(biotopolC). my water parameters are 310-320micro siemens , 150-160ppm , ph6-6,3 is that parameters are good for breeding taiwan bee shrimp? 3-breeders prefer akadama or ada soil. i use noutral black hagen soil. can i use this soil with that water parameters? 4_ last question is this fertilizer suitable for caridina shrimps?? (if i use only 10ml or 20ml per week for 200liter aquarium) sera florena 5- what do you think abaut to buy shrimp from another country?

aquariumlover10 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I don't know the answer to questions because I've never kept cardinia, but I have to say that tank looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibikaie Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I don't know much about any of those products, and I think we use a different measuring system in the US sorry buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiji64 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I haven't been keeping TB's for that long, but my thoughts on 1,2,& 4: 1. I don't believe high watt lighting is critical for raising taiwan bees. Most mosses and some plants are fine in low light. I would focus more on keeping your tank temperatures stable and low between 21-23 C. 2. Conductivity and TDS are more general water quality measures, but don't tell you what exactly the composition of your water is. I would check if your general hardness, GH (Calcium + Magnesium ions), is in the 4-6 degree range and your KH (Alkalinity) is low / 0-2. There is a good article defining GH, KH, and pH here: 4. Sera florena does contain trace amounts of copper, but this Sera FAQ says it is ok to use with shrimp. Check the TDS after adding fertilizers to your tank to make sure you aren't pushing your TDS levels too high. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
