Looking good, hopefully you will have a lot more soon!!! There is a lot of info here if you need it.

Great looking shrimp. Good luck with them!

dreamwallaby · 01-19-2013, 02:52 AM

so pretty

giantdny · 01-19-2013, 07:47 AM

Thanks I've been keeping fish for several years. I've kept RCS for a while but this is my first try with oebt.

Nice. What are the specs of the tank? How many do you have?

**Soothing Shrimp** · 01-19-2013, 05:19 PM

Some have had luck, others not so much. Good luck to you!

giantdny · 01-19-2013, 06:52 PM

It's a 5gal fluval spec with a small piece of driftwood and some java moss.

There are 5 in there. I don't think they have reached maturity yet. They are roughly 1cm long. Two are blondes but I have heard that they don't always get color until they get older.

Tank parameters are
69 degrees
Ph 6.8
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 10ppm
Gh 3
Kh 3

I thought lower fh was good? And what does Tds mean? Also what can I do to get rid of the nitrates? That's pretty low already right?

giantdny · 01-19-2013, 08:23 PM

Ok total dissolved solids. I'm not sure. Looks like I need another test kit

**jkan0228** · 01-19-2013, 08:26 PM

You can add some floaters (I can give you some salvinia) if you can stop by.

You can buy a TDS meter off Evilbay for a few bucks. Or from Mordalphus (here in the forum)

giantdny · 01-19-2013, 08:36 PM

Ok stop by? Where are you located?

giantdny · 01-24-2013, 08:20 PM

Ordered a TDS meter and I've added a small amount of RO water to the tank. 20% maybe. Ill have before and after parameters in a few min
