    You can try to shine light from behind the Crs and see if there's any saddle form.

    Hi Eviltrain,

    From my naked eyes, i can see through some weird colour like "orange" around its body.

    Actually the saddle will be at the back of the shrimp. A bit orange de.

    Re: How to see whether CRS are ready to breed or have egg with them

    Oh I see..
    All i can tell from what i see through is there like few oranges ball-like things around the belly till the back of the shrimp.
    What should i do with it, If it is ready to breed?
    As i read through forum.. the water temperature i had now is bad.. 28.3 degree to 28.5 degree.
    I think i going to get a chiller for my tank, but not sure my overhead filter fit the chiller or not as its powerhead need to be in water to suck out water,
    which i know it will be bad for shrimplets( if there really are)
    Please guide me more on this.
    Thanks alot

    There's some standard setup in the forum that you can follow. Tank to canister then to chiller then back to the tank.

    I suggest not to make any changes now since it is breeding. They may drop the eggs if there is a sudden change in the environment. Just my 2 cents worth of thought.

    bro, sounds like you did not follow the traditional way of setting up using a cannister filter. the bad news is, getting your shrimps to be pregnant is easier than making the offspring survive. good luck.

    yes bro, referring to your setup. you are thread starter ma. maybe low grade shrimps can breed in low tech tanks. however, i wouldn't recommend too much fluctuations of temperature for shrimplets as raising them are certainly harder.

    suggestion wise, do look out for the flow rate of cannister filter to go with your chiller. and with cannister filter, you will have to look out for better filter medias that will provide the same surface area for bb growth as your ohf, despite reducing the media that you can squeeze into your cannister. maybe can run both concurrently. however, i reckon heat transfer rate will be higher.

    if u look at the forum, most will stick with slightly below 25 degrees.
