Default Breeding Possibility?

Greetings to all experts/shifus

Its my first time trying to breed CRS.

These are my water parameter to start off.
Temp: 24-25 (chiller set at 24)
ph: 6.4
NH3: 0ppm
NO2: 0ppm
NO3: 10ppm
KH: 1
GH: 5

Is this condition good for breeding?
What should the ratio of male:female be like?

I dose mosura mineral plus and old sea mud, eros at every 10-15days.
I also dose calcium liquid given by a nice bro when i bought test kits from him many months back.

What else is recommended to get my shrimps berried?

Bro parameter look good but it is the water condition which i don't really know how to explains. If you notice i've been posting before despite all my correct parameter i've never get my crs berried only with ero or breeding liquid than they respond. After 3 failure the final reset of tank is due to the hydra. And no thanks to those pest not to mention advise from bros and masters. I reset my tank this time with very much success i see them dancing in nature without liquid or eros. I would say every 2 to 3 weeks cause i do not have alot of female. Some females are still juveniles.

Your water parameters seems fine.
Let nature take its course, they will breed once they are comfortable.

Are the white colours very bad? Why do you have to dose liquid calcium? Too much calcium can cause moulting problems. You are literally killing your shrimps if you dose too much calcium. Reason, you use eros to force them to moult but yet you use calcium to thicken their shells which makes it difficult for them to moult. Like bro reaverx says, less is more don't just because someone says this product is good you just jump in. Try to find out more first.

I only dose calcium n old sea mud + mineral plus when i water change to replenish what was taken away. As for exoskele, hardly see it. Thanks so much!! Will it be good if i cut my calcium dose to monthly instead of with water change?

Here is an old thread. http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...hlight=wjustin

Have a look. There is actually no need to dose liquid calcium.

Thanks bro! This cracked head happened to my sakura in the past, in my 1.5ft tank. But it survived a week and more before it died. @.@! The thread says it dies soon after that happen.

Okie! I think i'll only dose calcium when i see the exoskeleton very very thin then.
