NA not selling Borneowild shrimps stuff, they only sell borneowild lily pipe & accessories.
The only LFS i know in KL that sell some(not full range) Borneowild shrimps food/supplements are 88 petsmart and Aqua World(damansara).
for starter food you can get the BW - Grow(RM35-20g) & BW - Bebi(around RM40) and for some breeding aid - BW - Vigor(RM60++).
Shirakura food - minima breeder Ebi Dama  & baby shrimp food Chi Ebi only Aqua World have them cost around rm50++ per pack.

Shirakura link http://www.shirakura-shop.de/en/shirakura_...p_food_feed.htm
Borneowild link

Others i normally get from aquashop in lelong.

actually this was taken from another forum members opinion but i do agree with him , those are:

If I were starting I'd go with the below:

Shield (this will keep the water and shrimp healthy...without good water you will have deaths)
Stout (this makes the shells really shiny and thick looking...healthy shell means healthy shrimp overall)
Grow (this is a "complete" shrimp diet unlike others that BorneoWild carries which are just supplementals)
Barley (I'd add this supplemental food too since it's REALLY cheap and it helps with water quality...you get get by without this but it's so cheap that you might as well add it to the cart).
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.

THANKS SO MUCH. you are really2 a helpful person. may god bless you.

anyways, do crs live in room temperature?

i haven't sorted out my shrimp, have fire & cherry mixed. Try to allocate them to different tank but my new tank not yet finish cycled, hopefully
can cycled in one weeks.
How many you want to buy? 10 or 20 tails ?  biggrin.gif market price a tail is RM6 to RM10. of course mine cheaper then that.
If i sell my one is like 1cm to 1.5cm big only, smaller then the one in LFS, but frankly speaking, juvenile shrimp better cos they more easy to adapt to
new environment and last longer since rcs only have a life span of the most 2yrs.
*
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.

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. sad.gif

Confirm safe what I use, using those for > 6mths, just remember use half dose of what recommended on the bottle.  fert other then the one I mention early you need to search if it shrimps safe in the internet.
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.)

Remove one of those plug-in sponge that come with the HOB , put it more media, then add in one more air driven sponge filter in the tank.
