specially when you have hundred in the tank
i can stay there observ them for 15 to 20 min
dont call me crazy

i really want to know the PH of
- the output of your R/O unit
- your tap water

do not make any sens e to me.

i setup tank like that so many time , it is hard for me to reach 7.
what is the maintenance of your R/O unit ?

about the temp, my temp is close to 23~25 usually in my tanks, because i dont like the hot temp, and found it is more easy to raise the temp than lower it :) and i found the fish more healthy , and when i have special requierement i raise the temp. and i see in the varieties species that most of sub...

Hey Zap! Incase you ever want more tigers Big Als near point claire has a tank full of healthy ones. Cool to see another montreal area person here :) Hi lullaby, where di you go there i think i took all their tiger already, or they receive some other :) fishgeek, you are rigth bee varieties ie crs/...

i am in the process of making a list of shrimp who will be easier for me to keep with the water i have. so if someone more expert can give us a hand :) that's will be great. Hi guys, You might want to go through the shrimp varities page and read the profiles. I have added water parameter informatio...

In my experiences, 4 or 5 gallon is very hard to breed since the water parameters change very easily. Frequent water changes are more necessary instead of the 10 or 20 gallon tanks. So far I did not manage to breed shrimps in 5 gallon tanks but I do have some that have died (especially the young on...

first of all
cory and tetra will most probably eat any shrimplet , so if you want to breed shrimp , forget about fish in there tank.


here is a good link to start with : http://www.petshrimp.com/shrimpspecies.html

sorry to piggy back a question into this thread i too like zapisto have dwarf's and am interested in which shrimp species will be most suitable for soft waters at present i have cherry and bee i was looking at mostly bee relative ie crs etc are they any specific hardness/alkalinty levels that are t...

Ahhh...I see, then you should do very well with the tiger shrimp. :) You can actually go down to PH 5.5 with Tiger shrimp (and probably even a little lower). By the way, I love both south american and african dwarf cichlids and have kept and bred a few myself before. I am not surprised at all that ...

My bad
i forget check , stupid me ....

thanks for the answer anyway.

Let go i will probably learn something. when the molted , what is the best thing to do ? remove the old skin laying at the bottom of the tank or let them there ? i dont know if the shrimp will get rid of them or if i have to remove them when i do water change ? and what is the frequence a shrimp hav...

You're probably right. I do have alot of plants in there and a coconut hut with java moss on it that they could crawl into the edges of. no matter what hiding place you have the betta will snack them one after one. i am new in shrimp but i am not new with fish, and let me tell badflash give you the...

Bonjour, With small shrimp like your Tigers it does not matter... think of them as tetras or schooling fish were sex ratio does not matter. :-D TKD hi it is not problem of matter just a case of study :) when i am doing something i usually go deeper then general :) for now i am beginner so i cannot ...

as i say before i am a breeder of apistogramma.
with apistogramma the temp/PH impact on the sex ratio.

what will be the parameters who impact shrimp sex ratio if any do ?

My only concern is that you just got red cherry shrimp and have not gathered enough experience with them yet . I would not rush to quickly into keeping other species, especially ones that need special water parameters like the tiger shrimp, as you are bound to experience disappointment when your sh...
