Stacy1 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I have just recently ventured into the world of caradina shrimp keeping. I currently have 2 tanks running for them (fixing to set up a 3rd), and have pinto Mischlings in one and red zebras in the other. For those of you that have been in this hobby a while I pose the question: What are your MUST HAVES on hand to be set up for success. I know the basic stuff like a wide variety diet, remineralizer, an ro unit and the like, but I'm looking for things that the beginner might not think about....medications, tank additives, the type of stuff you keep now and wish you had thought about when you first started. So let's hear it. What's in your tool box! ClownPlanted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyzazz Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Marina Breeding Boxes and plenty of RO water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterJay Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I always keep some leaves to throw in, some dechlorinator, and a few gallons of RO for emergencies. Everything else I can typically get fast enough if it was ever an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
