    Today morning parameters!

    Finally cycled.

    Ammonia: 0 ppm
    Nitrite: 0 ppm
    Nitrate: 50 ppm

    Did a water change to get nitrate down.

    Ammonia is 0.25 ppm after wc, hopefully by night/tml it should be 0.

    Haha, not rich. Pocket already got big hole from setting up the tank.

    I thought of using sensitive shrimps to test would be much better as I plan to introduce better grade CRS or PRL.

    Hopefully these 10 can survive! Gonna pass them all to my friend if they make it.

    thanks for your comment!

    Just to update, shrimps have been alive for more than 72 hours! Dropped in 1/4 piece of Dennerle Shrimp Complete food to test but they ignored it. So I suppose my tank have enough food for them.

    My tank evaporation rate is quite fast, can I add distilled water to top or should I use chlorinated water.

    Gh is about 6 now, I have mineral rock into the tank too.

    If its just top up, use distill water. (Help to prevent building up of excessive mineral which exist naturally in the water) water change, can use dechlorinated water.

    Re: New shrimp tank - advise

    Just a small update.

    Since the water parameters have been stable for 1 week and I seen quite a few molting, I assumed the tank is quite stable now.

    I have since took out the 10 commandos, passed it to my friend and added a few PRL (4Female/3Male) from Aquarist Chamber.

    17 hours since PRL were added, no casualty so far. Finger crossed!

    Haha, he did treat me to a meal after that.



    Only 1 of them were infront of the tank for a nice shot.

    Now I'm battling with brown hair algae on my weeping moss. Every 2 day I need to use toothbrush to comb it out.

    I know adding amano shrimp will help with it, but will they be very aggressive towards other shrimps

    Got 2 otto in the tank, it seems they prefer other algae cause they very very rarely touch the brown hair like algae.
