He swapped some shrimp with another friend whom also have succes breething but still no luck in his own tanks. He has Kept a close eye on the parameters. MS/US 200. Ph. 6.3 temp. 23 celcius. They all get a variant og CFS and shrimp king. And he has tried. raising the temp. no luck. Moving them to a fresh setup tank. No luck. Adding fresh shrimp. No luck. Adding Borneo wild dance. No luck. Does eany og you guyes have eany idea to start op the breathing again...? Sorry for the spelling.. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpfreak Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I can't quite remember what it is called but this happens in old tanks maybe someone else knows more about it. In Japan the breeders switch tanks and start knew ones a lot because of this. Sorry I couldn't be of more help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I think others will get low times of breeding. I don't know why it would not start again if he does a new fresh tank. Maybe just time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesHe Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 What's substrate he is using? What type of shrimp he is keeping? How big is the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Crown Aquatic Trade Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 When I read the first sentence my first thought was " shouldn't you be calling for help or giving your friend CPR instead of posting on Shrimpspot!!!!" shrimpfreak, RyeGuy411 and Shrimpie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrich Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Spelling can be quiet a promblem for me sometimes. Even in my own language but i must admit that was quiet a funny misspell.. For soils he use ada soils and akadama. The shrimps. Pinto. KK. OEBT. Royal blue. Tibbe + a couple more. I bought his mishling f1 and they startede breading in my tank but not in his tanks. The tanks range from 25 Liters to 128 Liters. Pretty sure they are all not the same sex. Then all off the males or females would have died since they have bread before. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 That is odd indeed. My suspicion would be on the source water, or an airborne contaminant. I would also wonder if there has been a season change. I know in North America a reduction in breeding occurs often in the fall and winter, even if the shrimp are indoors.
