biodiversity in Europe and the USA, and a really not the sort of compound you would want anywhere near your shrimps. IMIDACLOPRID has low toxicity to fish, but is highly toxic to crustaceans, in conc. as low as 1 ppb for Mysis shrimp. "Products containing imidacloprid may be very toxic to aquatic invertebrates." "The half-life in water is much greater than 31 days at pH 5, 7 and 9". from Kidd & James (1991) The Agrochemicals Handbook, Third Edition. Royal Society of Chemistry Information Services, Cambridge, UK. precaution if u adding new plants QUOTE Our recommendation will be that all plants from ANY supplier should be quarantined in Alkaline water for a minimum of 2 hours to 48 hours, then finally rinsed in tap water prior to addition to any tank with livestock present. Please note - we say a MINIMUM of 2 hours and suggest that 48 hours be better... don't forget to perform water changes when appropriate. Alkaline water can be easily made using caustic soda or hydrogen peroxide mixed with water until the pH reaches 8.5. Remember to wash your plants in tap water as a final preparation before they go in your tank. http://www.plantedtanks.co.uk/plants-and-pesticides-17-w.asp http://www.ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19481 |

But i don't think it will really lower the amount.. as i see some of them might feed on the dead plant or something on the gravel.. tried 2-3 days without feeding the RCS but still see the white thing moving around.. but usually worst or the white thing population boost after 1 day of over feeding.. |

Hi,
I just lost all my CRS!....they just disappeared from my tank...thought hiding under the wood where I have planted the grass. I was moving the wood and found the white kinda of insect, tiny and swimming around. Could this be the one eating up my CRS? so sad now had about around 50 of them and had babies too! If it is the problem, how to get rid of it? And worse is I bought almost all CRS and plants from PETSHOP IN MV!!!! DAMN This post has been edited by lily64my: Feb 21 2012, 10:11 PM |

Damselfly nymph from damselfly and dragonfly nymph from dragonfly?
you usually get it from pond or lake, what i mean is if you often use net to catch wild fish from abandon pond or abandon lake, there is a very high chance you find those. Especially when you see dragonfly or damselfly flying around..----------------------------------------------------------- Kindda scary when RCS start multiplying... 1 feet aquarium having about 10-20 shrimplet... more coming...

higher grade RCS are often named sakura, fire red
yellow fire, chocolate are also from RCS low grade or normal RCS are quite easy to get, their color not that nice, some even close to transparent with small red patches around body, low grade RCS male are even more transparent than female one, but dun get confuse with ghost shrimp ya wild neocaridina is another story |

QUOTE(LuQEE @ Feb 29 2012, 09:05 AM) is snail trap expensive? i nvr seen one hehe it works sth like a roach trap. U place a bait in it and they go into the trap, after sometime u will have to remove the trap. how effective compared to using snail assasin and cucumber? Or u can get a dario-dario and dwarf puffer to eat all the snails...but ur shrimps will be in danger. |

If they are born with color which are nt so intense. Maybe u can try to cross them back to some vivid color shrimps. then ur off spring will ve better colors. |

I tried putting almost 2 week old guppies in the shrimp tank because i'm afraid the older guppies might eat the new born guppy... but it seems to be i'm wrong when I was 1 baby guppy swallowed the new born shrimplet whole... saw it with my eye.. you can try if you have more cover place or dense plant in your aquarium... but some shrimplets tend to swim at open space.... |

^mine was like you till
i made a DIY which was very easy and much cheaper compared to retail ones for my current 5G. currently using x2 8cm diameter DC fans powered using x2 12V AC-DC adapter. without fans: same like you 29-31 after installing 2fans = 25-26 after overstocking the tank with lots of fishes = 27-28.5 (26 during rainy nights) *no aircond in my room* |

^ try RCS since they are kinda hardy shrimps and cheap too
if yours they are dying in youre tank, u must have done something really really wrong with your tank ecosystem. also, they breed like rabbits too if they are in good condition. try ask L3()nZ if he is selling some. RCS colour grading names: Cherry Grade Sakura Grade High Grade Sakura / Low Grade Fire Red Fire Red Grade Painted Fire Red Grade |

Alternatively, you can buy them in lowyat forum pet store section, which is way more cheaper than buying in LFS. So far, the average pricing for those RCS grade after surveying in a few place: Cherry Grade - RM1-2/each Sakura Grade - RM2-4/each High Grade Sakura / Low Grade Fire Red - RM3-8/each Fire Red Grade - RM6-12/each Painted Fire Red Grade - saw in Singapore, not for sale.. all damn red weh, except joints in the legs food colouring pellets?  |

