The ornamental shrimp tank can use a variety of bottom sand to lay the bottom, the common ones are black gold sand, coral sand, black sand and Chaohu sand. These bottom sand generally need to spread 2-3 cm thick, if too thin, it will not be effective. Bottom sand has many benefits, such as preventing shrimp from slipping on the bottom of the tank, providing a place for nitrifying bacteria to live, and helping to purify water quality.
1, shrimp tank treatment: first of all, you need a good shrimp tank to raise ornamental shrimp. Generally, you can buy a finished product tank directly. Such a tank does not need to be disinfected. You only need to rinse it with clean water. If you use self-adhesive cylinder, due to the problem of glass glue, it needs to be treated with potassium permanganate.
2. Water intake skill: After preparing the shrimp tank, the next step is to intake water. If the water intake is not good, it is easy to become turbid and yellow. First of all, prepare a plate, put it on the water inlet of the water pipe, then lay a clean ADA mud bag on the soil at the bottom of the tank, and take a siphon method to feed water, so that the impact of water is reduced.
3. Water raising method: After the water enters, the next step is to raise the water. First, the filtration needs to be started. After the filtration has been running for an hour, the nitrifying bacteria are poured in. The first three days can not raise plants, wait until the fourth day to start planting water plants and other plants into it, and then run for 10 days, providing 8 hours of lighting every day.
4, buy shrimp into the tank: After half a month of water can buy shrimp into the tank, generally buy local shrimp, relatively easy to adapt to water quality. Do not buy back immediately after the tank, open the bag, put the water on the float, to adapt to the temperature, 15 minutes after the tank can be slowly into the water, no problem can be horizontal bag, let the water convection, until the shrimp swim to the tank can be.
