Heeey I have 8 shrimps in my 20 litre wondering how to breed them? Is it just a matter of luck ?
red orange yellowWhat kind of shrimp?
Hello.
You have a 20 litre tank with 8 shrimps and one betta? Your water change regime is fine. Those tiny creatures are not gonna stress the filter!
The red cherry shrinmp will almost certainly breed when they are ready. Keep your eye out for the large, rounder females carrying eggs beneath them. one day, you should find minute babies on the glass and plants, etc. Just increase the food once you have babies and keep up the water changes. Shrimps need excellent filtration and low dissolved solids
Until he can test the water daily water changes should be done. Sounds like the water has never been tested for ammonia, nitrites or nitrates. That is the reason I said daily 50% water changes. And if he thinks it was the betta that killed his shrimp then he needs to choose the betta or the shrimp or get another small tank.
Thnx for answering my question, master kit is comming, water I change it every week, put aqua safe and live bacteria, the shrimp I think the beta killed it, cuz the head was missing of the shrimp plus I bought 7 shrimps yday let's see how it gets on so in total 14 I think !! But water is fine just abit hard is the hardness inportant ?
What's the best way to make hardness go down ? Easiest way
