My Shrimp Set Up, Rascal Collection

[haywas_35]

As we all know plant absorb nitrite/nitrate from the tank, no light means no cycle. Shrimp also need light. Do check if light was off during that time.

the problem is no one wants to own up but for now, i did 20-30% wc and dose BT9 every alternate day. I will give my parameter again after Wc.

I found one shrimplets which has a reddish yellow translucent with white spots on the head. Anyone have this type? I don't know the parents. I cant capture as my camera not that good.

It's your pets. Why you want to blame your family members when your pets die? You are already lucky to have someone help you look after them when you were not around. It was 5 weeks, not 5 days. Live with it!

i never blame bro, please don't say anything if you don't know the reason to it. thanks. if they say something about it, may be its easier for me to know the problem and solve it. i hope you understand and yes i did 5-10% wc every 2-3 days and dose BT9.

How is the tank now? Shrimps still dying every day?

[rascal]

now.. all my crs have stop dying. still sad as almost half of my bkk, wr and tiger did not survive.

When you say 'nobody wants to own up' means you are accusing them of doing something but no one wants to admit that he or she did it. So if that is not blaming, what is it?

There was no guarantee that your shrimp would have survived if you were around anyway.

All you can do now is to change water and monitor. Or you can reset.

hmm... anything that makes you happy bro. I explain my views already. To me, this is just a chance for me n my family to learn more about this hobby. by the way Thanks for participating and posting in my thread

[huizhong]

Did you add any active carbon bro? I heard it helps but I have not try it before.

[rascal]

i did.. hmm some say it might take 4-5 weeks to see if it can be stable or not. if not i think i be redoing it when the soil expire. no choice. too bad the money for next set up is to redo this tank..hahha orh well..

[huizhong]

we are all learning together. don't be dishearten. i am also trying my best to reduce casualties. always find 1 or 2 dead shrimp everyday...

[rascal]

nah, I not angry or blaming anyone.. and yes we all are learning.. hmm good news actually seen all my shrimps are starting to get active again and see 6 mamas berried for the past 4 days.

The solution i did:

1) Do WC 5-20% every 2-3 days.
2) Dose BT9 every alternate day.
3) Add airstones just to add oxygen and add movement to water.
4) Just pray hard and be patient.

hahha.. hope all goes well.
if all is alright, will try get blue pandas, wr and kk to replace the ones who died and go to heaven

[alvinchan80]

Good to see improvements in your tank.. Good luck..

[rascal]

hi guys, from what i see, after all the "panicking" my tank is going good and all is alright as no death found and all shrimps are active again.
Before I going to sleep, I decided to check my parameters (just in case) and guess what i found

I believe its a TIBEE!!! Please correct me if i am wrong.
Sorry if picture is not clear as i really tried my best taking it as clear as possible.
Enjoy!!!
I found 2 type of pattern.

FIRST "Tibee"
It has red translucent body with White thin stripes on body.



SECOND "Tibee"
It has red translucent body with white spots on the head.


Sorry again for the blur and low quality picture as i use what I have at home.

[huizhong]

wow they are interesting! you keep tigers in your tank too?

[rascal]

yes, i have tigers too.

[rascal]

hi guys!! I sold of my king kongs and wine reds last few weeks and will be giving my all my CRS to my friend who just started shrimping
Just have to wait for him to collect his shrimps when his tank is fully cycled and will be redoing my set up!!

I wont be using the same tank(selling it off), but changing the tank to 4ft by 45cm by 45cm which will be done by N30.
I decided to change tank as i believe my current tank with 2ft of height is better for planted tank.

This is ROUGHLY my new set up, need to change a bit but yeah hopefully all goes well.


Thanks for those who have been following my threads and advising me on shrimp keeping!!!

[Fujisasuke]

Hi, i like your design just wondering are you going to DIY the partitions or is N30 including the partitions?

Also, what will be the height of your new tank?

[rascal]

I ask one of the bro in this forum by the thanks the design is nothing and similar to some of the set up here
