bima Posted May 17, 2015 Report 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
Elo500 Posted May 17, 2015 Report 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
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 18, 2015 Report 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. eozen81 and Pneumonic 2 Quote
bima Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report 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? Quote

bima Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 Sorry guys, i'm lack of water test kit lol. I just add 1/8tsp cuttlebone powder after 20%wc in my 70ltr tank. So let wait what happen with the shrimp [emoji16] I do this to 4 shrimp tank, same size. Yellow, blue pearl, black choco, and red fire. Love the neocaridina. There has been no negative effect Quote
