my cardinals

[chungck]

My story......

I was last October in Hong Kong and bought ten of this Cardinal shrimp...after a flight including homecoming of 26 hours....I arrived in Holland without loses.....

After I put this creatures in a Aqua40 tank (30 liter ) they seemed to be happy............after a long trip...

In one week time one by one died...I didn't know what the cause was and what to do..

PH was, I think 6 at that time....It crossed my mind that PH must be at least 7,5 or 8......So I made a waterchange.....

then it came to a hold......result 2 out of 10 survived.....but didn't know at that moment.....do I have a couple...a male and a female.....

So one month goes by and nothing happend....but after a waterchange a few days before christmas......I came to a conclusion that one of these 2 shrimp got eggs....( 23th of December )....So I've got a couple in my little tank.

So...after 19 days ( 11 Jan. ) I saw some shrimplets at my sponge.....I didn't know how many.....(later I counted 15 of them )....

but after she changed her "molting" she got again some eggs.....after another 19 days I saw once more new shrimplets.........

Now it's 13th of February and this morning I saw again that these female got for the third time in 9 weeks eggs...

[infopimp]

That is a great story of survival - never give up hope!

[loveshrimp]

they will grow up healthly and sexy!

[cgw19593]

I have a somewhat related question for those on this forum. Is anyone aware of gender change in these shrimp or in any of the other freshwater shrimp in the hobby? I ask this because there are species of marine shrimp that change sex under certain circumstances.
It seems plausible that this characteristic might be found in some freshwater shrimp as well.

[retardo]

To my knowledge, this does not occur with any of the known species of fw shrimp.

[chungck]

:cheesy::cheesy: I saw this morning some new shrimplets in my little tank....

for the third time in 2½ months....it takes about 20 days each time, temp. 25,5-27 degrees...

I have already 25-28 young ones....:)

Thanks Trocado ;)
I haven't seen the "th" in the links
Shrimps of my dreams...

[Red Bee Shrimp Fan]

What substrate are you using? Arragonite, crushed coral, a blend?

[chungck]

What i am using ......normal grid......nothing special....

I have news for you fellow breeders......

I have now about 42 young ones:D ....now this morning I saw that the "Lady" is having eggs again for the 4th time.....incredible lol

Up to the 60..:D

[Red Bee Shrimp Fan]

What i am using ......normal grid......nothing special....

Hello.

What is "normal grid"? Not sure what the translation is for this? Can you share your water parameters and any buffers you may be using?

Kind Regards,

Stuart

[chungck]

Hi Stuart,

I don't use any special substrate, but only standard gravel ....and that based on tapwater....mostly PH7,5-8....i think....my parameters from 29-12-2008 was

Ph 7,2
KH 6
GH >7
N02 0
NO3 0

Less plants and more stones with little holes in it....I think for the biological culture.....

once a day one pellet for feeding is enough....not more...

[jamesbond]

hi Chungck, i already house 5 in my tank for about 2 months, but nothing happen. you are so lucky ! what kind of food you feed them ?

[chungck]

I give them only shrimpfood ( Sera ) and nothing else....

[jamesbond]

i feed them with Mosura Excel, will look if Sera is available here. thanks.

[Frank]

It´s the best to feed different food.

[jamesbond]

in fact, i also feed them with some other fish food and they accept it. matter is no breeding. I just buy some speical stone ... will put in tank tonight to see if there is any news. Thanks.

[chungck]

Hi Frank,

In the beginning I gave the couple only some spirulina ( every 3 days ) and nothing else they seems to be happy with that .....after I got some young shrimplets I gave them Sera Micron twice a week....and nothing else...

after when the group began to grow in numbers I give them ONE "staple of shrimps natural of Sera for the entire group each two days......

I see them also grazing from the rock......in my tank.....

[discusdubai]

Thanks for the update...Nice shrimps.

Youre very lucky...

[mrs fishpatrick]

Hi
your shrimp are fabulous, just a quick Q relating to the original post, are you allowed to bring shrimp with you on the airplane or do you need some special permission to import them, I am waiting for a certain type for months here in Ireland, and the thought crossed my mind to buy them back home (I am from holland ) and bring them back myself.
Thanks for letting me know
Astrid

[jamesbond]

i travel to several asia countries such as Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore ... and this is the way to take them home. I use a small plastic bottle / or you can put a nylong into a medium size can (diameter 15 cm, height 20 cm); put is some moss for shrimp to hang over it - don't put too much since moss will produce CO2 in dark, water level is about 5-7 cm, one set put max 10 species; then, deep it in your luggage ... it works.
you can try this way, if you cannot find other solution.

[krbone]

be careful, there are special rules with luggage in Aircraft through Europe since a dark event...

