Shrimps questions

chorkeat · 20-12-2006, 12:56 AM

Just started a shrimps tank, currently having Cherry and low grade CRS. Planted with moss. Filtration by Ehiem Eco 2233. Have 2 questions here hope the seniors can help..

1. Why is my shrimps not taking the pallets I throw in? Tried 2 different types and even dried blood worm, but they seems to ignore them.

2. Why my Cherry like to hid at one corner, behind my moss wall. They dont seems to move around much, unlike the CRS.

Thanks.

Maybe it is a new setup & the shrimps are not used to it yet...

Give it a few days & see what happens...

Tagging on this thread .... hope thread starter dont mind

When the CRS only begin to start molting, what should be her colour.

Also the red partion of other CRS turn more like brown. Is this a bad condition indication?

i believe ur set up is new... and the shrimps are also newly introduced.. and!!!

there are tons of food partical in the tank that they prefer to feed on then to take pellets...

when the food runs out they will take ur food pellets

They are fine now, i guess my water current is too strong so they tend to hid a the corner where the current is less. I redirect the rainbar and now they are no longer hidding.
