ShrimpsJoy Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Tds 290 is quite high. It need about 110 - 150. If everything goes right. It will take 2-3 more months before these shrimps starts breeding.Good luckSent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griznatch Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Shrimp, especially in a new tank, need to feel secure. Without more plants or decorations for refuge, they might not breed until they feel comfortable. as you add more plants, hardscape, etc., and the tank matures, the shrimp should start breeding. PH also makes a difference. Those typically need lower PH, around 6.2 to 6.8 i think is what's recommended. I have Neocaridinas and they like the PH a bit higher.
