nicpapa Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Lets talk about the white apear in crs... some questions. 1) getetic? 2) water parameters? 3) food? or 4) minerals? Quote
mayphly Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 All of the above! Soothing Shrimp and JamesHe 2 Quote
Puddles Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Yes, all of the above. BUT, having said that, I think genetics is the most important. Good genes can help make up for not using the best food or your parameters being out of whack. But if your genes are bad there is no amount of love you can give that shrimp to make him more white.

randy Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Agree with puddles. Genetics is the most important factor, others help but won't help too much positively. It's like body height, doesn't matter how much you eat or exercise, you won't grow too much taller than how you were "designed", and if you don't get enough nutrients, you won't grow to your "designed" height.

christinenha Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Wow, those boxes look really convenient for feeding! Where can I get one?? =D aquariumlover10, metageologist and shrimpfreak 3 Quote
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Hardware store. heh Look for a Parts Organizer. Homedepot has one for ~$2 I like the more vertical things if you look under small parts storage. This is around $13: Of course, if you have money to burn, this clear 60 drawer is under $30: Quote
EricM Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 not probably the best idea since some foods get stale or absorb moisture in the air (especially our humid shrimp rooms) High5's and kubism 2 Quote
chibikaie Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 I want those organizers for work!! I'm tired of remembering where the needles were squirreled away THIS week! I think you might be able to get away with very small quantities. If you look in the fishing supply area, some of the bait boxes are supposed to lock water out of the overall container, and you can always put little silica packets in each section to absorb ambient moisture. I have no idea how much those cost, though. Quote
