I've read the sticky. Is there anything else I need to know about keeping shrimp in my planted tank?
my tank has very soft water KH of <1 and GH of 3, ph of 6.8
I will be adding pressurized CO2 soon and expect to keep the pH at 6.4 (optimum co2 level). Are shrimp very sensitive to pH? I know they are sensitive to nitrates so I intend to do twice weekly water changes for a couple of weeks.
How do you acclimatise shrimp to a new tank? Just like fish?
What are the best type of shrimp for algae control?
Sorry, I really don't know much about these guys and really want to keep them. I'm doing so much reading right now.
