I keep BKKs in there too and they are berried at the moment

I had CBS in:

6.5 pH
TDS ???

100% RO + 1ml Fluval Mineral per gallon of water.
PH: 6.4

When the adults get the hold in your tanks, they are berried every two or three months.

Nitrate right between 5-10ppm
Straight tap water and 50% water change once a week. A-SSS quality started with about 50 shrimp 2 months ago and have sold that much by now and still have 100+
It is pretty heavily planted though.

With pH that high? That's what I want to hear. In the stickies the care sheet says pH in the mid-7 range, but it seems that everyone is keeping them at around 6.5 or lower. My pH is around 7.6 and I'd like to give CRS a try, but I really don't want to set up another tank right now.

I read a post from member in other forum. He has PH 5-5.5 and TDS 120

Looks like pure line CRS don't care for parameters much.

This is my param for CRS

PH: 6.6-6.7
TDS: 150ppm
GH: 4
KH: 2-3
Temp: 76-77 degree

So, looks like mid 6's is the norm with a couple extremes high and low. I am kinda interested in more info on the shrimp living and breeding in the pH 7.5-7.8 water. That I can do now. Otherwise, it'll be another darn tank to setup. Probably go small with this one if it has to happen. Looks like I should have hung on to that bag of Akadama afterall

temp: 74~76
tds: 058~123
ph: 5.9
gh:4
kh:2 - 3

Temp:72-74
pH: 6.4
gH: 5
kH: 0-1
TDS: 133

pH: 6.3
gH: 4-5
kh: 0-1
TDS: ~200

Have pure line beni bachi's and ss+/sss shrimp, probably close to 100 shrimplets, and all females are berried at all times, low % of baby death.

I noticed that some of the well experienced people that posted their GH keep it around 4. From the information I have gathered here, I thought a GH of 5 was optimal for CRS?

If I kept my GH at 4, I could lower my TDS. So which is better? GH of 5? or a lower tds? My tds ranges from 170-190 at a GH Of 5.
