Default My Shrimp Journey (Sgguppylover)

Hi all, i had always been fascinated by shrimps since 2 years ago.Once, i tried to breed crystal red shrimps for around 3-4 months but i gave up due to no results.After seeing some many shrimp photos here and the arofanatic members journal, i decided to join back the fun and set up a shrimp tank.Planning to add crystal red shrimps soon in the next few days.This tank is a 2 ft tank with only 2 sponge filter and a PL Light.Currently using fan to maintain temperature at 24 degree celsius.

My Shrimp Tank Setup:

Cycled for 2 weeks with this beneficial bacteria and some guppies:

The Water conditioner i am using:

Food i am using:

Soil: ADA Amazonia II mineralised with

Livestock:

Thanks for readingAny comment is welcomed.

For me, i feel it is quite good and economical.For this set-up, i cycled for a week with my guppies 1 week.Then the next week i use this bacteria to help speed up.I then add shrimps at the end of second week.I overdose during water change but shrimps all okay.