QUOTE(ngweileon @ Mar 21 2012, 01:13 AM) thx for ur info.. ya.. coz the guy told me CRS is easier than RCS.. then i buy with him.. 10 shrimps and all dying in the next few days.. quite sad and waste.. maybe he tell u the other way round, my first CRS die in 10min after throw the poor fella into an non-cycle tank(noob time). the RCS in that hell tankthe steps i know it and mostly i will do it when i bought new fishes and shrimps also.. so what u suggest me to buy on the grade?? and if i buy on lowyat forum... is the quality ok?? coz i cannot view on the shirmps' quality.. fair longer, 20pcs in total,each day 1 or 2 goto heaven till one left and together with a green shrimp both survive till her master graduate from the noob school. so make sure u cycle the tank and have all the basic/necessary component b4 getting ur shrimp. beside RCS , green shrimp is quite tough too. How red is ur RCS beside their own gene & grade also depend on your water parameters. for example at the LFS where i brought the RCS, almost all look pale or colorless in their poor man tank(the staff told me it already >a week they look like that). After i acclimate them into my tank for a day, the red color only show up, got 1 or 2 which are deep red. This post has been edited by arrow: Mar 21 2012, 02:29 AM |

@ngweileon:
CRS is way harder to keep if you compare with RCS and cherry. Thats why they are more expensive ! @LuQEE: Your sakura looks like cherry more to me. i having hundreds of them inside my 3feet. i just sold about 100 of them to separate buyers. @L3()nZ: would you share your experience in keeping these CRS? most beginners start with CRS instead of RCS. most of CRS ended up dead. IMHO, CRS must have cold water. maximum temperature it can survive is 28C. And also, they need very stable water parameters. successful CRS keepers monitor water Gh and Kh, as well as Ammonia and nitrate level. |

Natural Aquatic World shrimp tank planaria all gone, the staff there put no-planaria powder to clear it off, but the cherry shrimp all sold out,Though that is good for Arowana or fighting fish.. hm.. I can try when i get the mandarin shrimp... might look even orange...only left fire red at rm8 each, color seem ok and some crs/cbs and yamato. Be there yesterday. The catappa leaf is used by those breeder that supply shrimps to the LFS, the leaf came with the shrimp. Quote from the net: http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Catappa-Leaf-fo...=item3a657c7bd2 The size for each leave is about 18 to 20 cm length, 9 to 10 cm wide. Superb for Health, Vitality, and Successful Breeding! Scientific Name: Terminalia Catappa Leaves Common Name: Indian Almond Leaves, Tropical Almond Leaves, Sweet Almond Leaves, Wild Almond Leaves, Sea Almond Leaves, Catappa Leaves, Java Almond Leaves, Ketapang Leaves. We hand picked the leaves from live pesticide-free Catappa trees. The thick and matured leaves are sanitized & sun-baked for 3 days to produce the highest grade product for your beloved fishes. Preparing and sorting these leaves need plenty of time and dedication. Smell them and be amazed by the fragrance. We also supply to Germany and Spain Catappa resellers. Because of strict quality control, limited stock supply and overwhelming support, we often run out of stock. Right now we are doing our best to increase our production to meet the demand of both resellers and customers. Indian almond leaves have been widely used by Asian breeders of tropical fish (Angel fish, Arowanas, Cardinals, Corydoras, Discus, Betta etc) to stimulate breeding and promote health and vitality in tropical fish. They love it! We have feedback from customer that her betta is making bubble nest immediately after she placed the first leaf into her tank. Shrimps like to feed on the nutricious leaf after it softens in water. You can add the leaf directly into the tank or may be boiled and the extract to be added into the tank. Other Benefits -Simulate black water condition which is the natural environment for the tropical fish and shrimps. -Cure sick fish of bacterial infections and to help speed up healing of damaged fins or body injuries. However it is not a magic "cure-all", especially when dealing with diseases like dropsy, velvet etc. think of it as more of a preventative medicine. -Enhance fertility of fishes -Contain humic acids and tannins which have anti-bacterial & anti-fungal properties. -Contains chemical that will bind with ammonia in the water. -Contains calcium needed to activate the muscles and to develop strong bones, teeth and scales. -Enhances the natural color of the fish -Lowers the pH of the water and absorbs harmful chemicals. -Adds essential trace elements to the water. -Recommended for all fresh water fishes kept in small containers without filters, specially during transportation. -Dosage: Put one leaf in a 10 - 15 gallon tank. Discard the leaf after 1 week and replace with a new leaf. |

i don't c a problem if u can hook 2 tank together and the chiller can handle the load , i'm using hailer 28A , max is 200L. but of course is not advisable
to push to the max capacity as this will reduce the life-span and lead to higher electric .bill. i should have topup rm300 to get the 400L but my pathetic eheim 2213 just can't handle it. |

