Soothing Shrimp Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 How's your shrimp doin'? Still have any around or did they all kick the bucket? I know you were having challenges with the nanos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosspearl Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Going to keep track of my tank params here as I get back into testing routines with the goal of getting some shrimp later this year. Not aiming high... just some red cherry shrimp...even culls would work. My goal is to keep them alive longer than 6 months and get them to breed.

mosspearl Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Had some extra time tonight since my computer was fighting a virus. ::cough cough::: Hopefully it's gone now. Anyway, I did TDS, KH and GH on my tanks. 10 gallon: TDS 582 KH 2 GH 15 TruAqua: TDS 370 KH 12 GH 13 (tank has cuttlebone in it) Evolve8: TDS 220 KH 7 GH 8 (tank has cuttlebone in it) It's a start.

slycat929 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 TDS of 582 is pretty darn high, even for neos. I would try to lower that to around the 300 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosspearl Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks. No shrimp in there yet, just some fish. I'm prepping for future shrimp. Not sure if they'll ever go in that tank or not, but it could work for culls if nothing else. Had to get a baseline so I need to know where to go from here.

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yepper. Need to lower gh and TDS for shrimp, but you already know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosspearl Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'll take out the cuttlebone. Had it in there for the snails. It's a start. Have to do water changes in the 10g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
