Things you need ... for keeping cherry shrimps

[Gerries777]

Hi bro and sis,

Here's some stuff, I bought yesterday to help maintain my nano shrimp tank.



For those Professional shrimp keepers, do let me know if there are other stuff needed. Many thanks.

Well no professional here.

Things that you don't need.... for a shrimp tank are as follows

CO2 tablets - not effective most of the time and no idea what good it does for the shrimp

PH7 calibration solution - a good PH pen will give you the calibration liquid. Normally you don't have to keep on calibrating it.

PH-down - a potential recipe for disaster. Can cause PH to swing drastically if not dosed properly, plus unlikely you will be able to keep the PH at the state that you want.

Lastly, your nano tank. It's not really ideal for keeping shrimps. Small changes in parameters get magnified because of the small size of the tank.

PH down is a waste of money.
Reason is because Cherry shrimp usually prefer higher PH.
