bima Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Did you ever use cuttlebone for your shrimp. I read some article on the internet, cuttlebone can give more calcium for snail and shrimp, makes the color more bright and help to molt I'm interested to use it Is it will affect the water parameter too? Sory for my bad english [emoji29] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elo500 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm seen those posts too. I tried a piece a long time ago but didn't every see them touch it. Not sure if it does anything to the water parameters but had no negative effect when I tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've used cuttle bone before in my tanks. Didn't see any change in params, and the shrimp seems to eat from it. Whether they were eating calcium or micro nutrients collected on it, I don't know. Pneumonic and eozen81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bima Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I didn't think to feed the shrimp with cuttlebone. Yesterday, I crushed the cuttlebone into powder . So it can dissolve quickly to water, give more calcium to the water, so the shrimp can absorb the calcium from the shell. Do you think this is good or not?
