Heading to the city to grab some Crystal blacks . My test subjects I put in the neo tank seem ok after 10 days
@AwangAizzuddinSulongAwangSabli 9 сағат бұрын
Will temperature effect the caridina shrimp health? I live in tropical country and my neo tank is constantly 30 degrees celcius. Would like to have an opinion on this before i start keeping crystal shrimp. Great video as always mark. Keep making these video. Helpful tip i get from your videos is feeding powder food, my neos have breeding like theres no tomorrow 😂
@MarkShellyAquatics 7 сағат бұрын
Caridina are much more sensitive to temp, you really don't want really high temps. I would say 19C to 24C is the range you want to be in. My tanks are 21 to 22C because that's what I keep my house, so I honestly don't worry too much about temp, guess I forgot to mention temp. Thanks you 👍

Snowballs are just neos, same as any other neo shrimp. They will graze on it for sure, but they're likely to not make it dissappear unless you have 100s and 100s of shrimp. Actually seen them clean the glass of a tank, but that tank has 2000 shrimp lol.

@MarkShellyAquatics 18 сағат бұрын
Can be intimidating. Crystal reds would probably be an easier one to start with than the fancy tigers. Some of the tiger caidina (not fancy) are more forgiving too.

such a great video with lots of great tips. The overfeeding one hit me hard as that happened to me when I first got into caridina shrimp. I wish there's a safe way to lower the pH without using buffering soil as that can get expensive with multiple tanks. thanks for sharing with us they look great with all those babies in your tank

It's definitely a completely different way of doing tanks, so much different than the typical hard water neo setups. Took me over a year and a half to figure it out with lots of guidance from experts. Making the water is a pain, but not difficult. It takes a whole new philosophy with soft water.

But even if we use it will increase ph and make above mentioned problem, so what to do in this case? 3) how match temperature between bucket and aquarium after finishing acclimation? Thanks in advance
