Yes , I had them in a SPONGE FLITER aquarium with my crystal red shrimp and cherry shrimp and they slowly disappeared Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I always take a little bit of substrate from other aquariums , if you don't have any to spare I would go with just using the sponge fliter in the tank for a week to get it kicked in . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah I actually do , every single one of my tanks. Not really I've been using the same tank for 3 years using tap water and my CRS and blue bolts are still breeding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's crazy high , just give them sometime they may or may not acclimate to the ph range those shrimps preferred PH is 7-7.6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
