wow nice setup. did you cycle your tank? as for the oto i think it's stress. give it sometimes and the colour will be back. btw, what's the size of your tank? where did you buy the rock, i am finding this kind of rock but can't find them at c328.
did you soak your driftwood before putting it into the tank?
hmmm i did not soak my driftwood before putting it in. as for the rocks i got it from CRS Heaven its a tampines. well its a good place to shop but the stuff there is not cheap. thks for the info
ehh i did let my tank run for a week before putting everything in my
tank size is 1.5ft
hi bro, all your livestock including the CPO are in very stressed colors. If you haven't cycle the tank, it's a big risk over here. Although CPO are crayfish but it falls on the more sensitive side. and would advise you to change the placement of your DW as it is place to be a potential escape routes for the CPO. Trust me, crayfishes are great escape artist.
My cpo doing it in the public
hmmm cycle the tank means to let the water run for a few days is it ?
how do i cycle the tank
thanks for the tip on the DW
Do a search in this forum or google. Cycle means letting the water run for a period of time.There is slow as well as fast cycling. There are means to speed up cycle etc etc. try researching on them.Originally Posted by midoban
Is your wood still jutting out of the tank? Try to keep everything inside the tank as crayfishes are escape artists. IMHO, please cover the tank properly, especially around the HOF area...
Never kept CPO before but..
Your water is brown because the driftwood is leeching tannins into the water. Best cured by boiling/soaking driftwood before placing them in the tank.
Your tank is probably not cycled yet.. that's why your fauna are showing signs of stress.
ok thanks for the input
ehh, a proper cycling process is usually 3-4weeks. haha, but i didn't care about the cycling process (cannot stand tank with no shrimps)i then slowly introduced the shrimps after 1week. now after about 6weeks i got about 30 shrimps, 2 oto and 20-30 shrimplet. with a mixture of bee and red sakura shrimps
as for the DW, it's better to soak them using hot water after the water has cool down you can introduce to your tank. hope this helps
alright sure. hope that my moss haven fully rooted to the DW
I have not seen mosses rooted so far and they stablised themselves by how we tie them and than grow from such stability.
It is wise to clean your DW thouroughly and soak a few time including scrubing them under running water so that the water will not be browny again.
i do not have alot of time to wash the DW but is it ok if i leave it in the water. will it have any effect in the water other than its brown color?
anyone i just notice 3 of my crayfish is super active its seems like they are trying to run away with all their might anyone know what is going on?
actually my tank is going crazy all my fish is like super active is it something to do with my water ?
