Shrimps

[Tad]

The best water quality to keep them - any suggestion ?

Depends on the kind of shrimp really. Ghost, amano, RCS are all pretty hardy and will do just fine in a regular tank assuming you don't have fish that will eat them.

What about the temperature ? 30 degree isn't to high ?

That probably depends on the shrimp, too. If it helps I treated fish with Ich by using heat and salt and the Ghost Shrimp I had all survived with very high temps. But I can't answer for other shrimps.

I cant say the same, Ive had amano shrimp in both my 20 and 30 gallon that least had 10ppm of nitrates. Im not sure how other fish shrimp are with them, but amanos are fine.

No I mean like a lot of nitrAte like 30ppm of ot

 

[tyspot1000]

Oh, well of course, I dont even think fish like that much
