Hi Peeps!

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and just to share my newbie shrimp tank.
Hope to learn more from all the experience shrimp keepers.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum..
Is that a pump in the tank? If it is, the shrimplets might be through it and become shrimp paste..
Rocks inside also must cause problems.. But only seen in long run..

Hi alvinchan80, the pump is for my chiller. I've place small pcs of jap mat to protect the little shrimps from being suck into. BTW what will the rocks cause in the long run????

It really depends on the type of rock you are using. I believe Alvin refers to the kind of rocks that are not inert and will slowly release soluble compounds into the water column,increasing the gH (or even pH in the case of rocks such as limestone/chalk) of the water. Higher gH values can cause molting issues in the long run and pH fluctuations can cause unecessary stress. Do read up more on types of rocks to use in the aquarium to know which types are inert (eg. lava/pumice rock).
