ClownPlanted Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I may have a few CRS that will be at a good price come that time. You should already have the tank well cycled before considering adding any shrimp. Not only do of course the shrimp benefit from having a cycled tank but also the bio-film that comes with it. So its not as beneficial to speed cycle a tank using say Dr Tims one and only as sure that will cycle the tank as far as the BB you need for Amonia and Nitrite but the bio-film will not be near as ready which is so important for shrimp. So I would get the tanks going now so when the time comes in another month or two they will be good to go. You can help speed along the bio-film with products like Shrimp King Biotase active, Mosura BT-9 Multipurpose Bacteria Culture. These will help add the bacteria that help create the bio-film that the shrimp thrive on. For me the bio-film is the most important part of the tank and if you have a good bio-film you will see that any other food is not near as popular to the shrimp and they will easily graze on the film over some pellets of food. santos aluiso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
