gh kh is for neocaridina shrimps!!!! Test your water, Nh4 no3 ph kh gh . i prefere for those shrimps those water parameters. Tds 120-150 gh4-5 kh0 ph 6.2-6.4 no3 >10 Water change i do 20% in tanks with big population and 10% with small population Some times for drop the no3 i do biger water changes to 50%. I keep 2x 30 gallons shrimp tank with hundrends crs in there only with sponge filtres. I have a problem wiht over population with those. Shrimp dont like high flow ...

That's what I pictured in my head. That's why I asked if it was shrimp-proofed. If you don't block it off, shrimp will get sucked into it. And shrimp prefer calm waters, rather than the high flow areas. That's fine, especially to illustrate what you were referring to. That's not an issue for shrimp.

Hi all, So I've been breeding TBs for about 18 months or so now. It's getting to the point that I never could have imagined, where I have nearly too many shrimp (if there can ever be such a thing?!). I'm thinking of maybe selling some (or even putting some into the live auction in September) but I don't really understand the gradings for TBs. I figured if I posted some pics of my BBs you could comment on whether they are good or not - I'd hate to misrepresent to someone what I'm selling. Ok, so on to the good bit, the pics! 1. I have some BBs that are mostly navy all over. I know their colour gets deeper as they get older, which is why it's mostly the larger shrimp I have that are this colour. 2. At the other end of the scale, I also have some that are mostly white, with just a little smattering of light blue on their heads. 3. I also have some that aren't completely blue, but the blue they do have is almost a metallic blue speckle. I'm not sure if this one is just a juvie who is going to grow into a full-navy style BB when slightly older. 4. Here's a family shot - anybody else's BBs tend to stick together in their tank? Or is it just coincidence? 5. Finally, I think this is my favourite BB. I am wondering whether this shrimp is a result of a shadow panda TB x tibee. There are some slightly brown-ish/clear patches on it's back that matched the colour of the tibee. At first I thought it could be some kind of BB mischling, but my tank has always been 100% pure TB (with 1 Tibee for 6 months). Even though the colour isn't the same from the head to the tail, I think this shrimp is beautiful. The blue colour shines metallic under the lights and it looks spectacular, the photo really doesn't do it justice. Is it possible to get a BB from a shadow panda x tibee? Am I the only person who thinks a non-uniform colouration on a BB is nicer than the solid navy? Anyway, thanks for reading if you got this far! Looking forward to hearing everyone's comments and thoughts.
