a general feed would be hikari algae wafer...otherwise there are many brands of feed mainly for crs, to choose around...

is it the one selling in a package together with the mosura mineral plus?? If yes then i agree its quite good. I changed 4 types of feed before settling on this one, which my shrimps are most responsive with.

I am using this one too, it is good, no more oily film on water.

Hi! newbies here.

Would like to know when the shrimp give birth, is egg form or small baby? don't know anything about shrimp. Because I saw my shrimp pregnant, but, after one month, nothing came out. Some of them said the fish might has eaten up.

hi my shrimps dont seem to eat the food i give to them and would like to try mosura shrimp food..my question is does anyone know where i can get them in the east cos ive been to several shops and they don sell them thanks

1. What is the water parameter required by CRS?
CRS can adapt to and survive in wide range of pH. The optimal pH range is around 6.3 to 6.8 to show the color well. GH is best keep at around 3 to 6 dH. Nitrite(NO3) best kept within 25ppm.

What is the best method to control these parameter? By chemical? Advice anyone. Thanks.

Btw, how can we measure the current parameters?
