Filter!


    • Hello, I am from canary island and i would like to know what filter is the best for the shrimps, i have now red crystal, black crystal and sakuras. I hear that the best sustrate is red bee sand (shirakura), is really the best, can you recomend me another, thanks. What`s the parameter you have the shrimps, becasuse i have read to many thins, thanks again.
    • Hi and welcome, how nice to have you here!
      Many people have an under gravel filter in their shrimp tanks, often air-driven or connected to an external filter or a motor pump (noticeably to a powerhead made by AquaEl). Others prefer a Hamburg mat filter (which is basically a filter mat with a powerhead or an air-driven filter behind it) or a simple internal filter (shrimp-safe, though!). I personally have hang-on filters in my nano tanks, Dennerle internal filters (not with the original filter fleece but with either filter mat pieces or Siporax), and for my large tank I have an external JBL filter.

      For keeping and breeding bee shrimp and Taiwan bees, besides RBS you could also use Akadama or ADA soils - if you want an active soil. Many breeders here have come to prefer a neutral soil though, they just adapt their water. RO water (or demineralised, or rainwater) plus mineral salt especially developed for bee shrimp is more predictable than an active soil, and the shrimp keeping community overall is quite enthusiastic about this newly developed mineral salt. Look for Salty Shrimp.
      No idea whether there are dealers in your corner of the world, though, but there are two stores in mainland Spain that carry it: saltyshrimp.de/online_shops_haendler.php

      Your Sakura ought to do fine in tap water (dechlorinated, of course!).

      Cheers

    • Hello,

      I also think that Ulli has answered the questions well. Maybe not be the reason why so many answers.

      And yes, the ph is ok. It is enough if he moves in slightly acidic environments. For the successful keeping and breeding of bees, the whole shrimp in the aquarium, the biological implications are responsible. Not only the water levels are crucial here.

      greeting

    • No problem, i understand, and thanks for yours replys. i can see that many peoples talks about the shirakura soil and adadama, but i am using shrimp soil of aquaticnature, someone that can tell me if its perfect for the shrimps?, and thanks to all the people, is a good foro.
    • Hola Tiegars, muy buen español, jajaja. Here, the weather is wonderful, but to us make a little cold, but all they with sun, jajaja. Red sakura, did you like the island, i imagine the weather was good for you. When you come again advice me, i show you the island, jejeje. I was in german two years ago, i was near of hamburg, is a very beatiful country, it was incredible for me. What kind of shrimps do you have? For us is very complicated to keep the taiwan shrimps.
    • Hi
      Yes the wather was very good.
      I have many shrimps, but i havn't got Taiwan Bees.
      I have Red Fire Sakura, Orange Fire, Yellow Fire, Red Rili, Red Bees, Amanoshrimps, Deep Blue Tiger and "Algengarnelen" (it's german)
      I think you can't send shrimps to you, because of the Long Time and the customs. I think because of that the Taiwaner are very rarely by you.

    • Hola, pues el ingles no lo se escribir muy bien por eso te contesto en español. Yo uso para mis camarones akadama. Primero es mas barato que el "RedBee Sand" y hace lo mismo. Yo tengo en mis aquarios TaiwanBee en Akadama. Hasta ahora no he notado nada negativo. Lo unico que hay que hacer es lavarlo muy bien antes. El akadama lo puedes comprar en tiendas de bonsai.

      Saludos Javi
