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!

Wow..your soil so thick! 3 cm? My passion for shrimps died after 30 pieces of black king kong died when I was moving house =(

Ahh...im also using new amazonia..lol.. nice nice slope.. water stability defers in different area. different quality of water and that time I was about to go to Korea for holiday. So just taruh them inside the tank and pray for the best. It went well for 2 weeks after I come back then tragedy struck.. lol.. ammonia spikey.. oh well... from 400 pieces of crs left to 30

no..im talking about the water in different places .. ie: shah alam / subang jaya/ old shah alam / new area shah alam

one black king kong rough estimate price use to be rm150 per piece.. so around rm4500 gone down the drain!

*poison*
sigh.. all gone

I bought 5 for 550 SGD last time.. then breed until 30 pcs but their mutation are very unstable. Very easy to die when young. CRS all grades I have but usually sell the A/S grades. Fast sellers.

TianYin: Now market price drop alot already. But some of the SG people that sells this shrimps are very low in survivability. Selling at 1cm < size chances of dying is very high! But it's cheap now.
Mutation from CRS: cross it with crs then the new few generation have the black king kong. we call it gene shrimps. but they are usually very small and tend to die easier.

I want to quit the hobby already.

Yay..found a few pieces of black king kong shrimplets in my tank..must be the gene shrimps.. All is not lost!!

Pic of my tank? Or the shrimplets..shrimplets cannot see from camera..its around 1 week old shrimplets.. Starting from young its blueish in colour the white n the black is blue-black. After that the colour intensify.. Im using artica chiller with 5.8 ph..23 degrees +-0.5 new amazonia soil recommended by my friend but not that great la..hahaa but since got bkk shrimplets okay la..tonight will post pic if got time..side view of the tank

No clear wor..the clear one in mac forum..but my shrimplets few days old oni..wait abit..working now. Night if got time spam photos..

Here's some of the sneak preview!

BKK derives from CRS/CBS mutation just like Green Hulk & Blue Bolt.



One of the Ruby Wine I found while feeding!

The us fissiden just grow only..very slow..n damn lazy to buy fishing line...ahhaha that time my friend gave me damn alot of fissiden so just use the thread to tie n let it forest itself..
Bkk n ruby wine are mutation usually the parents r small n they arent really big. Usually can carry eggs at 1.5cm..n they r stuck at that size sometimes..

Wa u all rare shrimps like go science lab. Last time i use the paper strip all in one with kh gh n ph. But not very good. Around rm1 per strip. Very expensive after awhile so i just wait my tank to cycle. Usually see the response from the shrimps.(breeding, the little bugs in the tank, activity of shrimps)

Hahaha no expert la..but last time also bought all the testers like u all but feel abit wasted to buy all those. Its expensive. So just wait until can see those bugs/shrimp activity to save money lo..i poor ma..hahah

Derick: u wanted to bkk in mac?

Nola..that guy is my friend..the shrimps are high quality bkk..

Its a crs mutation just like ruby wine, blue bolt n green hulk.

Alamak.. I read.wrongly.. Ya its bkk..i thought he askedwat is bkk. In taiwan bkk is also called shadow bee. Go mac forum u can see my pictures there. Or i pm u my fb for the link of pictures.

U top up water everyday? Must be crazy hectic..my temp is 23.5 - 24c. Shrimp colony expanding fast..need to sell off soon..
