i use base on the number of shrimp in the tank , normally one to two small pellet for each shrimp enough.

Thanks!

Other close up picture! hehe

I wonder how is our friend in Taiwan doing!

Hi Sniper,

I'm new to shrimp keeping. Mind to share what kind of light did you get? I'm interested to get one to replace my current LED light (use for planted tank) which is too bright and can't be adjusted. Whenever it is switched on the shrimps will become panic and run for place to hide.

What moss are in your picture? looks good 

Nice and clean tank. Can you share some of your experience? I did it once before, basically just to remove the flora out of the tank while the shrimps still in it. Somehow it's turns out just a mess.

Gonna start my shrimp tank re-scaping soon. What i'll use back is the water from the previous tank. Not so sure about the soil though.

Maybe is the shrimp soils that make a diffs comparing with other soils. So i assume all your shrimps are all removed from the tank and keeping it with the existing water from the tank right?

Hi,

How are they doing during weekends where no aircond?

I gave up cycling my tank oredi. Came to a conclusion that to rear shrimp you must bear with worms (nematode, copepod, planaria, detritus) . I personally phobia with all this wiggling creatures arhhhh.
I destroyed my small tank oredi, remove moss spray moss wif h.peroxide n deep soaking in clean water. Dun even know how to catch one rasbora so I figure tat I doze the tank 1st. Aquarium salt, table salt n
malachete green. Stir the soil. Those worms that crawling on glass wiggling non stop then sunk down under. Later rasbora also saffocated on top surface make me easier to catch wif my 2 fingers n faster transfered to my other 2 ft tank. He made it alive I'm glad.Gonna leave tat small tank like tat maybe one week before I can start cleaning wif boil water to wash off the decaying dead corps in soil. Soil probably can be re use after dried under sun.
Im so Sorry every1 if u find tis horribly disgusting n cruel.

I know :s sorry. I luv shrimp but i can't stand worms. They co exist with each other

28-30days. Almost for you.  Check in few more days see got thinly black dot on the eggs or not. These are the eyes.
If got eyes they will be born in few more days.

use magnifying glass , easy to spot.

got baby come out since left 2 eggs? they super stress they will drop the eggs.

That's good news  . My two berried fire yellow I got from arrow. One went missing another one seems to have either dropped her eggs or they hatched yesterday  . But can't spot any shrimplets. Hope it's the latter 

Ketapang leaf have anti bacteria and fungus properties  beside it serve as bacteria bed for bio film to grow on and provide consistent food source for the shrimplet.
It last very long in the tank, it do reduce ph and tds a bit. Unless you put alot or your tank is very small it wont affect the parameters much.

Hi arrow,

For shrimplets I heard that they are more sensitive in their first few weeks to water parameters change. Do we still perform water change as usual i.e. 10% - 20% per week or only top up will do just for these few weeks?

until the leaf turn 'botak' , the shrimp will eat till it left a skeleton.

Dont break into small pcs. Just cut  into half ir 1/3 if too big.
In small pcs much faster disintegrate and may pollute the tank.

use mosura mineral plus , also can use benibachi emergency water.
