Hi guys,

Newbie here. Would these be a good buy to start a small shrimp tank? Got it from lelong.com.
Any better deals/ products?

BORNEOWILD SHRIMP SOIL (8kg) x 1 (RM113)
BORNEOWILD Shrimp supplement - Minerax x 1 (RM49)
BORNEOWILD Shrimp Conditioner - HUMIC x 1 (RM53)
BORNEOWILD Shrimp Supplement - VIGOR x 1 (RM64)
BORNEOWILD BACTER CRYSTAL x 1 (RM46)

Also, I plan to put the tank at a shaded spot on the balcony. What kind of shrimps would be suitable assuming the temperature is going to fluctuate quite a bit between day and night?

Borneowild product quite ok as they copied benibachi formula +-
-The 8kg soil will be enough to setup a 2ft tank.
-From your planning, only neocaridina type of shrimp is suitable, and your tank may have problem with green water and algae if under sunlight.
Algae is good for shrimps , just unpleasant as display tank but green water is not preferable unless you gonna breed malaya shrimp larvae.
-You can skip the Humic and Vigor since your tank is not gonna house CRS type shrimp.
-Just get the soil , minerax and bacter crystal.
- Put bacter crystal on tank bare bottom , put a thin layer of soil around 1cm , then put minerax , after that cover with the rest of the soil.
The above is base on the stuff you listed.

Any budget and what your ideal tank size?

Thanks Bro Arrow,

Budget wise, Rm300 would be comfortable with a 1-2 ft tank.
Anyway to reduce the greenish water? Some fish/ rocks/ filters to clean?
It would look ugly and I want to look at my shrimps clearly!!!

Any recommendation of some nice Neocaridina shrimp easily available here?
