That's probably why I only seem to have success with Japonica in my 58. It's basically set up for Discus. 80*F, 6.6 Ph, GH of 5-6, KH of 7-8. The plants don't seem to care though.

You may also have a problem with discus supplementing their protein intake

I'll try this again...anyone? Bueller? What are the criteria for grading?

h20 plant · 08-08-2006, 08:32 AM

Have you tried googling it (you probably have thus another stupid question) The criteria depends on the white stripes really. The more solid white stripes it has then the higher the grade also in has to have defined red stripes, large one by head two in mid of tail and one at end then dots on the tail tips. The shrimp cant look like a 1 year old coloring book if you know what im talking about. I don’t know if this is what you wanted to know but its better then nothing.

It's possible to brred shrimp in 5 gallon tanks, right?

wayneside · 07-18-2008, 12:25 PM

is it advisable to keep crystal black shrimp with my crystal reds to strengthen the gene pool? i remember reading that somewhere but thought i would ask here.

Yes, pure crystal blacks will strengthen the gene pool. I believe inbreeding only starts affecting the offspring after the 6th or 7th generation though (and anything past). So there's plenty of time before you actually have to start mixing. Adding black and reds together is a nice combo though. Personally, I'd combine the two right from the start. :-)

cool cool...now i need to find some crystal blacks!

ikuzo · 09-25-2008, 05:43 AM

my tap water parameter are these :
pH 7.5
GH 12
temp around 28°C

what's my chance for keeping CRS?

brohawk · 09-25-2008, 08:05 AM

10% I'd guess.
