GREENHORN on shrimpkeeping :)

15-02-2012, 04:38 PM

Hi all,

Just started out shrimps keeping. Below are the conditions of the Shrimps.
Please advise if you think i have did anything wrong. Thanks

Shrimps -10 Sakuras, 7-8 sakuras shrimplets , 3 CRS and 1 Rili.
Tank Size - very very small, 20 cm x 15 cm? i think
Live stocks - 3 of them, some are growing little greens
Temperature - 2 Fans - Day time 27+ degree / Night time 23 Degree
PH test kit - about 6.0 to 6.5 (just added a star moss hopefully it will increase to 6.5-7.0 Range)

Have no kit to test Nitrate/Nitrite, ammonia and GH. need to buy?

Sakuras and shrimplets has been for around 1 week.
Added in CRS and Rili for 3rd day now. They seems pretty stress when first introduced into the tank, i believe it gotta do with my lousy skill of climatizing it properly.

I have a question, temperature is fluctuating between morning and night, the temperature change is quite drastic, is it okay?

Thanks!!!

bro, i would suggest u remove the star moss. if i'm not wrong, it wouldn't last more than 2 or 3 mths, which may add on to ur nh3/nh4 when it start to rot.

correct me if i'm wrong.

I have star moss too in my tank. Maybe I should consider moving it too. Think it's been there for 3 months already.

My shrimps seems to like it alot.. always on it.
Maybe i should look at signs on when the star moss starts rotting?

Any body can answer this question? temperature is fluctuating between morning and night, the temperature change is quite drastic 22 to 27, is it okay?

Should be okie for your sakura but not for long term. I see Crs you will notice their colour start fading after sometimes. Meaning they are getting stress might encounter unknown death. Is best to keep the temp steady maybe 1-2 different.

Hi, I'm new with shrimps too

Just want to ask how does your fan setup look like? Or is it literally a fan blowing at your tank? Can share a pic?