From 6.9 to 8.2..lucky i was able to create another temporary tank with low pH. does certain plant increase water pH or the water from the plant that increase the pH? really terrifying. soooo... that's why my shrimp die... bought few last week... after planting... my cherry and brown bees started to die... will pull out when I get home... |

i think maybe the water/ sponge that hold the plant have something to do with it. after i soak for about 4 hours in normal tap water, replant in the tank, check back the pH. surprisingly, the pH is 6.9. i got 2 red cherry shrimp die eventhough i change their tank.

Dun worry they are harmless to your shrimps. good idea?any recommendations for carpet plants for shrimp tank without co2? (except mosses and fern) thankyou~ Most carpet plants requires bright lighting and high CO2. Unless u go for riccia...but i dun really like them as when the shrimps will unroot them eventually now and then....and it will be floating around the tank. haha this is just my experience.

Normal gravel will do but it depend how u gonna maintain the water parameter suitable for sensitive shrimps like CRS/CBS. U can't simply purchase those soil and put into ur current tank, some of the soil will leech ammonia which fatal to ur CRS, it need time to mature and cycled before can be use to house CRS/Shrimps. May i know ur current tank that house the CRS is new or cycled one? |

Seachem purigen , can get from hehe- East Aqua Ikano branch(other branch don't have cos i nag ikano branch to restock - still got 2 box 100g left since i brought 1 more to keep) , Natural Aquatic World (aka NA subang got like 4 box 100g and the 250g bottle type, (if u buy the 250g bottle u need to get ur own filter bag as purigen media is very tiny in size, get the smallest pore size filter bag), ALL THE 100G come packed in filter bag - easier) , Aquatic Paradise in kajang got 2 box.AI , 88 pets mart , Nilufar , Qian Hu ,all DON'T have(one of them don't know what is purigen -hahahahaahah) although they claim as one of the BIGGEST LFS in malaysia  Cheapest i can get is RM45 after discount for the 100g purigen , if u can get it cheaper let me know which LFS. O almost forgot to tell u, DON"T use any amine based polymer dechlorinator with Purigen , it will not foul the resin but will render it non-regenerable. I change to Seachem Prime bcos of that and i love it. It didn't smell and stain my 11 liters mineral water bottles like API stress coat. taken from seachem website: Q: Does AP Stress Coat foul/ruin your Purigen product? A: If they use an amine based polymer it will not foul the resin but will render it non-regenerable. What amine based polymers will do is bond not just to Purigen but to any organic scavenging resin as well as any ion exchange resin and when you attempt to regenerate the resin they will then bond with the chlorine to form chloramine which can be released into the aquarium. This is not just an issue with Purigen but with all resins being sold in the pet trade. The problem only occurs when one attempts to regenerate the resin, there is no problem unless you wish to regenerate the resin you are using. Seachem products do not contain amine based polymers and are safe to be used in conjunction with not only our resins but also with other companies resins. http://www.seachem.com/support/FAQs/Purigen.html This post has been edited by arrow: Apr 6 2012, 04:49 PM |

benibachi shrimp soil is very good but very expensive. as long as the soil does it purpose of reducing the ph = good already. in taiwan they breed kingkong/ruby wine/pure red line in 5.0-5.5 ph. very low but the colors are strikingly awesome!

