I had bought 1 month back about 20 cherry shrimps from local fish shops at Clementi (C238).
I done the following.
- Transferred some "cycled" water from the other fish tank into a new tank.
- Put in new water + few drops of "de-chlorine" solution
- Put in 2 bags of blackish blue stones (look light blue when in water)
- Put in 2 sponge air bubble filter (shrimp friendly)
- Put in the Cherry Shrimps (Very hardy for this species)
- Put some Taiwan Moss or ferns in
- Put a 55 Watt lights on top
- Put a overhead fan and on it 24/7
- Put a digital aquarium thermometer inside and make it below 29 degree Celsius
- Feed the cherry shrimps with "Japanese" label food found in C238 twice a day
- If found moldy food, fish it out.
- Wait for them to breed!!!
This is what I have right now!
