btw was wondering how's ur crs doing in ur tank?

My CRS & CBS is the hardiest of all my shrimps and they are fat and juicy now. Now beginning to think my tank is good for CRS and they are such a doll. I have difficulty with tiger & orange shrimps though. Tiger give birth and died or they died of molting or whatever reasons I do not know. Especially the one with the red stripes. Black stripes still quite sustainable.

wow, what's the temp of ur tank?

Always kept between 26 - 27. Warmest should be reaching 28 and I get sweaty if it reached 28.5 but quite unlikely nowadays. Coolest (rainy days at night) should be 25.5 to 26 which made them very still (like sleeping). My fan & filter is switched on 24/7 and never switch off before....hmmm. I make a habbit to take stock everyday to ensure no casualty and if there is one out of the blue I will quickly extract the dead body. There was once I saw a fresh water mantis (an inch long) and brought it out immeidately. Quite scary must be from the water plant I bought and yesterday saw a worm 5 inches long.
