Bettarazzi Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 @Ness you can't be all that hungry if you're thinking of eating those teeny weeny shrimp. Expensive taste in food too. Aren't CBS worth more than their weight in gold? LOL I keep killing cherry shrimp as well. Don't know what the issue is. I really think we need a full tank shot.

Matt_95 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Cherries are easy, I found a giant female in my african tanks filter before I had even owned them, must have come in with a fish as a baby and lived in the filter, tank was around 20ppm nitate to.

Neffy Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think my problem is i have sand and its gone all green and ugly looking otherwise i have no idea i have a sponge filter going & they are the only things in the tank except for some small snails which ive been slowly removing.

zhong89 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Beautiful shrimp!!! You know I was considering starting a little side project (either crystal shrimps or discus) you're really tempting me towards shrimps. I have cherry shrimps but they don't seem to breed very well... I really need look into it. But really considering looking into crystal, do you mind me asking how much you paid for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tap water is 7.2 - 7.4. Maybe that's the issue. But paulman who lives 5 minutes down the road has millions of them. I dunno. Anyway, doesn't really matter. If I make room for shrimp that will mean less room for bettas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_95 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 "razzi, do you keep RCS or CRS? RCS like harder water, your ph should be fine. For CRS the parameters listed are what you need :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it the waiting game for them to hatch. And if the shrimplets survive finger cross as this is my first time that ive kept shrimps Cheers Pic coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
