Yes you are lacking plants in your 30g man..thats very empty space we are looking. By the way, are those PVC pipes? do note that some do have poisonous resin release which can potentially harm shrimps.

Thanks, I found the problem, I have 1 week shrimplets now usually they didn't last 3 days.
The problem was to little or non microlife, spirulina powder and green water with lot´s of microlife (after 2 weeks in the sun) and problem solve. No issues with pvc or plants. Thanks!

I would agree with that . The first time i see my babie's they are on the side of my tank grazing on the light algea growth . Till then they stay under the moss or in the java moss which is full of infusoria .

Hi, do you mean you age the tank water with the spurlina powder in the sun for 2 weeks then add it to the tank? Hmm very interesting.

Also what I've done was use a mini breeding tank attached to the inside of my tank with an airstone. Added tons of moss and allow to age for 2 weeks till covered in algae. Then I use it as a nursery. This way I can also keep track of the survival rate.

Hi Crystal...your post 101 and 202 are great!!! thanks for sharing that!
I have lots of shrimplets now and more to come.

I have done 2 thinks basically, donno wish is better, but I will keep doing it.

1- Water from my aquariums (discus) in 2 litter buckets or similar, 1 or 2 weeks in the sun, green water and microlife (the water is from the water change). Then into the CRS aquarium. Works great!.
2- Once a week, water change 20% 50% (CRS Aquarium 120 lt), my tap water is great for CRS and Discus (KH 2-3 GH 5-6, PH 6.5), prefilter of activate carbon and drops of seachem prime. Then in a small bucket I put: 1 pinch of spirulina, 1 pinch of mineral, 1 pinch of baby food shirakura and 1 pinch of hematococus pluvialis (astaxantine). Mixed with a little water and into the tank.

That is what improve my CRS survival rate to almost 100%.
