I myself experience it Liao...so try to lessen or not disturb the soil too frequent. Once your shrimp doesn't get use to the sudden change in the water....they will feel uncomfortable and try all means to get away from the water.

Oh! Thanks bro for the advice! Is is those bubbles that are hiding in the soil that causes that?

That's a multi species of shrimps in there.

I prefer individual type keeping though.

You will have one type producing more than the other types, and fighting for food will start..espcially malayan shrimps - pretty agressive - as I noticed in a community tank. The shrimps look at each other quite differently from their perspective.

If you have same species only tank, the fight is quite harmoniously because they are one family.

I guess I am still not ready for the "high tech" setup for the rooted plants and etc as it will involve CO2 n etc right? haha..still learning for now..

Icic..haha..okie..hmm I read somewhere that says do not do WC as it will reduce the ammonia that BB will feed on..maybe its more for fish tanks and not shrimps?

Oh bro...yup I think I saw that post somewhere also..haha..thanks for the headsup!

Those shrimps are originally bought as Orange shrimps but some turn out to be Malayan I think..they are huge as compared to the rest! I just hope they won't cause serious injury/death to my smaller shrimps..thinking of taking them out already...hmmm
