I introduce new member  4 tail sss and 2 ss CRS into my  Grade A CRS tank at last saturday. But today i saw got 2 new member is die. i dont know what is the reason. The old CRS is still working well and no issue.

I am curious why the new member is die ? i immediately use water test kit to determine need change or not. but it look no need . My NH3/NH4 , No2 and no3 all is 0 and PH is 7.2

Anyone have idea why my new CRS die. please comment.

one thing that i learn..
sometimes it's also important to know the parameter of their previous tank(seller/breeder tank)...
because these "hybrid" shrimp is quite fragile...
the bigger margin their water parameter changed...the more risk of death we will be facing...

p/s:
this also apply to saltwater/reef tank keeping

What's the aircond temperature you set ? How many hp aircond u use ?
Electricity bill wise ? Nice to hear that there are lots of baby shrimp  rclxms.gif
Tq
*
the reason why i use aircond because i have multiple tank in my room
planted tank and shrimp tank
using 1hp and temp set at 25
and my room is pretty small also
so it doesn't take long for the room temp to cool down
electric bill wise i think around rm20 extra per month

Wikipedia says it's algae. But slow growing tho.

it's type of algae
but not the one that shrimp can eat
shrimp loves eating soft algae
if you got yourself a hard algae
they might not even eat them

CRS ignore BBA sad.gif

Icic. Thanks bro for the explanation. Algae also good for absorbing excess nutrients in the tank right.

yup
any type of plant/algae will use the water nutrients as food

hehe, we're all learning. I have multiple shrimp food, but its rather expensive. One small bottle between RM40 to RM60+ depending on the type.

Was thinking of supplementing with kangkung from the kitchen so as to reduce costs. I did that a few times - boil a leaf for 2 minutes, then put into the tank. I observe for 5 minutes and see the shrimps were not interested.

Two hours later I come back, I cannot find the leaf. I thought maybe stuck somewhere in the aquarium since its a planted tank. Tried it twice - twice also the leaf was nowhere to be found.

I'm not sure about feeding other fresh food - whether can feed barley, broccoli and so on. And for meat, can cut a small piece of raw fresh prawn (yes the one that you eat) since I see shrimps also eat dead fish or dead prawn (yeah, sometimes they die in the tank). Anyway, just a thought.

shrimp are scavenger
they will eat any thing biggrin.gif

p/s:
good or not for their diet
they have to decide by their own

the shrimps are digging all the time lol. cant prevent that
perhaps i should cut down the water change period gap
maybe change water every 5 to 6 days

soil with ugf setup
or just soil?
