Success after failure! :)

[Yany]

After my abysmal start and failing to keep CRS, I switch to cherries and am happy to announce that finally.... a success. After reading about optimum temperature for CRS, I've decided not to embark in this process as I do not plan to have a chiller. Low tech all the way... i say

I tried many times to upload photos but somehow, it won't let me. So, here's the link to my cherries

(see the little one in front? There are others all around... woohoo!)

This IQ3 is now a fixture in my sons room with a 5 deg temperature fluctuation between night & day. I do notice that they are more active during the night when its cool.

Congratulations..
Hope you will enjoy the process of learning and gaining more experience in shrimp keeping (deep poisoning as well)..

All the best!!!

Congratulations!!! Let's hope i can share my happiness here at the end of the month too....

nice cherries, congrats on your success..greater sense of satisfaction will come when your detachment becomes a battalion. wahahaha

[cheetf]

Well done.

[Yany]

aww... thank you guys
I am indeed poisoned but kena warning from hubby.... no more aquarium. So now, have to be satisfied with IQ3, my 3ft planted tank and my 30cm cube sulawesi (another story altogether). Yes, after a short period, already upgraded many times.... heeheehee. I am kept busy but happy

[eviltrain]

well done. hope you gain more experience from cherries before carry on to CRS.

I ban myself from keeping CRS

I ban myself from keeping CRS

why? don't give up!

[wongce]

yany, let me know if your cherry eats the moss/marimo or not ... Thanks..

[Yany]

why? don't give up!

I think they are too high maintenance... so, go for something that cost less

yany, let me know if your cherry eats the moss/marimo or not ... Thanks..

No, they don't eat moss or marimo. They do take other food like algae wafers and mosura plus (meant for my crs previously).

hey yany, do not have that mindset of crs is really that high in maintenace.. you just need a 5w light ,1 mini hof, and 5w fan and a tank that's all ,my grade As survived for already near 5 month and even got berried...let me find if i still have pictures of my tank i previously taken..

This is the spirit.....
Never give up....

well.... from the posting of some bros here... they leave me with this expression.. LOL. Although I know that simpler setup can be done, still the optimum temperature would be lower than using the fan. I also noticed that the coloration is a lot better with lower temperature. Hence, by my standard, I'm not quite there yet Further more, hubby also ban me from getting more aquariums.... heeheehee. So, for now, have to make do with what I have

Hi Lee, cool.. How long more to go on cycling? I'm still at it, just past 2 weeks... Don't forget to let me know when you want to offload your shrimps. Thanks

Please don't push her into CRS. Even though you have some success. A fan is really not ideal.

By the way, your berried shrimps do you see many babies in the tank?

naah.. please don't get my intentions wrong..I am not forcing her or anything. Just sharing and an encouragement for her , if in future she decides to move into crs..

kermit: The 2ft is just barely 1 week old..not that fast i believe..

No worries, I've mastered the art of patience ever since I've embarked on shrimp journey.

Thumbs up for the bros. Keep trying! And when succeeded got many 'shoik'. Get more poison after that
