Breeding tips

Start and cycle a tank. Take two feet tank(60*30*30 cm / 50 liters of water) as an example:

1. Add 0.5-1 liter of black soil (personal recommend ADA)

2. Prepare a cup of water and add 1/3 spoon of Awood bacteria powder

3. Add 3-4 spoons of Awood shrimp powder/baby food

4. Stir it and add it into the tank

5. Add RO water in and turn on the lights (recommond 8 hours per day) and filters to cycle the tank at least one month.

Do 100% water change after a week

Do 50% water change after two weeks

Do 30-50% water change after three weeks

Do 30% water change after four weeks

Add Awood bacteria powder, shrimp powder, and nutrient liquid everytime you do water change

7. Prepare a cup of water and add 1/3 spoon of Awood bacteria powder

8. Add 1/3 spoon of Awood shrimp powder/baby food

9. Stir it and add it into the tank

10. Add proper amount of Awood liquid mineral (GH increaser)

For my tank (50 Liter), press 30-40 times can reach to TDS 150

13. All set. Add shrimp in!

How to tell the sex：

The size of juvenile shrimp in the shop would be 0.8-1.2 cm. Roughly after 30-40 days, they will be mature and be able to tell its sex. The body of a male shrimp is slimier and also has longer antennae than female. Female has rounder body shape and shorter antennae than male.

Molt：

Shrimp molts whenever they grow. Don't remove the molt. It's one of the best nature food for shrimp. If a mature female shrimp(with saddle) molts, all male shrimp will swim around the tank to trace the female to mate. (This is also called sex/mating dance)
