  • Cardinal Shrimp

    A couple of pics of my cardinal shrimp, they are currently in a 20 gallon long with some snowball shrimp.



    FTS: 20 gallon long with Black Diamond blasting grit.



    Berried snowball, I saw 3 shrimplets swimming around today. I have had these guys going on 2 weeks.

                    Nice! I really want to try cardinals after I get my crs tank going. What ph are you running on the tank that you can have snowballs and cardinals in the same tank? I though cardinals needed like 7.8-8.2 ph

                        yeah they do and Houston's tap water is just ideal for them.

                              These are in a tank that has Black Diamond blasting grit, which has a ph of ~7.9. Snowballs are pretty hardy and can tolerate up to 8.0 for a ph from what I have read. Snowballs are also breeding like crazy.
