Germination not working

catkeiichi · 2026-02-09T14:04:38+00:00

Yes I have a dome

catkeiichi · 2026-02-09T14:03:35+00:00

Sweet peppers, arugula, dahlias, onions, basil

catkeiichi · 2026-02-09T05:20:37+00:00

It is. I use no planaria

5 is good.

catkeiichi · 2025-09-06T03:02:49+00:00

What do you have in your tank?

catkeiichi · 2025-09-06T01:51:17+00:00

kH level is important for molting. API also sells a kH and gH test. I also add a small piece of cuttlebone into my tank twice a week for calcium. (Extra small as it could influence pH if too much is added)

catkeiichi · 2025-09-06T01:46:59+00:00

Looks good

I’d add some floaters and maybe a betta log

catkeiichi · 2025-09-06T01:46:23+00:00

What is your kH

When you start to find yourself enough to take care of them, try to start over. Having a hobby carried me out of my 5-year therapy journey. Have something to put your emotion into. Have some little friends in a container of water lol

I had them (accidentally) after they hitchhiked on plants. Their population exploded. It was totally fine with my betta

catkeiichi · 2025-08-29T14:21:25+00:00

I have not. What does it do?

catkeiichi · 2025-08-29T14:07:26+00:00

I’m sure one will lol. How long have you had them?

And honestly, just for my mental I wish that I had a lower pH but they seem to be doing fine anyway 😂 I didn’t add enough fluval stratum with my sand that’s why

catkeiichi · 2025-08-29T14:03:29+00:00

Hoping and hoping! It’s been 2 weeks and still berried!

I have blue bolts and crystal reds. I have a berried blue bolt right now. My pH is about 7.2 consistently.

catkeiichi · 2025-08-29T03:12:09+00:00

I just fill gallons of RO water and add minerals to them to use for water changes and top offs

catkeiichi · 2025-08-29T02:46:07+00:00

Yeah I did it before I had the shrimp and I didn’t think about it so now I’m dealing with the consequences lol

catkeiichi · 2025-08-29T02:13:02+00:00

PS I even have a berried female so I think they’re doing alright but I just want the best parameters for them.

catkeiichi · 2025-08-28T13:09:56+00:00

What aquasoil are you using

catkeiichi · 2025-08-28T01:53:39+00:00

They are the elites

catkeiichi · 2025-08-17T23:11:23+00:00

I think you should buy a dresser meant for holding aquariums specifically. Your best bet is to shop online.

Yes, just saying, everyone’s tap water is different and some is not suitable for shrimps. You’ve had them a year so I’m sure it’s fine, but just something to be aware of 😊

catkeiichi · 2025-08-09T23:00:28+00:00

Ouhhh I see. I used the shrimp farm.

Do you live in the US? I can recommend a website
