Hey guys! Me again with more questions!
SO I have a VERY small colony of Neocaridina in my planted nano tank there are currently only 3 of them as I bought 5 and 2 were deformed!!! So they were not added to my tank they were returned to the pet shop which was very sad. ANYWAY there are two red and one blue in the tank atm.
i have read that they do much better in larger groups and I want what is best for them so how many would be good for a 38L? I donāt want them to be uncomfortable in too small a group but also want them to have enough food and space etc. Theyāre kept with CPSs and theyāre not interested in them in the slightest which is great.
the shrimp are actually really brave theyāre not afraid to get out in the open and they happily eat from the substrate and plants. I feed my CPSs cyclops and itās refrigerated so Iām assuming the shrimps eat leftovers from that and anything they find on my wood and plants.
my question for you is - my two red shrimp are looking super coloured up reallt bright lovely red and I have seen a moult from one of them which Iām really happy about. However, the blue one seems to have lost some colour which I am concerned about..... aside from that itās a very active shrimp eating plenty moving around and out and about seems happy enough. Iāve attached photos. Donāt know if Iām being a bit over analytical and worrying about nothing or if I have done something to cause this? Maybe itās a lower grade than the others but any advice you have please send my way! Have also attached water tests from yesterday for you and some photos. My ph is between 7 and 8 and the water is hard where I am but if you need specific reading I can do a liquid test
also if you have any shrimp tips please please send them my way as would love to do the best for them
if you need any more info let me know and hopefully you can give me some answers or advice thank you so mucb