[mrs fishpatrick]

do you mean the no liquid over 100ml in you hand luggage?
could you not put it in the checked in baggage? I am not sure I will go this route but if all else fails.............. might drive over by ferry though:undecided

[dxiong5]

Sure, you can put it in checked luggage, but you might risk your luggage being "randomly" selected to be inspected. If they find your shrimp, they will probably toss it. Also, I think they depressurize the undercarriage of the plane where the checked luggage is stored; I don't know how this will affect the shrimp in a bottle. If you are adventurous and want to try, let us know how it goes!

[jamesbond]

sure, there is a risk ... we have to try our luck anyway. this is not 100% guarantee, but at least a possible way.
i have once put it in my hand-carry bag from singapore without any trouble.

[AquaVu]

You can't be named James Bond if you don't do this kind of dangerous things everyday;)

[loveshrimp]

okie.that's very funny. hahaa.a. jamesbond. by right singapore should not have any liquid hand carry

[jamesbond]

hey loveshrimp ... i used a special bag for this trip, that was around Last Nov. This bag is from america, i cannot remember exactly its name, seemed it is CO2 OUT. You just put little water in, no need to leave space for air.

These are Kordon Breather bags.

[chungck]

As i said , no handcarry, but luggage.....well packed in plastic bags....in a styrofoam box and between your clothes.......

[mrs fishpatrick]

Very interesting, can feel a trip back to Amsterdam coming up, the kids need to see Oma and Opa right?:D

[chungck]

@mrs fishpatrick,

I knew a adress here, were you can buy some for less....( mail me maar als je terug bent, medio half april )

[mrs fishpatrick]

@mrs fishpatrick,

I knew a adress here, were you can buy some for less....( mail me maar als je terug bent, medio half april )

I just got off the phone with my mom, she is planning on coming over to me around the end of may, might get her to buy some in Holland and put them in her suitcase, if all else fails

It will be the longest cycled tank in the world (6 months finished cycling lol)

[Gabs]

I might be going to Germany during the summer holidays...(looking forward :cheesy:).

Would I get myself in trouble if the shrimps are found in my luggage?
I mean I don't feel like risking some big fine just for trying to smuggle a couple of crystal red shrimp.

Some species of shrimp are hard to come across in my country so most of the time I buy my shrimp online. I would like to make the most of this trip to Germany and get some shrimp that are not availiable in Malta.

Any fish stores (that offer good quality crustaceans) you recommend I should visit in Germany.

And out of curiosity...How is it possible for me to know about members from Europe that I could contact using pm that are willing to sell shrimp?

[jamesbond]

Hi Mr. Chung,
i would like to know more about your tank: PH ? light ? hour light per day ? and if you till keep shrimplets alive ?
i have about 20 shriplets last two weeks ... but could only find around 5 today, not sure if it hide away or pass away.
thanks.

I have now also the Yellow cheek...bought them thursday 2 weeks ago ( 11x) and they are still alive....

Next week I wil buy some red orchid en some Harlekines.....

[jamesbond]

Thank for your info.
you use fresh water or salinity water ? what kind of filter you used ?

how about shrimplets ? let me know how many percentage you can keep them alive after one month ?

[chungck]

Hi,

Freshwater.....with some drops of liquid to get rid of NH3, NH4+ and NO2-

About my shrimplets..from the 3 early batch they survived all....no problem with it...from the last batch I saw 7 shrimplets and they are still alive...:)....let say...about 99,8%

[jamesbond]

wow ... so lucky guys. i cannot see them after 3 weeks ... just hope they hide somewhere.

[chungck]

Hi,

[Kate]

I'm really glad to read about someone doing so well with the cardinals. I just had a few arrive Thursday. Although there were some shipping issues, a couple of them seem to be doing pretty well. I've already seen one molt.

[chungck]

oke, i wish you good luck....for keeping and breeding this beautiful shrimp...

[Kate]

Thanks! I bought one as a trial last year and after a few months I felt comfortable enough to go ahead and do a few more. I'm pretty excited.

[chungck]

I have now 5 species in one aqua65-tank (size 50 x 48 x 30)...with Towuti and Sulawesi moss and some mini red cherry water plants......

I like the Cardinals and the Yellow cheeks....I have also the blue dot red line, red orchid ( 2 berried ) and the harlequin.....

I will give you some advise about the harlequin.....they are extremly stressfull..hard to keep....last friday I bought 10 harlequins....now few days later....6 died....left 4 ......so try some other species....and think twice before you want to keep the Harlequin....

[Kate]

Thanks for the info!

[Regekompis]

i want cardinals too. Do you know where they sell them in Holland??

[chungck]

Yes , I do know a place but in this forum I can't tell......perhaps by email but how?

Update...

