hello
how are you
welcome to our channel
in today's video we will go through the
new setup we created for the caradina
golden bee shrimp
if you remember their old tank was the
polidarium from previous videos
now after opening the top of the fluval
edge we will scape it together for the
shrimps first we demonstrate the
cleaning of the tank and the removal of
all previously used soil
with an open top it is considerably
easier
the betas have been relocated to the
polydarium and we will shortly produce
an episode about it because it only
holds six gallons cleaning it is simple
we just removed the plants and substrate
the aqua soil amazonia two used in the
polidarium was scheduled to be updated
anyhow so we will just use akadama for
this
after removing the fluval attachments
this tank has no platform therefore it
is recommended that you add a
self-leveling mat however any yoga mat
would suffice for this tank size cut it
to size and apply it beneath the tank
because we are replacing the filtration
and substrate it is best to continue
using the cycle filter until it is safe
to introduce the shrimps coral media
will be removed since it hardens the
water and activated carbons absorb
nutrients
we discussed the benefits of akadama
soil in earlier videos in this
configuration it serves as filter media
as well as a ph buffering substrate
every 250 milliliters reduces the ph by
0.2 and it works wonders on carradina
shrimp from here on out i'll leave you
with some music to listen to as you
watch

so

and that's it for today's episode having
an open shallow tank makes a great
difference when it comes to producing
and breeding shrimp keep the scape basic
shrimp just want some moss and won't
require a lot of substrate in addition
less substrate implies less pollutants
it's also a good idea to include some
driftwood and anti-fungal botanicals in
addition the wood aids in the formation
of biofilm which the shrimp and larvae
consume
