Shrimp tanks generally need filters, especially if they are ready to breed, good water quality can ensure the survival of young shrimps. For smaller water tanks, you can prepare a water goblin, that is, sponge filter, large water tanks will use more professional filtering, water goblins can only be used as an auxiliary filtering means.
1. Bottom mud: The bottom of the shrimp tank must be covered with mud. If it is not covered with mud, the bottom of the tank will be too slippery, and the shrimp will often be unable to stand steadily. Moreover, the bottom mud can also provide a living place for nitrifying bacteria. In addition to sediment, some aquatic plants are usually planted, such as Mosi or shade grass, which often have low oxygen consumption.
2. Filtration: The filtration of the shrimp tank is not physical filtration, but mainly biochemical filtration. This kind of animal has a high requirement for water quality, organic matter in water is decomposed by heterotrophic bacteria, which will produce a lot of invisible ammonia nitrogen, which is harmful to the health of shrimp, and even lead to its death, and the decomposition of ammonia nitrogen mainly depends on nitrifying bacteria.
3. Light: The shrimp tank is usually planted with aquatic plants. If the aquatic plants want to carry out photosynthesis, they need certain light. In addition to sunlight, light can also be used. Moreover, the lamp can not only be used to fill the light, but also improve the temperature of the water body, which is conducive to the survival of shrimp.
