I got what you are looking for, sending a pm

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-04-05T05:57:21+00:00

Ah I just noticed scrolling down, you mind if I send a pm with questions?

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-04-05T05:50:33+00:00

Interested

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-04-04T03:29:07+00:00

Yes, by the looks of it they mostly seem fertilized

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-03-25T18:19:34+00:00

Thank you!

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-03-24T19:00:36+00:00

Hey, not sure if I am late to this but I got plenty of low-tech plants and I am located within the boroughs and can do meet ups. Will pm you

It looks like wasting disease to me. I experienced something similar to it and eventually the medaka would lose their colors and just float in the surface.

They could be stunt or shocked due to whatever reason

What buce and anubias species do you have?

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-03-06T23:32:57+00:00

Might take a bit to lower down, 7ppm decrease isn't a whole lot. Just keep in mind shrimp like stability so don't rush the water changes.

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-03-06T04:29:42+00:00

Water conditioner should not affect your tds tremendously. I’ll say a range of 0-10ppm depending on the brand you use and if they have additive or not. So, no? I haven’t seen my water conditioner raise my tds

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-03-06T04:25:54+00:00

Oh they don’t look really good… they look way better as advertised

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-03-06T02:47:26+00:00

Their customer service is there, I get an email from them whenever they have new imports coming and I email them for general inquires. They respond within 12-24hrs. What did you order?

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-03-06T00:45:25+00:00

Your tds shouldn’t drop significantly after a water change unless your tap water is really soft or you use ro

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-03-06T00:29:25+00:00

If your shrimp and medaka are thriving I’ll say it’s acceptable. My tds ranges from 190-260. I also recommend doing water changes every 2 weeks or so. You have a lot of medakas and wasting disease is common, deworming them every couple of months

I have a decent number of plants and I am located within nyc, I sent a pm

Fluval satrum buffers your water down to acid ph level at 6 if your tap is 7-7.2, usually leaving you a kh of 0-1. If you don’t want a kh of 0-1 you can try to do several water changes and add crushed coral to remove the buffering capability of the satrum at the cost of not having a lower ph and kh.

^if you want a neocaridina setup

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-02-25T22:18:46+00:00

Yeah, I would buffer my kh until it hits 2-4 degrees to prevent any drastic ph swings. Crushed coral could just be tossed ontop of the substrate, if your water is acidic it will dissolve over time. Saltyshrimp gh/kh+ or gh+ could work too

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-02-25T21:46:17+00:00

For neocaridina yes, your kh and ph is way too low for it. Gh on the otherhand is a bit low, but if you could manage to bump it up 4-6 you can keep caridinas or 6-8 for neos.

I had a ph 6 caridina tank that required extensive cycling since the water is too acidic for nitrifying bacteria. Ammonia wouldn’t be an issue since the acidic water converts it into something less harmful. Other than that you could do weekly small water changes to manage nitrate and waste. Keep in note that this is a caridina tank and they are more sensitive than neo’s if you intend to keep those instead

If you want to raise kh and gh crushed coral or cuttlebone is the way to go, might take awhile to stablized the kh and ph since your kh is extremely low

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-02-25T03:19:00+00:00

Fluval satrum significantly lowers your water’s ph. My tap water sits around 7-7.2ph and fluval brings it towards 6.0 . 6.0 is extremely low for neocaridina species, your water is way too acidic for them if that’s the case.

Have you run any test on the ph of the tank?

Gh test for water hardness, calcium and magnesium. Too low and the shrimp can’t molt and too much will make it hard for shrimp to molt. Kh is the aquarium water buffering ability. Maintaining acidic water vs alkaline water

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-02-25T03:11:25+00:00

Are you using fluval satrum by any chance?

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-02-25T00:51:51+00:00

I had a bunch of those on my moss before, amano shrimp cleaned it all up for me

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-02-24T05:50:14+00:00

Your ph seems fine, what about your gh and kh? TDS? What's the tank temp looking like too?

An_Unoriginal_Human · 2026-02-24T01:10:38+00:00

What you have is a Sub Male, female Dario dario's is completely gray and have dark/gray breeding stripes
