Fish guppies are the easiest fish for breeding and can reproduce in a short time only. The most important thing here is to keep the pH of the water and be where the fish breed and how to feed the fish.

Water suitable for fish guppiesSome people think just the fish alone, the only water park in her will to live. Fish must have water, but water pH she was there. I always use anti chlorine according to a given measure. Fish can not live in chlorinated water or tap water.

If you want to use tap water, to keep down for 2 or 3 days, so that the chlorine is gone. Another way is dependent on rain water shall be well. For me, I did not measure pH with a pH measuring instrument, but adequate follow the syllabus of anti chlorine or use only rain water or filtered water.

Maintaining Ornamental Shrimp

Ornamental Shrimp Conservation Tips
Four important things to note, before keeping ornamental shrimp: 
  • Good aeration .
  • Cycle a great aquarium (aquarium filter is adequate and mature) .
  • Does not include plant "dirty", the new etc.
  • Do not add too many addictive substances.
Preparation of materials: 
  • Aquarium (minimum length 60cm) 
  • UGF filter (personal recommendation) 
  • Canister (optional) 
  • Aerator (if not wearing a canister) 
  • Power head (if not wearing a canister or aerator) 
  • Soil / substrate / sand - Read recommendations substrate 
  • 0.5 x volume of aqua lights. For example aquarium 90liter - 40-45 watt lamps (personal recommendation)

Having the right setup is very important for ornamental shrimp, this is one determinant of your ornamental shrimp populations.

An aquarium is mature (well cycled) usually takes about 30 days of initial setup. Of course, this process can be accelerated by using the old media into the new aquarium. But this is not recommended unless you are sure that the media of the old aquarium is really safe, because the old media may contain unknown parasites or viruses that can be harmful to the shrimp.

Instead, it would be better to include a variety of bacterial powder, nitro-baster, bio-bacteria, or even some basic fertilizer for aquarium. Try as much as micro-and macro-organisms can breed in the aquarium.

There are many models for shrimp aquarium setup. The main difference is its average in the filtration (the filter used). 

  • Under gravel filtration (UGF) is supported by the canister. 
  • Filtration using a sponge 
  • Filtration using a HOB (hang on back)
  • A combination of filtration canister
My favorite is the under gravel filtration using a power head or the aerator. Combined with a canister or UGF. My recommendation if sufficient budget, please use the UGF + Canister, but if you can use to setup middle UGF with power head or aerator.

Installation sequence is:
  • UGF (under gravel filter)
  • Cover with mesh
  • Substrate / Soil / Sand - (read the recommendation of substrate)
 Do not forget to keep the temperature at 24-26
