水草情迷

Just bought 20 "pearl" shrimps last week but now only 5 of them are still alive. This is my third time buying shrimps. For the last 2, shrimps also couldn't live long. Does anyone know why?

Beacuse your tank is not suitable for shrimps, good answer, isn't it? *just kidding* Actually, you really need to tell us more about your tank's environment, and spieces you have in there.

My tank's config. are the followings:

1. size: 24x14x14
2. ADA brown mud base
3. Ph ~6 and KH~1
4. Plants: "sun grass", riccia, "red butterfly", etc
5. Fishes: 4x小精靈, 6x飛狐

Me 2, The shrimp in my tank also could'nt keep a long time but the others fish was very healthy, It's it related to the Tempotrue. My Temp is 29'C now.

I have same experience in my small tank~
my shrimp die and look "RED"

I have two comment~~

1. not enough oxygen at night... both fish and plant are drawing oxygen away~~.... so in my tank, now I installed air pump also...

2. too hot~~ (not likely)

其實蝦係好易死
我去年七月買了十隻蜜蜂蝦
到現在仍生存的不過兩隻
(我覺得)溫度高必死
另外(我覺得)蝦的生存密度不及魚高
(我覺得)一個一呎缸裏只可養活三至四隻蝦仔
而現在我的兩呎缸裏有兩隻蜜蜂蝦及六隻虎紋蝦(四個月前買入十五隻)
希望佢地可以過到今個summer

dear friends,
any website for shrimps ?
please share. many thanks.

my 15" tank have 20虎紋蝦~~ for 2 weeks
now only 4 left and at the same time, I installed air pump....... for near one week... no more shirmp die..

I am not sure it is the air pump working or is the density lowered to their poper level..

but I also found the death always in the nightime.. within the 5 or 6 hour without light~ so I "Guess" it is the oxygen problem~~

still need more time to try it out.. later if my last 4 is stable, I will try to get some more~~

I think water quality and temperature are definitely the key to keep shrimps alive successfully. I always find that it is easier to keep shrimp alive in winter time due to the lower water temperature.

Many beginners' shrimps died after they were introduce to the tank shortly. I think the main cause of death is the unstable water condition in their newly set up tank. Bear in mind that shrimps are also aquatic creature. Water condition affect them as much as to the fish. So to all the beginners, be patient and wait till the water condition is stable before you put shrimps in.

書話D蝦最好係22~25C環境。凍D都冇所謂。

我在一個月前買左60隻草蝦, 到而家只係死左6~7隻。我想都算係好好成績架拉。

我個缸就係長期Keep住呢個水溫 22~25C 。一星期換一次水,冇偷懶。

開始時還是買些比較易養的藍蝦先啦！
蜜蜂和虎紋都較難養啊(要求比較大)！
我個2呎缸有大大小小(一代接一代)藍蝦共20~30隻啊！
d水有28c~29c呢！

可以買大隻那些珍珠蝦（或稱大和藻蝦）養呀﹐我去年夏天買了四隻﹐至今只是死了一隻。
