Basics of Shrimp Keeping

[parthapratim22]

thats natural if abhishek bro is recomending not using fertilizers than glut is even more risky.

I was expecting the same answer, I was thinking to put shrimps in my present small tank, but have to think other option then.

Nice write up buddy and i agree with everything you have said.

what about CA supplements? That was something I faced an issue with since i have very soft neutral pH water.

I am not saying that you cant use it, but it should always be in proper quantity. And also I am unsure about even the usage of co2 also..
Best option dont try it..

Thanks Viresh.

About CA supplement, I personally never used one Viresh like to keep it as simple as it can be, but some use the mosura iodine and calcium supplements which are good ones.

But for soft neutral water or ro water I do the 80-20 principle, 80% soft water and 20% normal water, coz the basic is maintaining the tds so some how keep it around 120-150ppm and job is done..

Hi Nandy, thanks man yes I have those recently lost all the fire red shrimps and also the yellow and snowball stock decreased, because when I was not in home for 3 days my dumb current room owner switched off the main power supply - idiot lady!!
