The shrimp question

#7042

Some time gone now again …

The shrimps in my Paro tank had been eaten by my last dragonfly larve, I guess, just one male of the simoni left.

I got other ones and put them in my big tank (pH about 6,5-6,7 and conductivity between 100 and 140 uS, I have still too much carbonat in the ground, but still no real black water fish in it) and in a new 36l Tank (pH 4,5, conductivity 30-40 uS).

In the “normal”tank they live, in the black water tank I don’t see much any more…
Perhaps two or three will be around there still.

So I think I will cancel the shrimps project at the moment, it’s the same problem with fish or plants from the trade.
There should be some people who bring them from the Paro habitats and some people must breed them, if we would like to give our Paros Shrimp babies to eat and Shrimps to clean the tank…
