Hi NoGi , i just got 4 tangerine's ( 3 females and one male from what i can distinguish , at least one its pregnant). Since i put them on the new nano , they seam quite a bit "agitated" swimming around the glasses etc , not staying at the same place for more than  30 secs. Since i until now only had CRS which don't behave like this i was wondering if this is normal on Tangerines or is it  something to worry about.

Best Regards

JMGC

 

Ps : They are alone in the new nano since i don't want interbreed them until i find more info on them.

I've noticed that my tang tigers are a lot more active than CRS. At first I thought it was the activity associated with a female moulting, which usually gets all the boys buzzing around the tank, but they seem to do it more often than moults could occur, and I've been unable to find a moult on lots of occasions. Mine are breeding regularly and no deaths so I guess it is normal behaviour for them.

Good I was worried that something could be wrong :)

Since today for some reason I lost 3 crs for the 1st time. After doing a tpa yesterday :/)

Tnx

Sorry, what is a tpa? I assume you mean water change?

Do you drip your new water into the tank? CRS don't like rapid changes in water parameters, even if it's just from a small water change e.g. 10%

Ops , yeah TPA is parcial water change but in Portuguese , aha , we get used to use acronyms and then this happens :)

Nope i dint used the drip method since its impossible where i have the aquarium. But in 40L (10.567 us gallons) i changed only 5L (1.321 us gallons) , and until that day they never showed any distress. It's all ok now but this sunday i will do it again , this time slower.

Tnx

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
