Hi, another question here...

Is Neocaridina enough to clear the Algae or need to put in some Caridina (Amano/Yamato) for that purpose and if it is ok mix both in the same tank? Thanks smile.gif

No-planaria will kill planaria without harming the shrimp, but snail will be killed too... sad.gif

Hmmmm, then need to remove the Nerite snails for few days when dosing the No-Planaria, perhaps...

Don't overdose no planaria. If notice lot of dead planaria around, do water change as ammonia build up from decompose dead planaria will harm your shrimps.

thanks, will try to "no planaria" in Penang this weekend smile.gif

Can't find "No Planaria" in Penang sad.gif

And for the past few days, found 4 dead Adult RCS, could it possibly that Planaria kill them?

I tried to throw a chunk of chicken meat into the tank, gosh, many Planaria came out!

The 2 dead on Saturday were both female just gave birth (one RCS, one Rili)

All are adult shrimps, found some empty shells, could it be bad molt?

There is also Planaria in the tank, but Planaria killing adult shrimps? The tiny shrimplets still ok though...

bad molt and planaria both kill shrimps, shrimps are more vulnerable to planaria/fish attack just after they molt as the body is still soft.
Bad molt may due to lot of reason , one most common is low water GH.
Try provide more info like
which soil used? water ph ? kh , gh and tds if possible.

and i can confirm No-Planaria won't kill Nematode.  It will kill Hydra though.

ADA Amazonia soil mix with black sand and gravel...

Don't have tool to check PH, and GH, but i dose MgSO4 and CaNO3 dry fert follow EI, for months, and it is fine until last week.

It is 1 feet tank.

I did 3 dose of No Planaria for 3 days, can't see Planaria so far, either hiding deep into the substrate or dead... going to do 40% water change this evening. Touch wood, so far no casualty on the adult shrimp, the tiny shrimplets still don't know...

Any other precaution i need to take?

Not planaria. Planaria got triangle head.
Put in some fish like galaxy rasbora to eat them.

Only have guppies and ottos in my tank, any other shrimp safe fishes that I can keep?

Red Fire or cherry shrimp - they are more affordable for beginners. I hv tried many times but never knew the reason they died all at the same time.

yeah, even RCS is sensitive to GH and PH, in my tank, 1 or 2 die on and off, particularly when I started to inject CO2, still don't seem to be able to get the optimum water condition sad.gif ... maybe the sifu(s) can advise more blush.gif

I think increase C02 will cause the water to become more acidic, PH drop...

IMHO , If you will only to keep neocaridina type shrimps like cherry, rili , fire red , yellow, PH is not that important as they can adapt to it, the one you need to take care of is the GH and TDS , try to attain a GH of 6 to 8 and a higher TDS of 200++. However if you will to increase your tank existing GH and TDS , try to do it gradually.
Products like seachem equilibrium , UP aqua GH UP , Borneowild GH UP , Mosura Mineral Plus will either increase GH or TDS or both. 
Cheap old man solutions will be using coral stone in the filter but you can't control the PH/GH/TDS that it keep increasing in the long run if this method be employed.

Currently, I dose MgSO3 and CaNO3 follow EI...
