Harvesting planaria

[imke]

I agree with Xmant and the other: Sakura are 'rough' shrimp which breed quicker and more easily than other. The biological theory that quick growing populations of one shrimp species (=your Sakura) block other shrimp populations (=your CR), also exists.

hmmm, its okie. i think i bother bro spid alot already.

anyway... i feel that its true that when my sakura population boom, my crs population go down.

anyway, ive split both my crs and sakuras into different tanks. and my crs is slowly thriving..

Any problem just shoot me a PM lah. No worries.

My ph is around 6.8 and water temp is 24 degree. Any comments?

Sakura and CRS don't really stay in the same water parameters. It depended very much on your water. If Sakura is doing well then CRS will be not and vice versa. They have a slight difference in pH n temperature for breeding. Sakura preferred slightly higher temperature than CRS.

[Xmant]

If your kH is around 2-3 and gH is around 5-6, CRS should breed well. But the newly born shrimplets are more vulnerable to WC. Just skip your WC regime for that week to let the shrimplets to get a bit older before you continue to do WC as usual.

If possible, try to move your sakura to another tank as they are more agressive than CRS and snatch away the food from CRS. To breed your CRS well, they must be in good water parameters and constantly supplied with food, but not over feed them.

can i order a tube of Planarias^^.
wonder if they can become feeders for any kind of fish though
