CO2 and CRS

[doctr-dan]

Okay so whats the real answer can crs be kept in a heavily planted tank with co2 being injected?

[Matt_95]

Yes they can, I have seen some great examples from Tom Barr, I've never tried it but it can be done, I would assume you would have to watch the tank carefully though.

Hmm.. I've seen that kinda tank in my local aquarium. CRS there seems to be active and fine, although they don't seem to be breeding.

After a few more experiences if possible,

i would like them to be breeding and healthy in this enviroment

hi mate, i had co2 running in my 6ft moss tank for over 14 months with a massive shrimp population in it without problems.

i was running co2 24/7 at about 2BPS

my shrimp were fine.

as long as the tank is stable and you dont get big swings in parameters everything will be ok :)

what about high grade king kongs is it still possible ?

[Dean]

i would not like to be the one to test that :)

crs and cbs fine, taiwan bee ???? not worth the risk

[Dean]

scratch that!!! i just remembered that my 6 foot scaped tank has only tai bee in it and runs C02.

so yes they are ok with C02 :)

disregard last post...

Just wondering how you keep your tanks stable with low KH for shrimp while injecting co2? Esp at light out?

Thanks in advance, This is one topic of tanks I've never been able to wrap my brain around.
