First
Sand or gravel as a substrate?
This is the Crystal's really care and thus a matter of taste. Yes, the shrimp burrow have loved the muck around that is to achieve better in sandy soil because it does not like gravel in the spaces falls, but first, they feed not only on creating come second, with their little arms in almost any space and thirdly there to evacuate even a pebble out of the way when under the smells of food. Besides, a variety of plants in a shrimp aquarium is almost compulsory and what interests a shrimp that looks forward to a large clump of Java moss life, what is underneath. Shrimp are by no means only bottom dwellers and usually you can see them on plants and grazing rumturnen with fondness the forming algae-growth. We recommend black gravel bottom, since a Crystal Red on a dark background looks much more colorful. On a light ground for shrimp and moors from very pale. When choosing for the right ground but please also FAQ # 3. up
Second
Is colored gravel harmful?
There are suspicions that some or colored plastic-covered ground emits substances into the water (softener, etc.) that are lethal to shrimp. Some aquarists report on it, they'd be dead shrimp in the tank regularly. Following the suspicion that it might be up on the bottom, this was replaced with stone ground and apparently there were no other casualties. While this is not yet proven, but the evidence piling up. Who wants to have green or red ground, it will naturally have a hard time, but who like such as black sand or gravel, the recommended times to gaze at the hardware store. There, among other things, crushed stone or grout Split is offered, which is of course first and second unbeatable. Beware of play sand that is sometimes treated with disinfectants and get the shrimp either. But this should be declared on the packaging. It is still said that there are many shrimp farmers who also have no problem with colored gravel, and so we'll have to wait a little longer, until the suspicion relates to specific products. Regardless of which substrate is now used, it should first be thoroughly rinsed with water (except for products such as ADA-ground). top
Third
New plants are in the shrimp pools dangerous?
Recently us an aquarist has reported his total loss of all the shrimp that died within 24 hours after introduce new plants from a pet shop. While we have no personal experience with this problem, but very often read that there are so many sufferers, who report similar. Plants are well-treated by the nursery with all kinds of chemicals to keep them snails and algae-free, fast growing etc. If you then as a newly purchased plant and delivered them right at home in the basin planted, she gives these substances from the water. Apparently, sometimes a lethal dose for our shrimp. It is recommended therefore urgently introduce newly purchased plants from the pool long irrigate at least one week in light. up
4th
Anubia are toxic to shrimp?
The answer to this question is to the best of their knowledge and belief: We believe not. It has been discussed over and over again some aquarists persevere in the opinion that Anubia eg like the cut of the leaves of oxalic acid to the water and then this leads to the death of the shrimp. We have ourselves a basin with several Anubia and observe any problems, not even then, if we cut leaves. A friend has one of those little 25 l - pool and the only plant a huge Anubia. The tank has been running for over a year and kicking it around gymnastics Crystals. Apparently she is the little one, after the light has gone out, even as a love nest, for how could a stork can shove as much shrimp babies into the water. Our conclusion: We have our shrimp tanks where Anubia grow, observed no adverse effects and therefore can not confirm reports of other danger. up
5th
Mopaniwurzeln are harmful?
There are increasing reports of aquarists who report (also called Savannah wood or iron wood) using Mopaniwurzeln about shrimp dying. Even once we have established a pool with these roots and it just do not get that feel comfortable the shrimp in it. They sat around mostly just apathetic and many have died. Only after half a year it got better. We were able to explain the long time since we have had all the tanks relatively similar set using other roots and it had never occurred to such problems. Then we heard a rumor that in Mopaniwurzeln, depending on their origin, possibly heavy metals should be stored and then release the water back. Perhaps it is also due to the sandblasting of the roots are subjected to ... We do not know yet and it remains more than a rumor first. In any case, since we do not at Mopani, better safe than sorry. Moorkienwurzel or mangrove root, we use the way without any problems. up
6th
Copper, lead, fertilizer, medicines and auger means
Since Crystal Red Shrimps like all invertebrates are very sensitive to any type of heavy metals, it is advisable for imminent water change the water that has been standing for a while in the line to drain until some time to properly before it comes to use. At least for those who have copper or lead plumbing in the house. Some heaters can when not planning to leave the copper in it standing water. On the use of drugs and chemicals should be worm when dispensed entirely possible, since much of it is lethal to shrimp. The material in the form of trace elements copper in normal organic fertilizers is generally safe when used correctly. But we recommend to start with half the dose and see the animals well. up
7th
How many shrimp as initial population?
shrimp are group animals, and should therefore be kept in a small group of at least five animals. The well-being of the shrimp is highly dependent on the total number of animals kept. The more, the better they feel. For example, a species tank 54 l we would 10-20 Animals as initial population as a recommended value. up
8th
How many shrimp maximum?
