Hi Everyone,
I personally own BKK, CRS, CBS, Golden Bee and Fire red, but today only Fire red and few CRS leave :cry:. Maybe too hot in NY or I don't know:undecided.

Never Mind, I am posting this new thread because i try to refresh my brain or start it over again.
Hopefully, it will help.

Over this weekend, i will clean up my shrimp tank, and re-build 4pcs new shrimp tank with size 33 Gallon Long 48x13x12 inch, each tank divide to 4pcs. Mostly like the picture. Please attactment
4626

Please give suggestion for below tanks setting:
The water condition for First and Second Tanks are connecting, so the water condition is same.
First Tank - I will put BKK, Wine Red, Blue Bolt
Second Tank - I will put CRS/CBS
*100% RoDi Water "will not mix Tap water" - Ph should be around 6.0
*I will use Chiller to keep water condition around 74F
*Fluval Shrimp Stratum Substrate
*Plant and wood undecided yet
Question:
What is the best water condition to keep them alive BKK, Wine Red, Blue Bolt
CRS and CBS (PH, KH, & GH & degree F/C)?
Want to know Fluval Shrimp Stratum substrate is good or should i use other substrate?

Third Tank - Will be Yellow Shrimp, Fire Red, Red Rili & Blue Rili
*100% RoDi Water "will not mix Tap water" - Ph should be around 6.0
*I will use heater when cold or turn off when summer.
*Fluval Shrimp Stratum Substrate
*Plant and wood undecided yet
Question:
What is the best water condition to keep them alive Yellow Shrimp, Fire Red, Red Rili & Blue Rili
(PH, KH, & GH & degree F/C)?
Want to know Fluval Shrimp Stratum substrate is good or should i use other substrate?

Im not sure but have some golden yellow separated from my yellow and its looks like some of yellow offsprings can have golden strip on back but far as I know they same species and live in same water conditions but some experts from forum may give you more information
