What are your water params for the cbs??

What are your water params for the cbs??

They're in my RCS tank, so the pH is 7.6 nitrates are always under 20ppm it's a high tech tank too, pressurized CO2, high light. I'm surprised they're still alive lol

 

[OBEYtheFISH]

The cbs need soft water ph around 6.5 I think
Low temps around 68
Shouldn't the nitrates be low in a high tank plant tank?

Yeah, I know but I don't expect them to breed....at all. It was more of a test than anything. I acclimated them for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. Plus, my LFS gave them to me for free to begin with lol yes, but my tap isn't the best. I have super fast growing plants and floating plants to keep the nutrients down too.

 

[OBEYtheFISH]

For free? Lucky >.<
What lfs?
The demand for CBS went up out of no where

 

[MABJ]

Wow, Austin, they look to be a decent grade, too.

 

[LyndaB]

My RCS are fascinating...... love to watch them.

 

[MABJ]

Very nice shrimp lol. How many?

Aww I see a berried one

 

[LyndaB]

Yeah, that's the coolest thing..... hard to believe I started off with about 20 and now I have about 50 that I can see, so I'm sure there are even more.

 

[OBEYtheFISH]

Their population grows in a matter of months

 

[LyndaB]

They definitely take "go forth and multiply" very seriously......

 

[MABJ]

I can't wait. If I'm ever overstocked, I love LFS credit.

 

[OBEYtheFISH]

RCS!

 

[LyndaB]

Look at that dark red, that's gorgeous!

 

[MABJ]

Oh my!!! They're an incredible strain!!!!! Sign me up for some LOL.

 

[MABJ]

They wouldn't happen to be part of the fire red ones are they?

The fire red isn't entirely different, is it? Something I've been meaning to ask.
