shrimp group buy on planted tank

[Ca Nguyen]

Cooler temps around 70
Acidic pH
Stable and consistent


There's a suggested KH/GH too but I don't pay attention to those, though I probably should.

my aquasoil amazonia ii leave my water at 6.0, but that's the lowest my test can read. i suspect it may be in the 5s. do you think it's bad of my crystals?

The only problem I see with that is the extreme acidic water might be a problem come molting time, spikes when doing water changes and keeping the params consistent.

im scared to buy too much lol so im thinking just 10 total cause this bill is already HIGH!

all CRS?

all CRS?

crs and cbs

So a lower ph is necesary. My shrim tank is at 7.6 ph temp at 75 ish

[eklikewhoa]

Thats probably where my tank sits, good acclimation is key, then maintaining consistency

[R_sustaita]

So a that ph i can add crs?

[eklikewhoa]

they would survive when acclimated properly.

Then i might give it a try with just 2

[R_sustaita]

HeY i will be taking a challenge. I may not take any and wait for the bigg tank to be set up

[madehtsobi]

Thats cool.

i want to set up my 29g and transfer the rcs into the 10g and leave the 3.5 for the fry. it all depend on when you order the shrimp.

[madehtsobi]

I'm thinking probably another week or 2 at most?

[R_sustaita]

ok good plenty of time to do the set up. and let the water cycle and know the water parameters right. if everything looks good then i may go with more shrimp.
