Hello Everyone,
I am new here and was after a little help and advice.
A couple years ago i attempted to keep CRS, i failed miserably!!! I done a lot of research before keeping them and thought i knew what i was doing. I bought a good substrate, used Mosura products and used RO water. About £700 and 60 dead shrimp later i gave up.
Almost a year ago i decided to try again. This time i used normal gravel and Benibachi products, again with RO water. Everything has been going great, i started with 20 shrimp and added another 20 about 2 months after, i did not quarantine the new shrimp and had a slight bacterial outbreak, i used a product called shrimp emergency that worked wonders. I was left with 27 shrimp and they were all breeding well, eating well and looking healthy. From the 27 left i know have roughly 120, probably more but i get bored of counting
My parameters are all good and stable, ph 6.4, GH 5, KH 0 and TDS 120. The problem i have now though is they have stopped breeding. I added some breeding liquid to the tank which worked for a couple months, i seemed to have a new pregnant shrimp each day. But now i fear they have got used to the breeding liquid and it is no longer working. Any ideas what could be stopping them from breeding?
Thanks for listening.
