1. When choosing shrimps, try not to choose very red and large shrimps, which will mean that your shrimps will not live long. As long as there are no cherry blossom shrimps that are not red, it all depends on how well you cultivate your skills. Of course, the hair color will come sooner or later, and it is also possible to eliminate individual ones with poor hair color. So how can we create good living conditions for shrimp?

2. First of all, the water must be good, if it is soft water. The pH value of our tap water is 6.8, which is perfect for shrimp farming. The breeding tank should be made of old water as much as possible. If there are plankton in the water, the survival rate of the shrimp seedlings can be guaranteed to a great extent (green water can also be added appropriately). Each time the water is changed, 1/5 of the old water is extracted, and when new water is added, the male shrimps will mate immediately. There is deeper sand, such as black gold sand, black pebbles, etc. (boycott Japanese ADA) You will find that redder shrimps generally don’t like to come out and move around, and often hide in dark places. The same is true for black-shell shrimps, which like to hide in In a black environment. There needs to be strong light and a good aquatic environment. An aquatic plant environment with a strong contrast between light and dark is more likely to cause shrimp to develop color. I did an experiment. When Spirogyra was growing in an outdoor tank, I shaded it. I soon found that the color of the shrimp, which was originally very red, became lighter. After removing the shade, the shrimp returned to red in a few days. In addition, the oxygen content in the water will also affect the color of the shrimp. CO2 has just been added when the lights are turned on in the aquarium, the aquatic plants have not yet fully photosynthesized, and the shrimp are not too red yet. When the water begins to be saturated with dissolved oxygen and bubbles rain, the shrimps become much redder. In order to have a high oxygen content, a large tank is better than a small tank, and it is safer and will not cause sudden shocks in water quality.

3． Try to keep shrimps alone and only with some small fish at most. No matter what kind of fish, there are not many small shrimps. Fewer fish is very important for ensuring water quality. With less feed, there will be no ammonia and the frequency of water changes can also be reduced. Since there are no fish in my small tank and there is a lot of ink, I can go several months without changing the water.

4． Old water will bring trouble with planarians, which are deadly killers of shrimps and snails. The solution is simple. You can raise some peacocks or betta fish alone, and the fry they breed will eat planarians and polyps. I raise peacocks fighting with wild round-tails. I put the newborn peacocks into the shrimp tank, and the small round-tails are no more than 1 cm. The tank that was originally overrun with polyps was quickly cleared. Planarians are spontaneous and will be found as long as the water is old, so it is a good idea to raise some peacocks. If they are big, they should be fished out in time. The main treatment for betta fish is polyps. Generally, if you don’t feed live water fleas, there will be no polyps outbreak.

5. The size of the shrimp is directly related to the size of the water body. The adult shrimp in a one-meter tank is only 2 centimeters. My 1.5-meter tank can grow to about 3 centimeters. Sakura shrimp is purified from black-shelled shrimp, so it is not afraid of the cold. It does not need to be heated in winter (not sure about the north). Low temperature can extend the life of the shrimp and give the shrimp a chance to grow bigger.
