Are my fauna too much?

[scotworm]

See, i'm having a 36cm by 18cm by 24cm tank.

Inside, i've got 10 boraras brigittae and 3 red crystal shrimp. Is it too much fauna inside?

I thought of removing 5 rasbora and add in 5 shrimps.
What do you think?

my tank only got moss.


If you could, could you please teach me how to calculate or estimate how much fauna should be added per cm2 of space in tank?

It all depends on your filteration. If it can take the bioload, it is not an issue...

[Ssur]

Do consider that if conditions are right, the shrimps may breed.

scotworm, what kind of filteration are you using?

[Fei Miao]

I kept 10 boraras brigittae in a thickly planted 1ft before and IMO I finds it's okay.

[scotworm]

Hihi..

My filter is a simple filter... $8...

And i just add in some coral chips inside the filter. Just throw it. Yeap..

Boraras brigittae natural habitat are in black waters, they colours up and do better with low pH, why add coral chips?

[scotworm]

Ahh... i see, i see.. thanks alot a lot. I added them because of crystal red shrimps sake... the pH was at 6.0, close to 5.5 !! NOt good for the shrimps..

That's why, i want to make it to 6.5 or close to neutral.. yaa....
