    Hi guys, just want to ask if my water parameter is ok.

    pH: 6.5
    kH: 3
    gH: 5

    temperature did not measure.

    I'm only rearing sakuras is this water ok for them?
    Occassionally i see some weird worms, the ones with hairy heads, they float up so i just catch them and throw away.

    There's no "ideal" parameters per say. Just keep it within the limits of the shrimps you are keeping and keep it as stable as possible. Don't hand itchy keep changing it to try and hit the "ideal" parameters and you should be fine.
    As of now, its good for sakura.

    The "worms"....are you sure they're not mosquitos?

    Thanks! What i meant was is my water ok for the shrimps lol! Thanks for the input!
    I don't know what that worm is, but it's quite harmless and not many of them, occassionally 1 will float to the surface and i just pick it up and burn it.

    Guess i can start adding shrimps into my tank

    Hi deone, Maybe you'll want to take a picture of the "worm" that you had mentioned. Any worms/insects/parasites do not make good friends with shrimps/shrimplets.

    As for the parameters, like what Bro Navanod has mentioned. No ideal parameters but only recommended range and your range is still Okay.

    Ok next time i'll try to take a picture of that worm if it appears again.
    Is there anyway to lower the ph? I think i'm gonna go C328 to get some shrimps today. Still thinking sakuras or yellow fire.

    Yea, I asked because the only worm looking things I know of with a hairy head and floats up and down are mosquito larvaes, aka, wrigglers. Don't breed dengue bro haha