For the CRS tank i plan to set up simple moss tank that it CRS need water to be very clean , better free from organic pollutant, if you have to use the Gex soil i suggest you get seachem purigen in your filter to help clean/absorb all the organic pollutant, but this will cost you around rm45 for the 100g purigen(treat up to 400litres water capacity) . ADA soil , the problem is the long ammonia leeching period , took around 1 mths b4 the leeching subside, although a cycled tank will keep the ammonia level under control , it will easily leech ammonia if the soil is disturbed in first month or so, a sudden spike in ammonia will wipe/kill your CRS. (ADA soil need longer mature period and extra care, I'm using ADA new amazonia in my crs/shrimps tank cos i started as planted tank then converted to shrimps tank).my choice i will add in ADA soil into current Gex soil for planted tank and get benibachi soil for the new CRS tank , for shrimps tank an inch thick of soil is sufficient. fyi benibachi soil 5Litres cost rm120 at NA(bargain abit, stated price is rm130) Added on April 7, 2012, 1:53 am QUOTE(LuQEE @ Apr 6 2012, 07:59 PM) how much do they cost? per bottle?

That why we only feed the shrimps flake food that are stable in & won't cloud the water, remove it within 1-2 hrs even it not fully consumed. Free floating shrimps/shrimplets food like borneowild bebi & mosura bio-plus is itself biodegradable and will help break down organics waste thus will not foul the water and safe to left in there.

Bebi (this i prefer cos it help build up bio-film and help decompose organic waste and won't pollute water , also useful when you have shrimplets RCS really fast in breeding) Mosura Old Sea Mud ( (help in mineralization and decompose of waste) For RCS without breeding aid they also breed like crazy, think i have like >100 rcs/red fire shrimplets in my 2 feet tank. My xmas moss tree like a Christmas tree during the feeding time when all of them clling on the tree top. In shrimps keeping especially CRS , it is very very important to keep tank water clean(your water look crystal clear doesn't mean it is clean), that is lot of waste hidden in the soil substrate you can't see and shrimps like to dig the soil for food, that why it is important to have shrimps food/supplement that can help in developing good bacteria and decompose of organic waste. BW Grow & BW Bebi you can get from 88 petsmart , but BW Stout they currently out of stock BW Shield & BW Barley you have to get it online through Aquashop in lelong.com.my. You can just get all from aquashop since it cheaper even with the RM10 shipping charge. |

Does it really enhance the breeding progress? I tried Mosura Gravidas, dun see much effects.i already use up half bottle , yes it work , my shrimp & shrimplets going crazy for it , the best is that it also help decompose organic waste and won't pollute your water.

CRS won't survive in KL malaysia room temperature(29-31'c++) unless you staying in cameroon or genting. The lower/lowest grade CRSanyways, do crs live in room temperature? can endure till 27'c - 28'c if i not mistaken but at this temperature they hardly breed, if breed shrimplets hardly survive. CRS best keep at 23'c-25'c range, i keep mine at 24'c, now 5 CRS berried, 1 give birth , shrimplets still survive after 6 days but hopefully they can make it this round, previous 2 round all CRS shrimplets died within 3 days. If you really want to keep CRS , recommend you get a chiller , Advance Reef(penang) distributor for Hailea brand chiller currently in Kenanga Mall near Pudu Jail KL having a booth display , they have 2 unit of hailea chiller selling at 20% discount, get the HS-28A model if your tank is less then 400l in size. (but don't know still available or not) , i saw it yesterday at 6pm. the event is from 19 april(yesterday to 22 april(sunday). refer -> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2314122 |

Like my case when a new plant i brought release pesticide. Transferred shrimps still continue to died slowly for almost a week. Or anythings new you feed them recently, and ask your family members did anyone ever use insecticide near or putting hand/things in your tank. Don't dip your hand in the tank if you just wash your hand with soap. This post has been edited by arrow: Apr 25 2012, 07:21 PM |

