hmm...not really anymore..put 2 pcs of big wood n planted inside tot can lower down ph..but still same

-how long you use the HELP soil ?, and how many Kg/L of soil you use and your tank size?
(This soil may lost it buffering power as this is really not a good shrimp soil)
-Using full RO or Tap water ? if tap water , what is the tap water PH?
-This a full shrimp tank or planted shrimp tank , got use co2 ?

These PH medicine better don't use , wont last long.

Hi waikikizz,
I think you need to do some research into buffering PH. This is very basic for aquarists as the nitrogen cycle.

Your fishes/shrimp will suffer and likely die if PH does up and down. Stability is more important than achieving ideal PH value. Azoo PH down - as arrow said. Don't use that.

Here's a good resource that explains everything:-

Lowering the pH is a more extensive task. If you simply add a product such as “pH Down” this will not work.
Stability is most important.

is there a name of those shrimp you can buy from the aquarium shop? like RM1 for one small cup. those shrimps are mainly to feed other bigger fishes.

anybody know where can i get malayan shrimp or where can i catch them?

Get from Arrow ^^

You need to manually catch them.
Medicine that kill them will also kill your shrimps.
Hopefully there is not many in your tank.

Hi all,

anyone knows what species this is?
bought it for cheap, and it's growing fast, wonder if it'll start to munch up my fishes if it grows any bigger, it's currently around 3+CM long..

look like feeder shrimp aka ghost shrimp. They are not friendly towards dwarf shrimp and small fish.

googled ghost shrimp, and yes i believe you're right.
kept them in my tank with goldfish and guppies for more than a month, and now i saw 3 females with eggs.

just set up my new tank

a reset from my guppies


using ada amazonia soil as base with some bacterial powder in between
then poured some purifier and sprayed some water

gonna leave it there for 3 days before adding water and cycle it for another 3 weeks


looks good?

They are killing your shrimps. I had it in my tank. It cames either with your new plants.

Hi guys, sharing my new tank being set up. Using hmf diy filter and benibachi soil. I put in some age bio home bio media hope to kickstart the cycle faster.

After adding more soil