A not very easy question to answer, because we have no information on how it looks in the natural environment of the animals, and which population density can prevail there. With an increasing number of pets but it reduces the prospect of young and the animals grow more slowly. Possibly this is because the animals can not find enough food, the stress to the animals is too big or a natural process attempts to regulate the crop load. In our opinion, the upper limit for such species are a 54 liter tanks, depending on planting at about 100 animals. up
9th
Shrimp in external filters
You just take one of these as a suction tube and drilled pure green of holes, then invaginates to a filter sponge for airlift filter over it and ready. In a 400 gallon tank with us, we have three of these sponges over each other and you have only about once every three months to clean up. In some of our 54 gallon tank is only a sponge and you need only clean every quarter. The small shrimp are not drawn without such a sponge, but that they have not even because they crawl in and by itself when once inside, they do not come by themselves out more. up
10th
Junior interior filter
is what you need to prevent at larger internal filters, because there they can crawl purely peaceful. They have no problem coming back from alone out there, although we doubt that they also want this because it is for small shrimp a joy to sit on a filter sponge and it 'lick'. Only drawback, they can not see you there. But in general there is a risk, because it does not come through the white fleece. With the small internal filters, it is recommended to replace the existing coarse filter sponge by a fine. In order to get a bit of craftsmanship tinkering around but often not because it is the filter cartridges usually are not with fine structure. up
11th
Shrimp that crawl out of the aquarium
Shrimp does not voluntarily 'shore'. They do so only out of necessity Please carefully for conditions in the tank where the shrimp feel comfortable, then you will also even from an open basin never crawl out. Who is watching, then, that his shrimp ausbüxen want and fixes the problem with plug up holes declared himself to Gefangnisswärter ... Better is definitely causes, such as water levels, predators, etc. up
12th
Shrimp in a community tank
shrimp may well also be suitable for many community tanks. With fish of the same size are not too busy and not reproduce the shrimp, there are no problems. Even the young comes in a well-covered pool through largely. Otherwise it may look like with Barschartigen. Here, it can happen that one of his shrimp not too much to get face as the animals back through the plots of the fish and very hidden life. The opinions and observations, go here but differ sharply. There are many who hold shrimp with perch together and complain no losses or to observe abnormalities. Apparently can not make a blanket statement. up
13th
Socialization with Saugwelsen
In the company of Saugwelsen, or armor catfish should be Shrimps at ease. It is assumed that the shrimp. The feces of the animals search for something to eat (similar to filter sludge or sludge) and find suitable food Attempts in this regard, we have taken yet because some catfish over the years but can be quite large. Mostly we do not consider ear grating catfishes of the genus Otocinclus in the pool ... When compared to pools without catfish but so far we could not detect any significant differences. A danger, for example for young shrimp goes, anyway by the catfish is not. up
14th
The thing with the leaves
Often we read the (beech or oak) leaves should help each well may occur Prey ... If so, can not even say with certainty again. However, experience shows that a bunch of moldy leaves (short scalded because of the germs!) Is a feast of joy for our pets is. With great enthusiasm, they pounce on it and sift through everything in detail for something to eat. The decomposing leaves are eaten with time until only the stalks are left. You may enter the leaves and humic acid to the water, which contributes to the well-being of children. Anyway, we in all our pools foliage. Is best to use moldy leaves from a clean river, or collects in the forest a few leaves from the ground. After a few days soaking get under the sheets. Freshly picked leaves are not suitable ... up
15th
Water change and how often?
