anybody know whee can i get salty shrimp (bee shrimp)??
seem aquashop at lelong already out of stock

thats the thing lo. i only need a bit only. hahaha

arrow

can neocaridina live and breed in caridina shrimp water condition
from my understanding
their GH is a little bit high right??

p/s:
plan to use salty shrimp bee mineral

Actually its not a Tiger Grade C. I don't think Tigers are graded that way. But I think the ordinary Tigers (which I have) have not gone through selective inbreeding which leads to the higher grades. Tigers have higher grades too - such as Blue Tiger and Orange Eyed Blue Tiger which I know are very high grades. but they are still from the same Caridina Cantonensis.

Here's pic of the Tiger.

No I don't at the moment, because I'm still building up my population and many are still juveniles (only 1 cm). But eventually I will have and will PM you. If you want it now, you can get it from aquacult on lelong. Actually I bought my Tigers from him and he has a wider variety. He breeds them, and he have many varieties, even the high grade ones which I dare not buy.

And actually I spoke too soon. I just went down and saw my CBS is indeed berried

The berried females are always hiding during the day, so I guess that's why I never see any berried CBS/CRS. I need to look harder at nights with the lights off. 

Thanks. And yes, that's MC in the foreground.

Btw, we can swap too. Let's take this to IM.

Yes, I am injecting CO2 and ferts. This isn't a good thing for shrimp breeding because everyday my PH swings from 6.7 to 7.2/7.3. You know once CO2 starts, the PH goes down.
This PH swing is disliked by sensitive shrimps - maybe one of the reasons why my CRS takes so long to finally berry. But I can't help it as breeding is not my main objective. I need the plants to be healthy.

I think better to use low tech tank. What's your setup? Especially what's your water temp?

Nice!! You have a magic touch..

Need advise here. I recently started with a very small 2 gallon tank with both crystals and cherries. The crystals are doing well, but the cherries are dying one by one, especially the larger ones. My water parameter are:
- ammonia 0
- nitrite 0
- nitrate <10
- gh 4
- ph slightly below 6.5 (am using ista 5.5)
- tds 160
- temperature 25c-27c with cooling fan
I did a lot of research which suggest that crystal are supposed to be more sensitive. However, I can't understand why my cherries are dying instead. Now I'm left with 2 medium sized and 1 small cherries.

I suspect the main cause is the low gh. Or maybe the larger cherries find it more difficult to adapt to the water parameter in my tank. Or maybe even the ph is too low.

Any advice or views?

Yes, thanks all. Did WC in the morning. By afternoon, I bought another filter and put in only carbon media. Setup a hospital tank with 50% tank water and 50% filtered water. Moved some of the shrimps there. Most survived but a few still died.
Lost many cherries, a few CRS, a few Tigers. No Yamato deaths, but they are very still and not eating any more. Very annoying episode.
Will continue with WC tomorrow. Expect some more deaths, but lesser in comparison to day one.
Not sure whether it is the super glue or some pesticide on the plants. Even at Pets Mart 88, the guy there said can use super glue to attach fissidens. Later I will setup a test tank to find out for sure whether super glue is harmful to a shrimp tank.

Edit: It may be not the super glue. Too many folks are saying it is safe even in shrimp tanks.

It may be the plants I got from the shop was laden with pesticide. I will find out for sure when I test it later.
