bro, Benibachi is the only one in japan that have his own shrimps farm.
see here

aarow Benibachi shrimps farm, is that giving you a hint? ....

Hey guys, anyone here wanna post some nice pics of your shrimp tanks or shrimps here? Can spice up this thread a bit.. Come come don't be shy

I'm sad.. it seems like another round of dying spree going on in my tank. Got one death last week and now another one.

Dunno why

I wonder is it bcs your tank is too small to maintain the water parameter?

No idea.... it's stable for quite a while. Then last 2 weeks this hppened.

Another one just dropped dead. Bloody hell.

Just added some prime and charcoal just in case.

This sucks

Perhaps something other than your water parameters are killing your shrimps i.e. airborne pollutants? Tested your water parameters?

Yup.. Ph no change, Kh no change, Gh up 1 degree since 2-3 weeks ago, ammonia/no3/no4 all undetectable, TDS stable.

this happen after you change water ?
U use tab water ? Chorine ,metal phosphate may be the cause.your photo for shrimp why environment like so clear. It stay at plastic bowl ?

I use RO water and even with that I put small drop of prime.

I removed the dying shrimp and put it inside paper cup (photo)

U put RO water also die ? Erm . Fully ro water ? Is your tank recycle before ? Or is the shrimp workimg well pass few month or is a new introduce shrimp into tank ?

That's why bengang. The tank running is cycled and the shrimps were around for months without deaths.

I have A grade shrimp tank right now, i plan to go for SSS grade shrimp but worry about the SSS grade CRS tolerate water parameter level as it will more fragile. Any thing i need pay attention before introduce SSS grade shrimp . please advice

I'm also a newbie in keeping CRS currently only have S/SS grade. I guess if your grade A CRS are doing well in your tank, SSS should do just fine if your parameters are right. Mind to share your current water parameters? You may need to check out the TDS difference before introducing them into your tank, use drip method for longer period with airstone during acclimatization if there's a huge difference (learned this from sifu arrow ). There are many contradicting advice as some said TDS 100 and below is best for CRS and other said higher 150 - 200 is ideal. Mine is around 160 so far so good. Also, do make sure you refrain from kacau your tank too much like putting your itchy hand inside (contamination), never stirred up the soil, don't overfeed and they should be fine. Some people also use slow drip method during weekly water change, and remineralize their RO water to TDS 150 before putting them into the tank as CRS is very sensitive to water change. BTW, why not start with some less expensive SS first before trying out the SSS? They should be the same in terms of hardiness albeit the difference in patterns.

Anyone here interested to get some Malaya shrimps? Want to give away mine for FREE. I've got around 11-12 tails. Self pick up. Let me know guys..

location?

If not mistaken u r using a paper cup to top up water everyday? Could it because the paper cup u used? There is a layer of wax, maybe the vendor change to different material(wax) which release toxic to the water?

Hmmm... maybe.

Think I'll change to plastic.

My ph is 7.2 ,gh =3 kh=0 and temperature is 24
