I scooped out 4 cups of tank water and topped up with 1.5L of water every week regardless whether there is pregnant shrimp. I usually do not have a massive water change, unless I need to replace the cotton wool and wash the media in my canister filter. That will be every quarters and I will change 3/4 of a red pail of de-chlorinated water.

Unfortunately, I do not know the parentage of the golden. I got them from a LFS. By the way, do you mean one side hino and the other side v-band is bad grade(pattern)? I thought that is called S+?
Just to sidetrack a bit, any idea what is A-S grade?

wah~~ so fast ah. I just saw my first pregnant mosura this morning. Congrats!! If we can exhange the offsprings just to exchange the genes IF we have the same quality.

Hi Bro

Nice setup, I am new to CRS keeping as well, however I did manage to saw one of my Golden pregnant 2 weeks ago, however never manage to see any offspring so far and not even teh pregnant mom.... sob sob.... not sure why....

But one thing for sure I don't use a chiller, only a fan on 24/7 temperature able to maintain between 26 to 27C

I do not have the same quality as your collection, coz the highest grade in my tank is hino.

Maybe u have to look closer into the temperature. For breeding, is 27C a bit towards the high side? I think it will be more worthy to invest in a chiller.
