then how to increase PH?

Any recommendation for type of fishes to keep together with shrimps, other than tetra?

errrrrrr, good or bad ar?

Not really , i keep my malaya and sulawesi shrimps at PH 8 ~ 8.2. it just depend on which shrimps.
RCS(cherry) shrimps also can adapt to high PH, i have some at PH 8.2 as well.

I have all those shrimps , all keep in different setup , so PH also vary, it depend on the substrate i'm using cos the soil buffer the water ph.
For neocaridina shrimps don't look at the PH first(as they adapt to different PH range) but the GH and TDS , but the think is lot of ppl don't want to invest in an TDS pen. So at least get an rm20++ GH tester . Neocaridina shrimps(Fire Red Shrimp, Blue Jelly and Yellow Shrimp) live well in higher GH and TDS water in the range of GH 6~8 and TDS of 200++.
If you want exact figure i can list them down.
Fire red tank - PH < 6(new benibachi soil) , GH 8 , TDS 240+-.
Blue Jelly PH 6.8 , GH 7, TDS 300++
Fire Yellow PH7.2 , GH 6, TDS 210+-.
They all breeding.
But that doen't mean other setup won't work just that you may need a range you can refer/fall back to.

Caridina shrimps type like CRS/CBS , King Kong is much diifferent and complex the requirement and they do picky on PH level beside GH & TDS.

H.E.L.P Advanced Soil(Shrimps) i use before, make sure you cycle it throughly, for this soil also leech ammonia by tons like ADA soil.
although shorter period.

First 24 hours in their new home... out of 8 adults + dunno how many shrimplets of various sizes, one adult died.

Bought all of them together... means not graded properly?

It's hard to tell cos they shops here like to keep the shrimps with black background, black soil and purple light.

ADA Africana the orange soil, unlike ADA amazonia soil, won't leech that much ammonia but buffer ph much lower then amazonia,
you can use coral stone to buffer UP the ph and also increase the GH and TDS as well. Just 2 to 3 pcs the size of old rm0.50 coin in your filter is enough.
Don't use coral sand in your substrate, cos it is almost impossible to remove later, use coral stone better.
Cherry is one of the the most hardy shrimps around and cheap too , so will act better as a beginner shrimps.
Don't put yamato shrimps and flying fox in your shrimps to eat algae , both will attack your cherry if they have the chance, just use otto fish will do or snails.

Taikor,
recently i notice there is blue jelly shrimp (light blue) and another 1 is dark blue like jeans colour. are they higher grade or difference type of shrimp? as they selling same price, so tempted to get those dark blue can someone enlightened me? wanted to mix it with my cherry and fire red....

same price as blue jelly, LFS that put all shrimps in one tank? sound like Nilufar.

Sharing some recent photos

me super noob lah.

Using Gex soil. The moss don't need CO2.. don't need much light as well and they grow damn fast.

Just realized that there's this worm like critters (really thin white string-like stuff) in my tank. Is it harmful?

My cherry shrimps has been a year old, some die, some newborns. However, the adults are not as big as the ones I see in LFS. Although I know it could be nutrient deficiency, the difference between the adults are quite big. I only feed pellet to them.

Mind sharing some nice place for me to go and check. Not midvalley.. they are not friendly...

~Cover filter inlet with sponge or fine mesh prevent them to be suck in.
~Don't over excited and overfeed,
~remove big fish if any.
~water change 10% and careful not to suck them in. You can divert the water to a bucket first before flush out so you could check any of your grandchild there. Torch light will be handy.

it looks 90% like a male baby.. where the other shrimplets?
