thank you mech means allot
as to the start of my future colony i hope to start with crystal red and i am completely oblivious as to how i should start and was wondering if you could give me any insights as to how many should i start out with and that sort of thing the only thing i do know is i want to breed ss+ or sss+
i did use a micro bacteria solution for the start up and everything spike the proper way for one i was surprised but i expected there to be a problem.
thanks mech
will the water changes stunt the cycling process, or is that my only option?
Some one please help
hi guys i just recently decided to embark on the journey to start my own crystal red and tai bee breeding system
i started cycling a tank about 10 days ago and it was completely cycled
so i added 5 cherry shrimp to test the waters so to speak
all lived and are still living i do know the parameters aren't the same as keeping the cardinal species but the water is acidic and they seem to be doing fine
there was a neon tetra in the tank and was removed
tank set up
10 gallon shrimp king tank
stock filter
stock light
fluvial stratum soil
temp.74f
ph 6.5
kh? waiting on test kit
gh? waiting on test kit
drift wood in tank
matt of moss
THE PROBLEM
i feed once every other day. and today decided to test the water for everything and my ammonia is at 0.50
nitrate 0 nitrite 0
I'm fearing a recycling of the tank and don't want to put in my first order of crystals yet.
What would you guys recommend i do i want to get the most effective set up possible to breed these shrimp
