Water changes are very important for maintaining a healthy shrimp tank. Replacing the water has a few benefits including but not limited to lowering nitrates, adding more calcium, required for healthy molting and shell growth, reducing free-floating algae and reducing tannin colour from blackwater tanks.
Signs you need to change water include failed molts, climbing nitrate levels and dirty looking water.
A rising GH value could be an indication the new water has a bit too much calcium, and could eventually cause molting problems. The extra calcium causes the shrimp’s exoskeleton to grow harder than normal, and they then get stuck in their molt. Nitrates should be kept under 20ppm to keep your shrimp happy and healthy. If you find it’s steadily climbing, then you should probably increase your water changes a little, or add floating plants to absorb them. Dirty water is another sign you should change more water. Over time, more dirt and waste dissolves into it and can make it look unclean. Free floating algae in the water can give it a green tint, replacing a portion with fresh water will reduce this. You may also just need to clean your sponge filter more often.

Cherry, cherry... How important is the usage of montmorillonite ? I am New to keeping shrimp. I use RO and the appropriate salt. Seams "fine" the short time I been doing it. Because on the salt it states: "Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 Contains all important minerals and trace elements the well-known shrimp species from this region needs for their health, wellbeing and coloration." So adding on top of that "montmorillonite" seams to be unnecessary and wasteful?

@BobMossNanoTanks Год назад

It is not necessary at all, to be honest. It's just a nice additive for them. It contains a TON of micronutrients that aid in molting and development of their exoskeleton. Also, are you keeping neos with the sulawesi minerals, or do you have sulawesi?

What is the pH of your tap water? Mine is 10 from a limestone lake, so I assume I will have to use RO... or acid buffer.

Should I match TDS in the tank when adding new water? My TDS is at 268 right now so I'm worried it will get too high! Or should I do a minimum TDS of 130? Im not sure if i match it exactly or not? I want to.switch to RO water but have no clue what im doing.

Please help with my recent neo shrimp deaths. Hi all, I've had a noticeable increase in neocaridina shrimp deaths over the last 3 days, and my shrimp seem overall less active. In that time, I've seen 4 dead shrimp, which is waaayy more than usual. (Normally I only spot 1 dead every few months- I'm sure they gobble up the other natural deaths before I even see them.) What could be going on? I've had this planted shrimp tank established for 9 months, and I've never had problems before. There are no other inhabitants other than a few pest snails, and I've never seen planaria. I've gotten this tank balanced to the point where it is nearly an ecosystem tank where I only replace evaporated water with distilled water every few days. I feed only once or twice a week, but I fluff up the gravel substrate daily with a turkey baster so the shrimp can access their poop and other biofilm buried in the gravel. I've been very successful with this method maintaining a healthy population of roughly 50 shrimp in my 5 gallon. I've never seen any ammonia or nitrites in the tank. Nitrates I keep at 20ppm for the plants. My water quality (TDS, GH, KH, pH, chlorine) is consistent with how it has always been. The only thing I can think of that I did "differently" was put in a new oak leaf for them to munch on about a week ago. I always have an oak leaf in the tank, and I've used leaves from this batch before without issue. I removed the new leaf in case it was releasing something I can't identify on testing, and I did an emergency 50% water change yesterday. Normally I would never change this much water, but something was clearly wrong with my shrimp so I felt justified this time.

@BobMossNanoTanks Год назад

So, there are a number of things that might be effecting your shrimp but I will try my best. It is possible that you are getting a small TDS creep by not doing water changes, making the water harder and harder over time. This could prevent them from molting properly, causing deaths. Honestly, I would stop messing with the substrate so much. There is a chance you disturbed it a bit much, releasing some bad bacteria into the water column which could have caused deaths. 20ppm nitrates is the max you want for shrimps, you could trying lowering this a little, maybe to 10ppm and see if that helps. I never get a nitrate reading in any of my tanks because the plants uptake it so fast. If you are worried about a toxin from the leaf, you are going to want to add some activated carbon to remove that completely. If it were me, I would dose some Prime to neutralize any toxins, do a 30-50% water change like you did and continue observing. If more die, I would add the carbon near your sponge filter. Between those two steps, it should honestly solve most issues. Let me know if you need more tips!

@jonfranklin9361 Год назад

Cherry cherry something something, great advice. I’ve never checked my gh/kh. I try to keep my tds at 200. Is gh/kh. something I should check monthly? I do water change one a month 30 percent. Shrimp seem ok, molt just fine.,

@BobMossNanoTanks Год назад

If you are using tap water, kh/GH readings are more important than TDS. The tap water can contain flourise, chlorine etc. That all effects the TDS but the kh/GH readings will tell you exactly what's in your water.

Love this! I just started keeping neos about a week ago, they’re doing great. This video has been super informative. However, my tank has biofilm growing, but I don’t see any green algae growing on the walls despite keeping the lights on for about 7-8hours a day. Bought Bacter Ae hoping to increase the growth of algae:/ I have also been noticing worms in my tank, did a ton of research, they’re not planaria, just some detritus worms. They’re so unsightly to see and I’ve tried to vacuum the substrate with a turkey baster, but I still see them on my aquarium walls daily. Couldn’t be a lack of oxygen as I do have a sponge filter and a air stone at the corner plus my neos seem to be doing fine with no deaths yet in a week. How do I control their population or get them back into the gravel? I feed my neos algae wafers daily because of the lack of algae growing on the walls, but I remove any uneaten food after 3hours. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong Keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks man

@BobMossNanoTanks Год назад

Ok so the detritus worms are most likely caused by the slight over feeding. I would go down to feeding every other day at most to limit the worms. As for the biofilm / algae, don't worry so much! They actually don't really eat algae so not having it isn't a problem. Biofilm is that slime that covers all the surfaces of things in the aquarium, you don't really see it but it is there. If you REALLY want algae, do 12+ hours of light and use some liquid fertilizer.

First time setting up a 'trimp tank myself, and I've been surprised by how hardy they are. Went with cherry reds just because I have read they are the most beginner friendly. I wanted to setup a CO2 tank with EI fert dosing so I am doing 50% water changes weekly (with a slow refill via air pump tubing) since I setup the tank 4 months ago. But so far all my shrimp seem happy, no deaths, and the females are berried so I'm looking forward to the babies crawling about. Are the baby shrimp more sensitive to changes than the adults? Or since the babies are captive bred will they be good to go with the continuing 50%?

@BobMossNanoTanks Год назад

So it's kind of weird with baby shrimp. They are both sensitive and hardy, as weird as that sounds. I've seen them survive in cycling tanks with 5ppm ammonia, but if they don't have enough biofilm to graze on they die very quickly and you'll never notice. I would say you're probably fine to continue to do water changes the way you are. Consistency is key with shrimps.
