Bee Shrimp Minerals Vs Shrimp Minerals?


JohnH

Recommended Posts

With my pending foray into CRS I though I better set up my divided tank with the conditions best suited to them and let the cherries adapt to that.

As my main rack is running with Sulawesi minerals, I ordered some Salty Shrimp, Bee Shrimp Minerals GH+. But today I received the Shrimp Minerals GH/KH+ instead. :crushed:

Is the Shrimp Minerals GH/KH+ ok for CRS or should I stick with the Bee Shrimp Minerals GH+?

I'm pretty sure this is the new updated version. Dean put a post up about it under Boss Aquaria I believe.:encouragement:

i hope that wasnt an order i stuffed up :) ?

the shrimp mineral GH/KH+ is suitable for sherry and crystal shrimp, just mix to required GH/KH.

the bee shrimp mineral is suitable for TB Tigers & crystal.

hope that helps

Ahh, excellent. No wonder I couldn't work out which was best by reading about them. This will save me having to do an exchange as I want the tank up and running by the weekend.

Nah, I decided to spread the love around and got it off AquaKitz, so no stuff ups on your behalf Dean. :triumphant:

Looks like I should have ordered this one anyways as the tank will have CRS and cherries in it.

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
