All female, except no. 5 - it looks to be male

Hi there, the top one is female, bottom one male from the first picture

That is normal hygrophila polysperma a very easy plant to grow and quite undemanding

Its mayaca fluviatilis 👍🏻

Loving the Buce 👍🏻

Hi Human Shrimp, what are your water parameters in the tank? you can always look at adding some sort of tiger shrimp as they thrive in the same type of w/p as Neos does and wont breed with the cherry shrimp. i wanted to recommend, orange eye blue tigers, yet they can be quite finicky but maybe something more easy in the start like normal tigers or tangerine tigers. then there are also some very cool exotic types of snails that you can add, like rabbit or nerites for something a little different

Hi Nicpapa, Very smart tanks you have there! I have a question for you, I see you have been using quite a lot of different substrates. What have you found the best or shall I ask the most success with yet, in regards with survival rate and breeding for Caridina?

Hi Arkaedus, you can mix them all together in a tank and their offspring will be like a lucky packet as you will get a variety of baby shrimp. i have a tank like this with mischling, taiwan bee and pinto shrimp in, in my living room for the ‘show’ tank if we get friens over. I call it my smartie tank

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that crs is definitely not prl. Its either a very low quality crs (c grade) or has got some tiger genes in it. and the red eyes are quite common yes

The smaller shrimp is male yes and the larger one female, you can clearly see her saddle and yes they are both big enough to breed

😂😂😂 are you at the right place bmhater? we definitely dont eat our shrimp you tosser

Yes, taiwan bee or any other fancier shrimp like pintos, steels esc grow slower than your normal caridina like crs/cbs

Your nitrates are to high, TB shrimp are very sensitive and you should try keeping it less than 10 is there a reason why you dont do water changes?

Hi shrimpfoot, When your water comes out from your RO unit, the ph will be low due to the process that its gone through in all of the different stages and this water is still full of co2, and the reason for the co2 will make your ph low, like 6. if you let your water stand for a day or two, or aerate the water the co2 wil gas off and you should have a ph of around 7 - neutral water. it wont be the case that your ro water has a ph of 6 and aquasoil will drop the ph even further due to your ro having a ph of 6.....if that makes sense a ph of 5.3 is quite low yes, but definitely do-able with Caridina shrimp. i run all my tanks with aquasoil. 2 9L bags in around 130L of tank water and my ph stabilizes at around 5.5 ph. how long have you had the BB in this tank?

I remineralise to 135 tds and this gives me a Gh of 4.5 with blue wizard. A friend of mine gets exactly the same results use RO water with tds of 0
