Little help needed
I've decide i would like to have ago at hatching and raising some Amano shrimp but this is my first time at doing it so ive red load of guides and had lots help from friends over at UKAPS got my basic setups all done and shrimp separated into a hatching tank which is 20ltrs filled with water from main tank
So were i need help is getting my rearing tank setup right im going to be using a 30ltr tank filled with RO water and im adding Red Sea Reef Salt to a salinity of 1.020 im going to use a 15w light switched on 24/7 and an air driven bubble filter to keep zoes alive
Im going to leave them in the Saltwater tank for 25/40 days till ready to be conditioned to freshwater shrimp
Were im little stuck is food i need to be feeding them ive done load reserch on phytoplankton and would like to have ago at culturing my own but look like hassle at moment so ive do alod of looking for bottle food or liquad food sutable for the baby zoes
