Sudden interest in shrimp keeping.
As always, seeking the advises from experienced owners here before deciding to venture into it.
Any good low maintain and starter shrimps etc? |

Depends what you like.. Usually shrimps need cold water... but neos are an exception, they can do well in normal temperature but not too hot

No water change, just top up, no feeding at all, the last time I topped up water I counted about 100peices of those with red/orange colour and this excludes the baby ones that have no colour yet. Last edited by AroHong; 20-05-2017 at 01:27 AM. |

Don't get those torture chambers! I still can't accept the idea of eating shitting sleeping in a tiny confined room all my life.
------------ There are quite a lot of good info on shrimp keeping which you can find here and online. Like some shared, it's what you like. Go to some shrimp shops and have an idea of what's available in the market today, maybe ask about their requirements, do your homework before deciding. |

Best way to start is cycle your tank well before adding shrimp, good water is healthy shrimp.