QUOTE(darthsyaz @ Apr 25 2012, 09:34 PM) I think organic waste build or hand poison... unfortunately i didn't find a way to cure it other then seeing them died one by one, but you can put in Active carbon to absorb pesticide andis there any way to stop them from dying or cure the poisoning? seachem purigen to clear up organic waste, a vacuum of the soil/gravel is recommend if organic waste build-up is suspected. You can use organic based soap to clean your hand or wash/rinse your hand thoroughly before handling the tank. I have been to this pesticide and organic waste problem before as my tank is actually a planted tank converted to shrimps tank, Those plant debris and waste accumulated at soil is slowly killing my shrimps , each day will have like one to two died until i realize how dirty my substrate are although water is crystal clear. I did a major vacuuming of the ADA soil , do a 70% water change, fill up tank and put in Purigen, change my feeding pattern and food. (no longer feeding food that unstable and easy polluting the tank.) For shrimps tank you need to maintain high level of beneficial bacteria not only in filter but on anywhere in the tank , those bacteria will help decompose waste, build-up bio-film(food) etc, you have to choose some food & supplement that will provide those bacteria or help decompose of waste beside the normal shrimps food. Borneowild Bebi/mosura bio-plus is not only shrimp & shrimplets food but also as waste decompose helper, Mosura Old Sea Mud will also help in absorbing toxic and cleanup waste. My routine every morning is to dose old sea mud & a little bit of bebi or bio-plus to the tank, at night will feed some small amount of shrimps pellet plus bebi/bio-plus. occasionally boiled organic spinach etc. ( i usually won't buy/feed those shrimps food that come in small/micro form that will sunk anywhere in the tank as those food will be impossible to retrieve and will pollute the soil unless they can self decompose like bebi/bio-plus) Mineral and breeding aid and other conditional will be added occasionally. Every 2 weeks or more i will throw in a ADA bacter ball for them to feed on. Added on April 26, 2012, 3:08 am QUOTE(sang gemok @ Apr 25 2012, 02:14 PM) 10pcs kot. hehehe. if you need a help on sorting, i can help.don't worry, im good in sorting fire.hehehe. but don't shock if you can't find all the fire.coz i sort the fire in my pocket LOL.hehehe. juz kidding. cubic 1 feet tank will be 27L water capacity, not too bad. Lighting 11w to 15w is more then enough , plants can be just moss or with ferns, i don't recommend Anubias, for me i use only moss, moss got lot of variety and appearance, search for it in google. Moss you need to tight to wood or rock, you can get some cheap wood from nilufar pets & aqua shop in tesco jln kuchai lama, but for any new wood, treat it with boiling water and rinse and let it sit in a bucket to leech out tannie for a few days before use.for the time being, i still on my way to setup my shrimp tank.but have no idea what lighting to use and got some difficulties on setup a tank since don't know what scape and plant to use. i heading for lowtech shrimp tank. can you help a bit on giving ideas for 1x1x1feet tank please...huhu. i find cubic is interesting and spacious for the shrimps to scavenge.huhu. i have not much ideas on setuping shrimp tank since this is my first time.huuu. For gravel , you can use ADA new amazonia or just plain holland/river sand will do, but the latter won't have ph buffering capabilities. Further read on setting up shrimps tank -> http://www.planetinverts.com/Invert%20Tank%20Setup.html You will need a filter , a HOB(hang on back) filters , canister , sponge filters, combinations of them is possible, limit is your budget and tank size. Air pump is a must , shrimps just love oxygen rich environment, (sponge filters need a air pump to function). Then you need to cycle your tank, refer here for guide -> http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/freshwa...um-cycle-38617/ Example :  Saw the tank on the left , that tank is almost the same size of one you want, just 5cm taller, 1feet(L) x 35cm(H) x 1feet(w), That is EBI Fluval shrimp tank, come with most items , internal filter, lighting , shrimps soil , net , shrimps food , water conditioner. If you don't mind fork out rm300++ for it , it almost a complete set for beginner. This post has been edited by arrow: Apr 26 2012, 03:08 AM |

QUOTE(sang gemok @ Apr 28 2012, 12:59 AM) is it? in that case, i can start to scape lor.hehe. how thick the substrate is depend how deep is your pocket , but not overly thick , for me minimum 2.5cm till 6cm max.how thick exactly the substrat to put? my 1feet tank soil is 2.5cm thick(Fluval stratum shrimp soil), the new 50cm(benibachi soil) one is around 3.5cm thick. The 2ft(ADA new amazonia) is 7cm thick(but this one is exception cos initially it was a planted tank). What substrate you plan to use ? ADA new amazonia ? if ADA , need to cycle longer cos it leech ammonia for at least a months. You can calculate how many liters of soil you need by using this formula -> Tank(Length) x Tank(Width) x desired soil height/10 , Let say you want soil to be 3cm thick in your 1feet cube tank , then (3 x 3) x 3/10 = 2.7litres.