water change should be done regularly, that is clear. For shrimp aquarium is, more often prefer a smaller amount than 50% every two weeks. Very good experiences we have had, if we every five to seven days, led by about 30% water change with temperature tap water. After the water change, the animals are often particularly agile (pairing swimming). Always check the water run a bit out of the line to allow any overnight in water dissolved copper from entering the pool. In households with water heaters, copper or lead pipes, a not insignificant aspect because respond shrimp, as mentioned above, are very sensitive to the slightest traces of these heavy metals. Depending on the concentration of pollutants, unfortunately mostly with death! up
16th
Eigewöhnung new purchases
If you have the new residents at home at last, they would of course as soon as possible to admire the aquarium. Very understandable, but we strongly recommend with the familiarization with the new water to take some time. The hormone balance of a prawn is very complex and without here now with foreign words like 'osmotic pressure' or 'conductance' throwing around That said, the simple push of pure animals in the basin has been a source of total losses. The hardest part of the acclimation is certainly ignore the devil on his shoulder, that. A constantly whispering "it'll be all right, so pure," everything else is easy Just the bag of shrimp and the water in a bucket and then every 10 minutes a sip of water to the aquarium. Or all drips with a small hose and tap it. After 2 - 3 hours, the double or triple the amount of water in his bucket as. Then you can nets and the kids to the aquarium set. up
17th
How keschert one shrimp?
Actually shrimp are not particularly shy, until the date on which the net is just in front of them. Once or twice they shrug and you could not even see where they are cut off. The best Verdrücker are the green dwarf shrimp that beat violent somersaults and often leave nothing but a stupid face when aquarists. Crystal Red are more easily, the solution is: be careful. Closer you slow the shrimp and you will see, they will crawl all by itself in the net, because they're super curious, even more curious than women: o) Then only slowly to the water surface and that's it. Any sudden movement brought you failure, because they are definitely faster and already it remains empty net. up
18th
From pale to color after transplanting?
There is indeed one or another type that wants the Crystal Red grow properly and will therefore select the pale and not as beautiful or patterned animals. If he will implement it in another basin, it is possible the next day for a surprise. The almost transparent Crawler yesterday are suddenly beautifully colored and one is almost inclined to reset it again. Some remain very pale and can not be changed or want. The reason for this fact is not known to us and it can only be speculated. We could imagine that the population density or the ratio of males and females, which varies so safe in another basin, lies. Perhaps we are therefore also totally wrong. The colors, however, depends obviously very entscheident on the comfort factor of the shrimp, but must allow the genetic predisposition, a blaze of color ... up
19th
Shedding with dwarf shrimp
hides the Crystal Red Shrimp's how to do all your life, after hatching, however, very often, and at the age then every few weeks, as they grow then barely. Crystal young babies are very sensitive, however, and we were able to watch us start by saying that they grew very slowly, and when they shed their skin then wanted, they got the old skin is not detached from the legs and arms and died. Strangely, it is different now, and they grow very quickly. In adult Crystals is the molting process as follows:
The shrimp is sluggish and usually seeks a place in a plant root or near the surface of the water is still not clear to us why, in front of others so that they may rest their shrimp has). Then she turns pale, and their flesh is milky. To approach other animals she is extremely sensitive and is looking immediately for another place. She often sits there motionless for several hours and does not look healthy. This time the body needs to prepare for the molting and the visual change alone shows what a great effort for the whole shrimp. Everything happened very quickly, it curves several times and it looks as if she had abdominal pain, then behind his head at a breaking point burst onto the skin and the shrimp slips out, it looks like someone is tormented in a tight sweater. Then they pumped in water to stretch the new skin, it is still stretched and stretched a few times, then it is fit again and you can also view it properly. The old skin please do not take out of the pool, they will be eaten within a few days of the shrimp and contains a lot of useful substances. up
20th
The shrimp swim very excited about
Nothing to worry about ... The females give when they 'can conceive' are, after skinning, attractants or pheromones into the water, which cause the male to 'upset' in the pelvis after the females look for. This often degenerates into a common 'pairing swimming' from, which involves almost all animals. The males are then behind everything here, which looks only for females ... just like in real life! Sometimes this pairing swimming is induced by the change of water. The fresh water stimulates the shrimp to molt and thus often also to reproduce. up
21st
What to do with an egg-bearing shrimp?
When one first sees a female carries the eggs, the pleasure is usually big and make it often immediately receive a frantic reactions. Unfortunately, some aquarists nets out the female to let it give birth in a separate bowl. We think this is a mistake, because even if the breeding tank is already entered eternal, it can cause the female rejecting the eggs, or even skinned, with all the eggs then go to lost and then moldy. It is best to just let the female in the basin in which it lives. If you want to arise due to expected losses from predators, a well tried spawning box, which may be changed but must be easily recommended. Left and right, many holes drilled, glued in front of a network and you're ready for the incubator. The often large grid in the spawning box can be sealed with a foil. The whole then populate with enough java moss and the small ones can. up
22nd
Ask the young adult animals after?
