bima Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Sory for my bad english [emoji16] I have two blue velvet shrimp tank, the first is nano tank and second 60cm tank. In my big tank the baby shrimp grow up and loss the blue color turn to light green. In nano tank the bv color still good. I take bv from the nano and put it to big tank. They are loss the blue color too. Help me Nano tank use only tap water TDS 110 . Food tetra bits complete for discus Big tank use same tap water TDS 110 with mosura mineral plus set to 170 . Food ista shrimp food Sorry i just have TDS meter lol Is it because the mineral or the food. I read article on google that some food can change the color shrimp.

bima Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I thought PH GH KH parameter just make shrimp color more solid or stronger. Not to make change the genetic color. Is it true? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyana Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Shrimp will loose they color some if they're stressed. So testing other perimeters will help see if something else is off that they don't like. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bima Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 So that my shrimp stressed from baby to adult. It running about three month. But they breeding normally, from 20 adult, now more than a hundred little shrimp maybe. Very confusing Need the water test kit asap [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyana Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 You could also try not using the minerals in the big tank and see what happens if all tests come back normal. Not sure why that would make them loose color but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Try same food first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Losing color does not always mean water parameters are off. It could mean other things too. Once I added too much H2O2 in the tank and my cherry shrimp lost their red color. It could be something your adding to tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 My question is why are you adding Mosura Mineral to the big tank? If the smaller tank is just tap water and the blue is fine in that tank I would just stop dosing the minerals and see if they get their blue back.

bima Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 This week i stop dosing the mineral. Water change with tap water. But not try to reduce the tds and use food same as the nano. It seems the blue color is back , but not all of them change, maybe wait for a couple week. Still don't know what cause it, i think there is nothing strange what i put to my tank. My yellow shrimp tank doing well with same setup. do i need to reduce or increase the tds? How many tds is recomended for neocaridina, i know neocaridina can survive with a wide range tds, but every breeder must have their best set of tds Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 You can keep neos in TDS 100-300 easily. I have some neos in my TB tank at TDS around 150 another tank is about 300 then my tank at work is around 215. my Tank at work is breeding the best I have about 6 berried right now.
