Thank you very much Anna! Very good to hear this!

I think I'm not going to try to breed these snails, as it almost seems to be impossible! Then it's better to put money on new shrimps or something Thanks for info again!

Caridina babaulti

Hi I use a lots of micro fertilation and that's ok with my RC. I can't belive it would hurt. Al micro fertz. almost contains the same number of chemicals. I use ProFito and dose more than recomended, also I have Tropica Plantsubstrat.

It would be very strange if they reacted on it!

Thank you very mych! :)

Just what I thought. But then they aren't "impossible" to breed ;) It's like with Amanos and Neritinas, but I'm not that skilled to sucess.
I guess they also lay their eggs above water?

Mine have always been in freshwater and they seems to do well too. I don't know if it ...

Any one who can tell me something about it? What should the water paraments be? How so I do to breed them? What do they ...

There is no "blue C. babaulti" in the hobby. It's a myth created by someone in Germany who has no idea about shrimp but a high profile. In fact, the green shrimp is not C. babaulti either. It was described as "Caridina cf. babaulti" because it looked almost like a C. babaulti under the microscope ...

I most have plated tanks and that's what I know things about! =)
I've got lots of BBA couse of uncontrolled CO2 or too low CO2. I've also seen amanos eating black hair alges (BBA).

Hello! =) I'm new here.

Maybe it's not avalible outside our contry, but if you know what I mean, it's a good food

Amano shrimps eats black hair alges.

If you get these you have too low or unstabil CO2 value. To make it right you have to put more CO2 into your water by: lower surface circulation, if you hace pressured CO2 then put on more CO2 into the tank.

Black hair alges don't have much to do with the ...

Thanks for these fast answers! =)

I use JBL's tests and 1ppm NO2 was the highest amount on the scale in my test, 10ppm sounds very much!

To morrow I'll do a 50% water change and add Zeolith to my little filter, too make all N "dissapear".
It's not just a shrimp and snail tank, I also have it as ...

I've started a 24l/6g tank 2 days ago. In the weekend I'm going to buy some Red Cherry shrimps and put in it. Later I'm also going to put some kind of C. babualti in the tank together with the other shrimps.
Now it's around 1ppm NO2, is that a too high amount for shrimps? Of course I'm goind to do ...
