Hi to everyone! Im new here and i hope i get to learn, grow, and spread my experience in the shrimpkeeping hobby through this website. I live in the Philippines and Im a lil bit experienced to shrimpkeeping and aquariums in general as I have had my tanks for only a little bit more than a year. I keep two 5gal tanks, one of which is my main tank and the other one is a cull tank. In the main tank I have red cherries and in the cull tank i have all the culls and a wild species of shrimp abundant in my locality of which i dont know the species, and a molly I saved from a relative of mine because they kept her in a jar. So i guess that would be it, i would hope to interact with all of you in the future

Hi ! I live in Seattle where the water is incredibly soft and I have a tap water pH of 6.7, GH of 0-1 and KH 2. My existing tank with plants already has buffered substrate. Would I have better chance of keeping CRS than RCS with my current water parameters ? Or would RCS do okay? I do have an RO system already, and I could remineralize my water with salty shrimp KH/GH+. Which would allow my GH and KH parameter to be okay for neocaridinas, but I already have a tank with active substrate. I’m 100% I don’t have space to set up another tank with inert substrate. Would do you recommend ? What are pH you have successfully kept neocaridinas and have them thriving ? Thanks ! I appreciate all the help as I am new to the hobby.
