Thank you so much master i will update you once the shrimp arrive i keep that on my mind 🙏🙏🙏🙏

If the supplier you are getting the shrimp from keeps them in GH3 and has said that is ok, but the generally accepted range is 4 - 6, so ideally 5 as that is mid range! As before though, there may not be a 1GH difference between GH3 and GH4, it is only a rough reading with the tester kits as they change colour in whole GH only, ie GH3 on the tester, could be GH3.2 water and a reading of GH4 on the tester, could be GH4.7 water, so it shows a 1GH increase on the tester but is 1.5GH difference in the water. I recommend aiming/keeping the GH4 and as long as you drip acclimate the shrimps to the new water over as many hours as you can you should be fine. At this point just try and keep the parameters constant as possible over the next week until the shrimp arrive! Once the shrimp are settled into the new tank (weeks) it will still be adviseable to very slowly increase you GH and TDS in to/closer to the mid ideal range, but that is for the future so we can come back to that at that point.
