QUOTE(surfsmurf @ Dec 29 2011, 09:59 AM) juz dump 10 rcs into my shrimp tank. lazy to keep additional shrimp tank. orange + red cherry i wonder how will look like My shrimp story to share. 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...  |

QUOTE(smobu @ Dec 31 2011, 06:09 PM) Do you guys use chiller for CRS? Nobody answered my same question. Thread starter, ciohbu must be away on holiday...   I tried keeping CRS with DIY blower fans with temperature around 27.5 to 28.5 degrees. They all died off one by one within 2-3 weeks. Guess they need around 25 or lower consistently. |

QUOTE(surfsmurf @ Jan 1 2012, 11:30 PM) don't think it's temp problem. i'm keeping crs with fan too but i hear diff to breed. of coz with chiller better n breed ezly So, what are your pH, KH ad GH values? 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.

If you are referring to the background, they are not eggs but fabric mesh to grow my wall of Christmas Moss. Beautiful creatures.  This post has been edited by mattw: Jan 2 2012, 10:09 AM |

QUOTE(wkeongabguide @ Jan 29 2012, 10:19 PM) Is it possible to add White Cloud Mountain Minnow with Amano and Fire Red Shrimps? I have them together in my nano tank - they don't bother one another.im thinking to add them with my shrimps and cardinal tetras. |

QUOTE(surfsmurf @ Feb 2 2012, 10:59 AM) 2 of my firered died yday Sounds like what had happened to mine at one time - after I added some plants to the tank. I figured it was due to copper poisoning from the leftover ferts on the new plants. My entire shrimp colony (RCS and Yamato) was wiped out. b4 they die they shot all over the tankl like being possessed and drop dead any idea why ? the yamato no problem |