Fyi borneowild growth is not shrimps safe but the manufacture reply me said it still can be use but half the amount.(of course I wont take the risk and exchange it to BW lush.) |

I'm now experiencing keeping crs in fan cooled tank, temp 26'c - 28'c, so far the lone golden crs survive for more then a week, gonna introduce some more crs into the tank to try out. Internet info state that at that temp it hardly breed but there is nothing to lose in trying. This post has been edited by arrow: May 6 2012, 03:24 AM |

put circular sponge on the inlet like those sponge filter, they can at least hold small amount of good bacta, but will greatly reduce intake flow when clogged IMHO

Imho planted tank emphasizes on layout and overall plant grow but shrimps tank we emphasizes on bacteria grow in order to help provide a clean conductive environment for our shrimps to grow & breed. |

Yes Sakura red are better quality then normal cherry, close to fire red. But still can not compare to those painted fire reds. Fire red it's hard to get males, shops onli have female for sell. Unless u get from breeder. but do some of them give you "Sakura Cherry" rather than "Fire Cherry"? "Sakura Cherry" is second grade better than red cherry shrimp and lower than fire cherry right? |

b4 i found this stainless steel mesh, i was using NA one also... the quality and workmanship not very good actually for a item >RM30 @.@'''
i am using 16mm for HOB eheim liberty 2042, no need to take out the intake head or modify anything, just slot it the mesh only... hehee, i guess it can fit any filter intake or hob as long as the size is 12mm or 16mm.. but the intake can't be too long, if no the mesh can't cover whole thing how i measure the diameter  sample pic of my tank (sorry for the blur pic)  i got order few units from my supplier but can't guarantee anything yet, sometime they run out of stock i will update here once i got the stock cheersThis post has been edited by ciohbu: May 8 2012, 06:57 PM |

You can get it from aquashop in lelong , 500g pack for like RM70++ , 2ft tank only need to put in 1 -2 'ketul',but i think the overall function beside providing mineral is to help absorb impurities & waste , so you all can see CLEAN water is first criteria in shrimps keeping. If want to get cheap borneowild , mosura etc shrimp products , you have to go singapore. |

Sulawesi shrimps prefer temp 28-29c, their natural habitat temp is around 29.5c.about your sulawesi cardinal, it is really hard right to achieve ph8 .huhu. and they need temp at below 27c also kah?huhu But you need to care about the TDS level. They need hardwater. My tank is using fan temp 28'c++ , they seem comfortable. |

Easy to breed kah? you try first. if good, i will follow u. hehehe. i think, better you focus on the sulawesi only. because, later you will have no time with the other tanks. beside, it is my opportunity to get cheap stuffs from you. etc, aquarium chiller, sss grade crs and good shrimps tanks. hehehe. juz kidding. if you think that my idea is good, please let me know the bulk price of the crs tank setup plus chiller. hehehehe. juz kidding,juz kidding. hehehe.

I don't feel the same for fish, to me they like food the only fish i like to keep is those marine one but as expected i find the marine shrimps alot alot nicer. Do you know anyone that only keep marine shrimps in a expensive marine tank? I like to be the one but it just too costly and hightech.Btw those guppies & swordtail are my wife liabilities , i ask her, can feed them to my crayfish , she said you dare!!!!^%%& This post has been edited by arrow: May 11 2012, 05:30 PM |

why u wanna increase ur calcium ? GH not enough ?
i got my minerock from sazuka, same price with lelong, but i didn't put in whole piece, i break it down to small pieces and try 2 first for sulawesi, they need higher PH and different mineral combination (US selling pre-mix salt just for sulawesi) also their natural habitat is quite basic and empty... not fancy fancy like planted tank cheers ~ |

You will experiment some shrimps dead in the early stage of using this soil if you rush and putting in shrimps after tank is cycled. Reason is ammonia spike is notorious in ADA soil in early stage, just a little ticker here & there like arrangement stone/decor/plant will lead to ammonia spike. It took me a good few mths & some occasion gravel vacuuming before the soil stabilize. Secondly, build a strong beneficial bacteria base, this will ensure proper dispose of toxin and waste in order to maintain clean water. Ammonia & Nitrite must be zero & Nitrate must be under control as well preferable under or not more then 5ppm, to achieve this beside water change , having some floating plant like duckweed will help absorb the nitrate. Food and supplement , you need to spend a little on this , get at least those BW Bebi (RM40) . mosura old sea mud(RM19) , BW Shield(RM57), BW Barley (RM22). Those food will last very long cos you only use a little everyday.

So how to increase gh n more calcium ar? What crab you keeping ? i keep vampire crab & rainbow crab. For vampire crab more headache they not keen on be feed and eat very little, where-else the rainbow crab are like living rubbish bin , grub down everything eatable you throw at her.
