Got setups done for trying to breed shrimp. My 9yr old twins wanted to start a business to make extra $ so we are trying shrimp.

Good luck!
 
Nice !
Let us no the secrets of sucess if any, I don't have much luck with shrimps, they just disappear into thin air.
I will. I'm doing hours of research each day.
These are also species only tanks. So won't get eaten by anyone.

Same here, I just have one ghost shrimp left so I plan on changing their tank into something else.
 
Below are some results from tap and 3 tanks.

I will be watching and thanking mesuments regularly so we will see.

I am trying to stay as close to my water yet achieve healthy colony. If fluval stratum doesn't lower ph and kh enough in tangering tiger tank I may get DI or RO water.

All tanks 74 right now. It's a warm day I know I'm shooting for 72. I think

Tap water
Ph 8.3
TDs 441
Gh 12
Kh 7

FYI FLUVAL STRATUM has only been in tanks for 2 days and all have large almond leaf for only 3 days. So numbers may change over next few weeks.

Tangering tiger caridina tank
10gal
2 tub fluval stratum
Ph 7.9
TDs 361
Gh 9
Kh 4

Blue dream neocaridina tank
1 tub fluval stratum 1 tub eco complete
10gal
Ph 8.1
TDs 354
Gh 9
Kh 4

Red cherry neocaridina
29gal
Large tub mix cheap Petco and eco complete
Ph 8.1
TDs 403
Gh 10
Kh 6
 
So this weeks work will be changing to DI or RO water to lower my peremeters. As mine are not good long term for breeding.
Also baby cherry's this morning. So excited.
