for the amount of shrimps u have, i suggest u break of 1/5 of an algae pellet and feed them once in every morning.

Tank size : 2 litre ocean free tank with small hang on filter and 13W light.

tempt :29-30c.

plants are : 2 anubias nanas, java moss, flame moss on floor and big coconut cave, spiky moss on small coconut,frogbits.



but im not sure about certain things.

*my shrimps when transfered, seems to be very active. scout around, inspecting every inch of my tank, not like how i observed in the shop, stay one place eat eat eat. are they stressed?

*should i change water 10 percnt each dae?

*is the waterfall created by my filter provide enough oxygen for this little guys?

and lastly.

*should i stop dosing excel/flourish?

Hope they will survive in this setup. really want to see them breeed like crazy ahah. wish me luck.

ALrite thanks people !!

Create some 'caves' using driftwood. I managed to squeeze in 10+ cherries, 17 green shrimps and 10 crs Together with 3 otos and 5 small fish(name starts with ba something) All in my 25 cm tank.

most of the time, the shrimps will be beneath the driftwoods. Around 10+ will show face

alrite getting meself some 4-5 cherries tmrw ! yey

btw anyone used this thermometer sticker to check tempt?



i kinda haf doubts about its accuracy haha

i have also decided to feed them half or 1/3 algae pellets every 2 days to prevent dirty tank. hope everything goes well for me *pray*

decided to get 4 orange shrimp :



heard that they are quite hardy and they wont breed in normal freshwater aquarium which is gd for me due to limited tank size. hope they'll make it.

saw some shrimp waste collected around my marimo ball. quite alot. should i siphon it out ? or jus let it be?

Let it be. Try not to give ur shrimps too much stress. I learnt it the hard way Clean it when it accumulate some amount.

But you are using pure black sand? I tried using it, but found the floor becomes dirty overtime. That's why i added a layer of custom soil on top of it.

lol yeaa it does become dirty easily. had to use chopstick and stir gravel to siphon out the dirts once a weeek haha. thanks!
