PH : 6.7-7.0 ph
lighting : choosing progress (the lighting used in the photo just for testing purpose)

Hi bro here, nice to meet u all
im totally new into shrimp keeping, picture stated above is my setup and condition of 2 feet tank
plan to keep CRS and cardinal neon tetra in this setup, will my CRS able to surive?
anyways im welcome receive any opinion and comments....

Regards,
How

Tank : normal 2 feet tank with 3 side black oyama
tank size works, with or without the oyama paper.

filter : undergravel paip connected with H.O.B
not sure what paip is, but HOB should work.. i used to use only sponge filters, but have since switched to canister.

media : bio home 1 small pack + 1 pc japanese mat only
never used japanese mat before..

gravel : black silica sand
never used silica sand before but most folks here use substrate like ADA, GEX etc.

water temp : 25.7'c - max 28'c with running (7/24) 14cm fan
IMO, your water temp is on the high side.. 2-3c too high.

PH : 6.7-7.0 ph
should be fine..

lighting : choosing progress (the lighting used in the photo just for testing purpose)
maybe it's just me, but i dont see any pics.

water condition : cystal clear (but the photo taken is blur because not yet clean the glass)
'crystal clear' water is great.. but a cycled tank works best.

Plants : wish to keep java moss only at the moment since don't plat to invest into CO2 & lighting system
most moss don't require additional co2, not just java moss.

please refer to the sticky (http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=273035) for more info.

keeping fishes together with dwarf shrimps may work if your tank is heavily planted.

cheers!

Your crs will not survive together with cardinal/neon tetra unless it is densely planted and shrimplets will be fish food.
