SHRIMP & DAPHNIA::
10+5 �cherry red� neocaradina shrimp & 30+ �Russian red� daphnia. Here is a YouTube video showing one of my tanks: Neocaradina Shrimp & Daphnia Combo
Free Item: I keep over 100 aquarium plant varieties, always have extra of something, and will include up to two small portions for free. Currently available: salvinia minima, frogbit, riccia fluitans, pearlweed, anacharis, and corkscrew val. Place the plant(s) you select in the �notes� of your Paypal payment. If you don�t select a plant I don�t include any.
There is nothing special beyond a standard shrimp tank. I care for my shrimp like typical and the daphnia benefit from that without additional care. In fact, the reason I offer this combo of shrimp & daphnia is every shrimp only tank I keep, over one dozen, all contain daphnia. If you have a light on the tank, feed the shrimp, the daphnia will thrive without additional care.
This combo of shrimp & daphnia is so fascinating, I dedicated my office 75 gallon, high-tech display tank, to shrimp & daphnia. The best part of this tank, being daphnia are translucent, they glow at night if red or blue LED lights are used.
Russian Red Daphnia: This species of daphnia is one of the largest. I�ve kept this strain for many years, indoors & outdoors, compared it against many other strains, with this being the superior. Generally, I find the larger daphnia easier to keep. These are the size of a dry pea and large enough to graze for their food, making them perfect for a shrimp tank where we encourage a biofilm.
Cherry Shrimp: They are easy to keep, attractive, and so productive I frequently use them as fish food.
GUARANTEE:
If DOA I send one replacement at no cost. Please don't file a return as that usually adds additional steps for us both - just send me a picture and I will send another.
For most of the trip a package is in temperature controlled environments and safe. The most vulnerable time for a package is while it�s with your local carrier or sitting in your mailbox. Prior to ordering, watch your forecast the following week, for cool & overcast weather. Then, meet the mail carrier and take the package from them directly. If placed in your mailbox, or left in the sun, it will bake within minutes.
SET-UP:
Key to the safest startup is raising the organic level and giving that enough time to cycle completely. When you are watching/reading content on shrimp & daphnia you will see/hear references to bio-film, biome, micro-organisms, cycle, etc, which is the product of decaying & decayed organic matter. The more organic matter that is allowed to fully decompose, creates a more stable biome, and generates naturally occurring food for the shrimp & daphnia.
Steps:
Start with the standard setup: water, gravel, sponge filter, small plant, heater set no less than 65 degrees, and a light. Driftwood and snails are helpful.
Water:
A: Fish Tank: Water from a hydra free fish tank is ideal and requires little cycling time.
B: Tap: Both these organisms have a sensitivity to chemicals in treated water so age your water appropriately.
Over the course of cycling add a few doses of fish tank mulm and allow it to decay. �Mulm� is the debris you vacuum from the bottom of your fish tanks. As it decays it turns into your biome.
