    all parameters looks alright so far. again gH and kH may be impt for shrimplets who are consistently molting to grow bigger

    you use distill water for topups or pwc? it may seems cheap like 1.5 l X2 for 95 cents? but long run its quite chor, yes the LIFE brand pH is 6.5

    Shrimplets eat mico-organism at the birth . and smaller food pieces as most of the 2 weeks they are hiding.
    There are shrimpy food on the market that are very fine like powder. I mix them into aquarium water in a small container and inject thru a syringe to there usual hideout . so that they are well fed.
