Must be nutritious. The flesh got oil right wouldn't  the water get a layer of oil?

Hi arrow,

Why my CRS does not breed? But my cherries breed like crazy? I think if I had to estimate how many cherries including all the babies, I would say easily over 500 tails is a conservative estimate. First batch was only 12 about 6-7 months ago.

4 months ago, I added 12 CRS and 6 Tigers. I lost a few due to jumpers, and 1 CRS died in the tank after I did a big WC. Then I added maybe 6 more CRS/CBS to replenish the losses.

In mid-end December, I saw one Tiger was berried. But its no longer berried now and I never saw the babies. And I've never seen any CRS berried.

Now I think I have left at least 15 CRS/CBS combo and 4 or 5 Tigers.

Any idea why the cherries can breed, but CRS cannot? I understand Tigers are the same category with CRS and will interbreed?

no wo, water no oil, my shrimp tank 1 month+ haven change water.
still crystal clear.

(too clean till BN pleco KO )

Surprising I tot sure got oil from the santan. U don't feed the BN?

Wow! 500? how big is your tank? Care to share tank temp and water parameters?

what is your water temperature, ph ,gh and tds?

its fresh coconut. size about 50 cents (old coin) thickness about 2 coins.  now its paper thin.

my setup is a fluval spec V, sealed the bottom filter hole, added thin dense wool like filter around the original filter (has a bag of carbon and bio media in the middle) for a snug fit, and above to cover it, bottom is ceramic balls, added a super fine SS mesh at top intake.

a SS tea mesh, used for ADA bacter ball.  last time didnt use SS tea mesh, shirmps literally destroyed the ball in a day. ended up with cloudy water for 5 days or so.
now using mesh, much cleaner. even baby shrimps feeds on it. ball has been in there for about 1 month. now its powder like.
about the BN   I thought the shrimp food and some algae on the glass  will suffice. 

Its a 3 footer tank. Chiller regulated to 25C.
Just measured my PH is 7.0. But maybe it needs to be recalibrated as I'm using ADA soil, so it should be around 6.8.
TDS is 180.
GH is 3-4.

Been sometime since I took readings, but I'm seeing my TDS increase over the past 6 months from 90, to 110, and now 180.

hi guys, i did planted tank for years and stopped nearly 2 years ago. now breeding guppies...

and i have recently set up a nano 1ft cube moss tank..... thinking of housing shrimps...

can you guys suggest me what are the do's and don'ts?

also, i have an eye on either fire red shrimps and orange shrimps, both about the same price. can you pls share with me how difficult is it to keep fire red and orange shrimps pls? thanks! have a nice weekend!

Feeding time. This time I got proper shrimp food. Btw anyone know where can I get Ss grade Crs in kelang valley?

There is load of snowflakes you put in there.

1 put 1 stick. It broke and expand. I tot I can take out remaining food but didn't know it will disintegrate 😱

Just left it there, snowflakes won't pollute the water unless you dump a tons inside.
share with you my blue diamond shrimp tank. low quality video though, forgot to set back to HD recording.

venturing into new field eh? 

fire red and orange are not as sensitive as CRS to water parameters. but all shrimp are still sensitive to major water changes.

if u wan to breed them, ideal temperature must be maintained.

one don'ts is not to change water like the way you showed me how u changed water for your guppies 

Neocaridina shrimp, take care of the KH and GH, preferable KH should be in 3-4 , GH 5-8, and tds 100-150.
PH should be in the higher range 6.8-8.0+-.
Some moss like Fissidens prefer cooler water to show nice pattern, so you need to plan what moss you intend to keep and their requirement.
Take care of the moss first before you introduce shrimps.

yeah, thanks, try new things lor... shrimps and guppies are different, guppies i consider myself semi pro haha... but shrimps i'm totally new.

nola, don't worry, i don't plan to change water at all for my planted tank, low tech style.... but plants grow very slow lar...
thanks arrow, means i will need to buy those measuring stuff to measure KH, GH, PH and TDS?
how do i improve those parameters if it's too low and vice versa. Thanks.

Yeah, I will let the moss grow first before introducing shrimps, now just only started a while.

on the site note, can i ask you guys, how bad can a rusted steel mesh in the aquarium affect the shrimps? shrimps are very sensitive to ferum, or cooper elements right?

Ok. That's a relief . Bro the video can't play.
