I converted my unused sauna into the shrimp/moss/plant room. Set 4 10 gals on the bench. Each one is to house separate species of shrimp. So far only 2 of the tanks are holding shrimp. Red cherrys and blue cherry. The other 2 tanks are housing guppy fry until I get more species of shrimp. PH is around 78. No heaters are needed. I have a dual tube florescent light (80 watts total) sitting on top of the tanks. The room is so small it stays a steady 74 with the light. I feed them every other day with a tiny pinch of ground veggie and spirulina (sp?) flake that we mix and crush ourselves. I dose them ever WC with .05 ML of Iodine and firts. I haven't had any more losses since I switched the water conditioner to Prime. |
