Besides, the informations that are given by the shrimp-lovers are ambivalent and partly wrong. They concentrate fully on their shrimps (as we do on our Paros) and are not interested in their capacity to tolerate extreme water conditions but to describe the ideal conditions for them. So the conclusion is as I said before: We do not have the right shrimps up to now. If some tolerate our values it’s a matter of compromise.[/quote]
I don’t disagree with you in the matter that many “recommendations” of hobby enthusiasts (regardless of whether fish or shrimps)are to be taken with a grain of salt … 😉
But some information pages in the web seem to contain valuable advices. E.g., here water values from the locality are given ……. that’s why I think that the Sri Lanka dwarf shrimp might be worth a try. I am much more concerned by the also mentioned possibility of the shrimp being spawn consumers ……..
