I saw those same posts. I've delt with that seller as an admin on another forum. I'm sorry to say but I don't trust that guy as far as I can toss a car. We'll see and I hope you can prove me wrong.

Now as to aclimate them I would do small water changes every few days with fresh water untill it is ...

You got mail!

Anyone!

I will be getting 20 wild tiger shrimp (seller's not 100 % sure). The seller said that water they are in is brackish with 1.07 gravity. I have a 2.5gallon empty that I have just cycling since yesterday (freshwater) I will buy the hydromiter tonight & get it started with 1.07 salinity.

Now the ...

Depending on the size of the tank, a freshly cycled tank can have no measurable nitrates for the first month or so, even if its not planted :) It takes a little while to build up to the point where it will register on most test kits.

hmm... first time I heard that! As far as I know you will have ...

Everything else was good, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate are all 0.

You said you have a cycled tank, right? If so the NitrAte shouldn't be at 0 unless you have a heavyly planted tank that eats up all the nitrate. Maybe just maybe your test kit is expired, another thing is if you planted the hedge you ...

Is this dangerous to our shrimps?

Lowering the hardness of the tank with RO water might increase hatch rate of the Shimps, much like breeding many fish.

Is this true? if so where can I get RO water? my tap is KH 5 & GH 8 with 7.5 ph.

Thanks!

They are still picking around for food & are active. Guess I am lucky too! but as you said Mustafa i'll watch for any signs of different behavior.

thanks guys for all your help!!

So far there's no death in my tank (its been day 2) since trim the leaves & parted it into 2. Should I move the shrimps out or the plants? I have the plants (anubias nana & java fern) in the driftwood so it is easy to move than cathching all my shrimps.

-Brian

Guys you are not talking about anubas nana...right! I have just cut some in my shrimpt tank only.

bgssamson, We are still looking into ways to do a group order thru GWAPA. Will be discussed again at next meeting. You read the discussion onn the GWAPA forum right?

Yes, I did! Let me know how much you can get it! I can't post on GWAPA since I am not a participating member. Do you think they ...

I thank you for your very very knowledgeble advise.

Hope someday I can breed cherrys & other shrimp like you do! But first I have to get my hands on some more cherry's. I think I only have females.

-Brian

yes! White clouds (adults & 1 week old Babies). Do you think the adult harrast my cheriess? Should I transfer them back to my 10 gallon w/ cherry barb (they get along just fine but no babies). My other 10 gallon is not yet stablish.


Thanks you,
