The black shell shrimp cannot adapt to the sudden change of water quality or water temperature, and the mortality rate is relatively high when changing the water. In order to reduce the risk of water change, it is better not to change water frequently, about once a month. In practice, a filter device can be installed in the water tank to help purify the water quality. This can prevent water deterioration caused by not changing water for a long time.
When raising black shell shrimp at home, it is most recommended to use tap water that has been sunned. Black shell shrimp does not require high water quality, and can be fed with tap water. Moreover, this kind of water is relatively easy to obtain, the price is relatively cheap, and it is economical to use it to raise shrimp. However, tap water must be dried before it can be used. Undried tap water contains chlorine, which can be used directly to raise shrimp, which may lead to poor growth or even death of shrimp.
The ability of black shell shrimp to adapt to water temperature is very strong, and it can grow in water between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius. However, in the actual breeding time, it is more recommended to use 24-28 C water. Because at this water temperature, they are more active, grow faster and reproduce more easily. In winter, the heating rod can be used to maintain the water temperature in this range.
