Can we have a FTS of your tank cause it is very interesting.. What is the parameter like? and What water did you use tap water? or RO water?

If I'm not wrong the 3 pictures showed the same shrimp pregnant?

I'm using a soilless setup as well. The difference between you and me are that I'm using inert sand while you bare tank.
In general, I do not agree with your defination of success. Having 1 pregnant shrimp that is.
If I'm not wrong, I believe you setup your tank before me, and purchase shrimps from tony(veggie). It's been around 2 months and this is your first pregnant shrimp. I do not think its very successful. Secondly, what you do not know for sure still, is 1. Whether the mama will kick eggs? 2. The egg will be successfully hatched? 3. Will tw shrimplets grow into adults eventually?
IMO, I would only deem an setup successful only if there is a growing population and the setup is able to maintain these large populations.
Just my 3 cents.

Congrate for having berried females, it is a step closer to a sucessful tank.

Come on do share the fts haha with the success mean a lot of damn saving for us. It already painful enough to burn a hole in the damn pocket not to mention keep seeing the bank account statement withdrawal n more withdrawal

[Neondagger]

Haha. But I wonder. Wth soil take photo also nicer. Without soil nice? Look damn empty le. But then again. Easier to spot the shrimp. Like shrimps in the shower haha. Naked! The beauty of the shrimps can be seen easily.

Congrats Bruce.
Section 1 pass.... Your try quite good but far from complete right? When the shrimplets grow up and have berried then you will have much more shoik.

The parameters,
Ph 6.5
Gh 4-5
Kh 1
Temp 24
Others ddnt measure...
Most important bout soiless is prompt to ph swing therefore WC is done daily using dripping method, each time a small amount. Average weekly at bout 15% WC

That is a lot of work to do wc by dripping method. I just change 20-30% at 1 time. And even within this short period of wc, very often i will get distracted and I will forgot to off the tap, and water overflow and in the end become 40-50% wc. Scary... Haha
And lastly, I need to mop the floor after that, very pissed with myself. Haha

[godprint]

And any casualties huizhong?

Brucegan2 look forward to hearing more of your practice.

[huizhong]

Yes sometimes But not many because I use aged water.
TS, can share how you maintain or get these parameters?
