2 berried RCS died

[HYUN007]

r ur CRS okay with 29 degrees? i am used to a fact that ideal temperature is 21-23 for CRS/CBS and that they dont like degrees close to 30 C

He has RCS and not CRS.
RCS= Red Cherry Shrimp.

For me, I think you will need to check the other water parameter.
Temperature and PH is fine.

got good news, 30+ babies hatched. now the 2 dead RCS were replaced more than 15x so happy but any suggestions as seen on the pics?

I unfortunatly have never kept RCS, but CONGRATS on the shrimplets!!!

[Wamboom]

thanks! my last count of shrimplets is 61 maybe i am wrong but its around that number. and i saw 1 little flaw, i will take a picture of him when i get a hand on a D7000. he is like deformed sideways.

good to hear that. they are rabbits after all. one female gives birth to around 15-20 babies at a time. so there, now you don't have anything to worry about.

you have a good tank there. lots of potential. tie more java moss around and let it grow dense.

[ChiefWalksInSlips]

Very interesting! try to get a snapshot of the little guy!

[Wamboom]

i was trying too every time i get a chance my cam can't take that kind of small image. the d7000 was on my GF and can't get it back yet. how i wish i could share what i see. but any suggestions what should i do with the deformed little fella? should i cull it?

[ChiefWalksInSlips]

Eeek! I'm not sure, but i doubt you would want it to reproduce.

[Wamboom]

as they are my first batch i will just keep him in another tank with some other cull and will be donated to others if they want to keep them. but as for now i will let them grow a bit so that i can net them up. and will still be constantly feeding them with algae wafers and sinking pellets and veggies of course. have anyone tried feeding them with mango leaves?
