What filter system do you have? Maybe I can help.

 

[EMAN12]

Its a 12g aquapod so it has a internal filter.

You can put a piece of sponge or pantyhose across/around the intake to exclude Shrimplets.

 

[EMAN12]

Thats a good idea.

They may. Galaxy Raboras = CPD same fish.

If you don't have sufficient plant cover for them, you'll definitely have some get eaten.

I feel bad about people purchasing CPDs anymore, they're nearly extinct I hear

They can be bred in captivity. It's loss of habitat for many fish these days rather than pet trade.

I heard suppliers aren't actually breeding them yet. Most of these are wild stock. I hope the strain doesn't go extinct. They're very pretty.

That's pretty low. Time will tell. What are your nitrates?

I think they'll Do just fine. As I understand it, around 6.0 is where they reproduce, but I'm sure someone keeps them low like that successfully.

They can reproduce in a pH of 6-8 if they are happy and healthy enough.

They're not endangered, just uncommon in the aquarium industry.

Nah there are lots of people breeding them now. I also heard that they found another large wild source for them apart from the few localities they were originally found in.

They are as easy to breed as any other danio, thankfully, and are great tub/pond spawners.
