Hi All pro,

Newbie first time posting here

i have a 2feet tank with chiller temp set at 23-24 degree tank, running for more den 3months minimum casualty in the tank. TDS reading at 150-160

Lots of Pure Red Line in the tank berried waited for almost 5weeks, female shrimp belly all empty already but i still never see any shrimplets at all.. inside my tank got lots of hiding place.. i flip thru all the hiding place. i cant figure the problem GH 4

any advice? any mineral help?

Using OTTO PSB Bacteria.
and DI water at 0 TDS(initially use tap water with anti chlorine when i started the tank)


My past experience, i had being using Mosura Product for my old set up Crystal Red Shrimp breed like crazy. before i gave up keeping shrimp due to NS..

Keep your temperature at 25 degree and TDS to 120 - 130 Max

give yourself about 1 week to see them visibly

Good news! Shrimplet is small, not easy to detect.
Just make sure your water parameter and temperature is stable. Be patient, you will see the result.
As for TDS, it really depend on breeder. Since you are keeping PRL, some say 100 or 150 is good.
For me, i keep it stable as TDS 130. Just make sure, your water has enough mineral, etc.
For your information, i ever get shrimp from TW Wine red, their water TDS keep as low as 80.
Just make sure you use the acclimation method before introduce to your tank.
Happy shrimping.
