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.

The weather is still pretty cold these days so my shrimps damn enjoy.
Plans not fixed yet on how to cool it down during summer. Most likely using fan again.


That's pretty gross.

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

Yeah I had a major bout with wriggly stuffs (nematodes, planaria, leeches, seed shrimps you name it) too earlier on but now my tank is 90% free of the stuff

if u manage to kill a large colony of then congrates to you. Luckily mine was in cycle stage so I can decided to gave up.
Detritus worm is said to benefit the soil so its better to let them live but they will start crawling on tank wall when the r lack of oxygen supply. I still can't stand them, just imagine when u enjoying shrimp view n they block ur fungshui view on the tank glass :s

Worm only ma bro... Dose salt n nuke em...

tis is a good temporary solution thank you but I gv up oredi. Funny hor while cycling I never really fed my rasbora, it was like 2 days satu pallet. yep one tiny betta pallet. I guess anykind of creatures you wil find in soil substrate. Im not saying its a bad thing for hvg them infact lots of shrimp hobbyist closed one eye on them. Its just me n my phobia lol sorry

Your tank worm problems, so far the first time i see it during cycling, are you using recycled soil ?
All my tank i only saw shrimp cos worm need underneath the soil.

this I really dunno la sifu Arrow. I bought this soil is prepacked wan. I asked the taukeh he said that was ADA soil Rm15 so I just beli, really dunno if it was recycled one or not.

Hi all, newbie shrimp keeper checking in. Got hook with dwarf shrimps after getting some malayas from arrow sifu initially to solve my algae hair problem on my planted tank. now keeping my tank simple and focusing on shrimps only. added some nice fire yellow from mr. arrow and i can stare at them for hours! haha. anyway, hope to learn more about shrimp keeping here.

anyone know where to get in klang?

It's been almost 3 weeks and my berried shrimps are still status quo... no shrimplets yet. How come so long? Temperature?

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.

Walau... so small how to see?

use magnifying glass , easy to spot.

Over the weekend, I see one of the berried shrimps got only 2 eggs left in the saddle and she just molted a couple minutes ago with that 2 eggs on the molt

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

A lot of possible hiding spots but I didn't spot any till now. And it should'n't be stress. No one's around during the weeked. Water quality everything.. even past couple weeks I do daily 2% water change with drip somemore. TDS didn't vary for more than 3 degrees.

lol yes...i see my shrimps tummy so big...but cant see got eyes...if a week after got white shrimplets then i know its from them.