No, they do not. However, if a small or dies with the molt has problems and begin to smell after 'food', then they all fall on it, but a healthy little one is completely ignored. No Danger to top
23rd
Shrimps are cannibals?
Here is the same as in the previous point. Only a weak or dead animal is interesting as food for the group. Vereinzelnt we observed that an obviously weakened, but still living animal, 'chewed' by individual group members. Not a pretty sight and you should deliver in such a case the shrimp. up
24th
Feeding of young animals
, the small crystals do not have to be fed, for in an aquarium retracted the land of plenty for it already exists. We recommend Java moss, which is the icing on the cake, so to speak, and there are the little ones to be found too often. It is simply the perfect nursery. up
25th
Inbreeding in shrimp?
This theme divorced again the spirits ... Some say, "can not be good" and the other saying, "Never mind." Both Parties may also submit any evidence to support their theory. So, we can only tell our opinion, because we do not have evidence in your pocket and let us therefore also like to teach a lesson ... We believe inbreeding plays shrimp not such a big role, such as in the higher mammals. The main reason we believe is that there are many invertebrate species, which does not even need a partner to reproduce, but can reproduce itself as a so-called hybrid. Those with a different opinion of course, will argue that the generally accepted as the sensitive Crystal Red Shrimp is so sensitive only because she just a 'matriarch' descended and was paired safely constantly in the first time with family members. The problems of inbreeding are indeed known that the genetic diversity is lost and thus the animals are as susceptible to pathogens, it comes to birth defects, etc. We can confirm, though, that the Crystal Red is really sensitive than eg the 'wild' Bee. Also of recurrent abnormalities in any way we have never heard. Our shrimp strain comes from different sources and we are confident in the future of exchanges rumschleichen to strike at pretty animals ... but mainly because of coloring and patterning. Once we have other skills, we will of course make known immediately ... top
26th
Why lose the female egg?
Sometimes the eggs are dropped from the females one by one, or it comes to premature molting, where they will eventually lose them all at once. The reason for this may be infertile eggs. May be due to pheromones of other shrimp species, which are considered together with Crystals, overlaid their own 'pheromone messages' of the females, so the males are ready to mate the female and the eggs can not therefore remain unfertilized. The eggs will lose apparently more common in association with Red Fire (Cherry) shrimp. Quite possibly dominate Art .. of course this is all just a guess from us and not scientifically proven. Problems with which the female can not cope so simple, such as constant attacks by roommate, false water levels, or large water change, etc (50% or more) could be a cause. It's even in the normal case to losses of individual eggs, as some lose their footing, but 3/4 the number should remain at least at the females, otherwise something is wrong. up
27th
Why does not survive the next generation?
There may of course be a number of reasons and we had so our concerns with their children. When the number of hatched juveniles compared with those who really come through, so one could sometimes really shoot the tears in his eyes. Excluding food and predators problems once we had found in experiments with spawning boxes that the juveniles had problems with shedding and the stock within the first two weeks, halved, to a total loss. We now know that the young animals need food ideal conditions just to be able to molt successfully. When we were in Japan and talked to several breeders there, we now use Shirakuras ground and be Aufzuchtfutter Chi Ebi. Since then, nearly all hatched young are highly developed and is thriving. upwards
28th
Snails, flatworms and other pests
These little animals are sometimes even suspected of having something to do with problems in young shrimp. That they might harm this or eat it cooked. We have thought of that, as it with us in the beginning a lot more egg-bearing females were young and later as, for example, bladder snails increased rapidly at this time. Many of these 'pests' we are still some in our pool and we do not even know what it is for that, look as if they came from another planet, but now is the number of "pregnancy" in good proportion to the young and we have never been able to observe that a Junggarnele only came under pressure. In planarians, things look different, we once had a pool with those who have such an arrow head where they had significant problems with the Crystal offspring. We believe that the planarians were involved and if you have watched the shrimp went to work over a carcass, it was one the creeps. Has helped Flubenol which is to get the vet. 0.2 grams per 100 liters and after a short time there was silence. For safety, after 2 - 3 weeks, repeat the treatment as Flubenol can harm the unhatched planarians. But beware, Flubenol also kills many species of snails. up
