After some consideration between Cherry or Amano shrimp, I am thinking of going with the Cherry shrimp.
A few questions;
Tank is high tech Co2 injection and Excel, dosing EI, moderate light, and large water changes.
1. Is it okay to continue to dose Excel? I use 6ml in a 125L tank once per day.
2. Can people recommend a good solution to stopping shrimp getting in the filter intake that won't slow flow?
3. I often perform large (80%) water changes - at least 2x per week- is this an issue with shrimp? To my thinking it will be a good thing as they will be in cleaner water but I read the odd thing about needing to keep parameters 'stable'
4. I have no algae at all so what foods should I be putting in for them?
5. How many should I get as a basic stocking level, is 10 about right?!
Thanks