The Aqua65 did not work out..and I replaced my group Dennerli's and Poso's to a smaller tank...Aqua40(29 litre) each species have his own tank....

Dennerli tank...16 adults....4 of them have eggs and one have already released some shrimplets....

Poso tank....I think 35 adults....five with eggs....and several had a eggspot...already.

I start to feed them 3 times a day.....crushed pellets....and with succes...there a more females with eggs and the young shrimplets grows much faster.

Hi very interesting do have a water parameter u are keeping them in? And what sort of crushes pellest did u fed them? whatever food i try to put in they just don't touch Mosura specility food,algae wafer etc.

Cause i've a 2ft

Wow...its a really great thread and also nice survival story :)

The only food my cardinals will eat is mosura excel. They don't touch the crs specialty stuff for me either.

[Abhishek]

Hi countcoco, is there any specific reason for this?
Does they accept algae waffers?

[avex30]

The only food my cardinals will eat is mosura excel. They don't touch the crs specialty stuff for me either.

Hi count hmm i thought sulawesi are more of veg eater excel contain other sea creature meat. Hmm i've try excel it was left un-touch for almost 2 days before i remove it. Now i just add a small pcs of ketapang leave in.

[chungck]

Hi again...

Cardinals wouldn't go for to the "food" like wafers or pellets...they eat separately, I feed my Poso wafers because they eat together, like crystal reds.

The clue is that Cardinals need powderfood....

The last 2 months I'm feeding them with...powderfood, selfmade....a mix of several algae shrimpfood....3 times a day...

This morning I saw several shrimplets....against my tank....on the Lava stones....still have 3 berried Cardinals....2 have already gave birth....

[cllui]

Hi,
Nice shrimp you have there...
May I know what's the TDS require for keeping Cardinal?

[chungck]

Hi,

My parameters are PH 7,6; GH 7 en KH 4...

[ntnam21]

Hi,chungck
Your shrimps is so beautiful.Can you update some new pictures? Thank you.Regard

[jamesbond]

Hi Chung, sames question, how about TDS and EC ?

[chungck]

comming very soon :D

[plamski]

Mine like to eat Mosura, Shirakura and Hikari .They eat it together in group 5-10 shrimps. Probably because I keep them hungry most of the time.I have only Cardinals with some yellow posos.

awesome tanks! may I know what substrate you guys are using?? just normal gravel? and those are lava rocks right?

Nope, I'm getting thumbnails too. Hard to see the shrimp in the small pics. :)

[Frits]

Nice shrimps!

[JEMUL]

Very nice shrimps, in a few days im getting mine also. My lava rock begins to get crowded with algea. Do you got any tips or trick for me since its my first time with this specie of shrimp. Every advice is welcome!

Greeting Jeff

[Frits]

Congratulations. Where do your shrimps come from?
some tips:
i feed them 3 times a day shrimp baby food.
use warm water for a water change.
change at least 30% once a week.

good luck!

[JEMUL]

Hello Frits, Thanks for the answer! Some off my shrimps are comming from a german breeding friend, others im gonna pick up at a local fish store. I saw 3 pieces of those amazing animals in that local fihing store. Cant let them alone in that shop so i will ad them to my german group when they are adjusted to my tank water. Why from pick te shrimps up from 2 different places? Because i think i can make a stronger group from those 2 bloodlines. Correct me if i am wrong, im here to learn :) The tank where im putting this group in, exist for over 2 years now, and have a nice bio film for the saluwesi shrimps to feed on. Thanks for the tips, but with warm water you mean around 30 degrees?

[chungck]

......with warm water you mean around 30 degrees?....

offcours not.....they would die.....the temp. in the tank is 24 degrees.....do you want to cooked them....

Temp..arround 21 degrees will do....

There is always a risk in combining two groups.
i keep mij Cardinals at 24.5 degrees Celsius and the new tapwater for the tank is the same so there is no temperature drop.

First off all thanks for the answers. About the 30 degrees; i saw much breedign results at 28 degrees. So thats why i thought 30 was good, becuase off the heat lost when filling. Anyway i will keep my aquarium at 24 degrees then. About combining the group's; isnt it possible to take the 2 groups then let one groep get ready for the Main aquarium (By the dripping methode), and the other group to the quaranteen aquarium (again the dripping methode). Then after 30 days or so, let the quaranteen groep get ready to put in the Main aquarium, again with the driping methode. In my opnion those groups will then be prepared for each different bio culture (bacteries), wich will result in realy low lose. Just my 2 cents ;)

Hope i dont ruin your topic. Tell me when i do please :P

Ontopic: ChungCK, i didnt tell you how much i admire your shrimps. They are lovely!

Ask the breeder of your shrimps his water temperature. That is the temperature you want to start with and in time you can adjust that.
When will the new cardinals arrive?
