Recommended Posts

have a 2 foot tank which i want to set up a shrimp tank. I am wanting to keep some crs shrimp and whatever colourful fresh water shrimps that are available. My question is what is the ideal temperture and water (ph) wise . WHat is good to feed them also. Do i need plants if so what type? if any1 breeds colourful fresh water shrimps pm me .

If i wanted to keep a few l numbers with the shrimps would this be an issue ?

Hi,

Freshwater shrimps prefer the cooler temperature of our community tank! i.e 20*c to 24*c would be ideal with pH 6.5-7. But most importantly no Nitrite or Ammonia.

Have a look at this site http://www.shrimpfanatics.com/shrimp-intro.html

You should try out the cheaper glass varieties or even Cherry shrimps to get a feel before jumping into CRS as they are readily available and cheaper!

I feed mine on crab recipe from Hikari, Squash and occasianal blanch spinach
