Tank requirement for keeping crs

[SVJ]

Hi all experienced crs keepers,

Is it advisable to keep crs in a 1 ft nano tank? What would be a good tank size? Please advise. Thank you

It is alright to keep CRS in a 1ft tank but not ideal. A good tank size would be minimum 2ft. Water perimeter changes more often and drastically in a smaller tank so that might be a problem. A chiller would also be recommended.

keep in a 2ft i would say. If 1 ft better dont keep. U will see death more than new spawns.

i would recomand atleast a 2ft tank!
unless you are able to control water parameters very well if not go for bigger tanks!

Thank you for the advice. Any difference in keeping CRs and bkk.

Bkk is very sensitive to water parameters, water parameters must be in check everytime as a little spike can kill them

Thanks bro for the I infofmation. Do you mind sharing with me what are the water parameters etc... Of keeping bKk.

Thanks

err, you better start with cherries shrimps before you jump straight in rearing bkk.

Thanks

they live in the same parameters as crs, 6.0ph-6.5ph , 5-8gh , 1-3kh , 22-25degrees , 0nitrate , 0nitrite , 0ammonia ( correct me if i am wrong! )


but its best you sucessfully keeop high grades crs first before you jump into BKK as they are more sensitive to fluctuations in water parameters!

min 2ft like most bros mention here...... nano tank parameter is very very hard to maintain. Try before can't manage the parameter especially the Ph.
