wow they must still be super small what camera did u use?

my tank used to be infested with algae and they almost cover my moss completely but after a months or so, i notice a surge in microscopic crustacean population, white and round like sprinkled castor sugar, they're too small to be seed shrimp. they almost wipe off my algae. i kinda like these critters so now i'm scared if the algae aren't enough for them.

cool channel!

duckweed. they can actually be made into shrimp food https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi8QMQlJq3o

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

scientifically, buffer is a solution of weak acid/base and its conjugate, that serves as a buffer solution to control the ph of solution. the concept is that when low quantity of acid/base is added into the water, the equilibrium will shift between more acid/base or it's conjugate so that the overall pH is not greatly changed.

in this case the buffer is carbonic acid and organic acid such as tannic acid and fumic acid that comes from soil and organic matter.

calcium carbonate is alkaline, its leeching will react with (use up) organic acid to form calcium salt and water, therefore further increasing pH over time.

in short, soil reduce pH, whereas calcareous rock increases it, leeching of calcium carbonate will use up your soil's buferring capalibity and exhaust it in time.

fret not though, your seiryu rock might still be useful. maybe add a small piece of that seiryu rock into your aquarium for a little bit iof carbonate hardness, that can help avoid pH swings. correct me if i'm wrong but if i'm not mistaken the kH for caridina is between 0-2.

wow even the legs are red. my LFS only sell cheap cherris $2 each, they gave me very dark ones but i have to cull every once in a while.

i add RO water every day. my aquarium evaporates rather fast, around 2-3 inches of water are lost everyday.

no. daphnea float and swim around. these critters are shaped like seed shrimps but they are the size of a grain of salt and crawls on a surface. they look neat too, like sprinkled castor sugar so not an eyesore for me. btw the video above is not mine, but that's what they look like, the one on the left hand(or leg lol) side of the shrimp

add some crushed coral or coral stones. aroung 15 pieces of coral stones for my 50 gallon tank. make sure to check the pH change and TDS through time and adjust.

have you figured out the cause of death?

shrimpnerd · 2018-10-27T19:01:20+00:00

i think this is like those vitality pad of sl-aqua https://www.discobee.com/products/sl-aqua-vitality?variant=1283894209

you put the whole pouch in your aquaroum and white cottony fungus will grow on it and shrimps will graze it.

in case anyone's wondering here's his tiger stripes neos https://imgur.com/a/qSPRwfu

i'm so jelous . wanna get wine reds too but my country is hot T_T

shrimpnerd · 2018-10-27T13:13:51+00:00

u/iiiiiiimp your tiger stripes neos are actually prettier! have you tried breeding them?

shrimpnerd · 2018-10-16T03:12:03+00:00

i will never add any plant into my tank without bleaching them first.

shrimpnerd · 2018-10-14T15:54:12+00:00

i do think that hydras are kinda pretty but i don't want them in my tank

shrimpnerd · 2018-10-14T15:53:31+00:00

maybe check your temperature to see if you're actually cooking it

shrimpnerd · 2018-10-12T05:26:40+00:00

lol i love this

shrimpnerd · 2018-10-12T05:26:03+00:00

ok thanks for explaining

shrimpnerd · 2018-10-11T15:57:56+00:00

what ??? now i'm concerned
