wyzazz Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I have CRS that I sell at $3ea. What kind of tank are you setting up? How large and what are the water parameters? How long has it been running for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcgough0930 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I have CRS that I sell at $3ea. What kind of tank are you setting up? How large and what are the water parameters? How long has it been running for? It's a fluval spec III and it's been running for over a year but I am going to rescape it before I put shrimp in it. It's at a 7.5 pH and 78°f Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 You will want to lower the temps (I keep all my tanks under 72F). What are the gH and kH of the water? I do however, have folks keeping my CRS in tap water and I keep some in remineralized RO set to Neocaridina Parameters with no issues.

Human Shrimp Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 With all due respect, if this is your first aquarium I would really recommend something like some form of cherry (Dream Blues, RCS etc.) These shrimp are much more forgiving of parameters. I am not sure, but I believe there is a black coloration of cherry as well. Also, the size of your Fluval Spec III is fairly small, which means water Parameters aren't going to be very stable. Cherries are also more forgiving in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
