Im trying to breed some low grade crs.I have setup a 10 gallon tank to do this.The tank has a hob power filter,diy co2,driftwood,java moss,pygmy chain sword,cryptocoryne wendtti,RO water and fluval shrimp stratum.Can someone help me with anything else i would need to keep and breed low grade crs like specific parameters etc?Im not very experienced at keeping shrimps but i am willing to learn alot.thanks

keep the pH between 6 and 7, and the temp. around 72

also i hear GH of about 5dGH helps...

sounds like your off to a good start, the only thing I see that may be a problem is the DIY co2, your ph may not be very stable. IDK just a thought.
Also make sure you have a pre-fiter on your intake tube of your HOB,

what if the temp of my tank rises to 78?Will the CRS die?Right now the temp of my tank looks like its 76F or 77F and the tank doesnt have a heater.

Are you adding something back to your RO water?

Short term higher temps are OK, but long term it will stress them out and they will eventually die. At the very least your breeding and baby survival will take a hit. Try putting a small fan on top of your aquarium and set it up on a timer so it maintains a stable lower temp.

getochkn,no its just plain ro water.i added a couple RCS to the tank and they are doing good.heres a pic of one munching on hikari shrimp food.i would like to add some CRS too.

yo that's a nice RCS

get mosura mineral plus or fluval mineral supplement or something of the sort to reconstitute your RO water. kh=1-2 gh=4-6 ph under 7 and you should be good
