Hi Costi8......good to see a shrimp tank that is beautifully planted with a very natural layout...Is this a low tech setup or are you infusing C02...?

[adrianng1996]

nice CRS forest :)

[cllui]

Very nice setup man...

Hi Costi8......good to see a shrimp tank that is beautifully planted with a very natural layout...Is this a low tech setup or are you infusing C02...?

certainly has a small fault and ADA substrate.
Yes I and CO2 1/3sec, do not use fertilizer.

[costi8]

Here is some of my presentations for shrimp seem pretty happy, but refuses to reproduce.

Cool tank! I loves small tanks very much
Do you have any chiller to keep temperature low?

[koji™]

I love the scaping. Very cosy feel.:)

[2Toned]

Yes, I agree... the scaping is very natural and cozy. It looks inviting. And I love your plant selection... mainly bryophytes.

It's a shame your shrimp are not cooperating. I found temp the biggest issue for breeding: too low and they don't berry, too high and the shrimplets don't survive.

Good luck, Tony

[costi8]

thank you because you like scaping
now looks like this:

Thx Chris

[nanoQuaria]

Very nice tank, Costi8. What's the water temperature in your tank?

[kenny75]

Very nice tank!
I like your harscape!

[costi8]

Costi...can you please provide a list of plants that you have used....??

Thx Chris

with the greatest pleasure:

Blyxa Japonica
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Ricca fluitans
Bolbitis heudelotii
monosolenium tenerum

I hope we have forgotten any


Very nice tank, Costi8. What's the water temperature in your tank?

My aquarium temperature is 23 ° C

[costi8]

if you do not bother too much, below I'll show some other image and my aquarium, where we Shrimp Caridina japonica (Amano Shrimp), Red Cherry Shrimp, Bamboo Shrimp Crystal Red shrimp and some do not manage to say move to catch aquarium dedicated to them .. shrimp in my other aquarium live together in one place and rasbora rodostomus.

if I was wrong post, ask an administrator to alert me ..
are new to this forum and still do not know all the rules.
Thank you.
aquarium 250 liters

The right side of this tank looks absolutely perfect!

What is the name of the stem plant in the 3rd picture?

What are the parameters of the crs tank where you are having issues with reproduction? Also, how many crs are currently in the tank?

[koji™]

I personally love the right side of the tank's back but the right's front.:)

[costi8]

The right side of this tank looks absolutely perfect!
thanks



What is the name of the stem plant in the 3rd picture?


Rotala sp. 'Mini' – Type 1




What are the parameters of the crs tank where you are having issues with reproduction? Also, how many crs are currently in the tank?

I have a total of 12 shrimp in aquarium
last test looks like this:

KH - 2
NO2-0
PH - 6.7
1. what tests should be a keeper in my aquarium?
2. which are the best parameters for reproduction?
3. What do you think? would need to go with CO2 injection? I now CO2 1 bubble / 3 seconds

[adrianng1996]

nice healthy tank..but rotalas arent ment to be put infront
i think would be better if you replace the rotalas with Blyxa japonica and let the carpet plant grow further :)

[countcoco]

Thanks for the plant ID ;)

You should purchase a gH test kit, an NO3 (nitrate) kit and a TDS meter (total dissolved solids).

Here are the parameters my crs seem to reproduce the best in:

pH 6.2-6.6
gH 4-5
kH 0-1
TDS 120-180

Yours look pretty good though. I'm guessing that your TDS is probably well over 200, which will slow down breeding.

can you give some details about TDS ..?
from where? from what I read I had it all dissolved solids in water.
and decreases as the amount of TDS? by what method?

[jorge_]

Fissidens fontanus are a dificult moss of geting in that stage of developing?

[nanoQuaria]

I think one can place rotala, or any other plant(s) for that matter, wherever one wants in one's own aquascape - the fish wont care. If one likes it, that should be more that enough, as long as the plants and the animals are healthy and thriving.

[Varez_6]

Hi,

Love your fissidens fontanus "ball". Healthy...

[costi8]

ready .. and I finally have four puppies by CRS,
why the birth rate is so low? and where they stayed hidden until now I could not see them?

[CrystalMethShrimp]

Hi costi,

I had my crs in a tanks with co2 before. They reproduced slowly.

In my new tank I removed co2
I use Ada soil with ph 6.4
My temp is stable at 22 degrees
I added a double sponge filter which I hear will increase baby survival rate
And I bought an eheim filter which now gives them 10x more bacteria.
And feed them shirakiku baby food.

Now my population has doubled in a 7 gallon tank from 52 to well over 100 in 2-3 months.

[Fidelity]

great looking tank, wish i can do the same..
