Water quality is particularly important for raising ornamental shrimps. If the water environment is relatively poor, the shrimps will easily die. Therefore, there must be filtering equipment in the aquaculture tank, including physical filtration and biological filtration, physical filtration can discharge suspended particles in water, biological filtration is mainly to decompose residual bait and excrement, and at the same time can convert them into harmless substances for shrimp.
Ornamental shrimp often have a high demand for oxygen, so they need to be equipped with oxygen-increasing equipment, the most common is the oxygen pump. The oxygen pump can oxygenate the water and improve the dissolved oxygen in the water body, which is very helpful to the health of the shrimp. It can be opened for several hours every day, and it does not need to be open all day.
Unlike fish, shrimp is very sensitive to changes in water temperature, so be sure to keep the temperature. With the heating rod, the temperature can be more conveniently controlled, the temperature is kept between 22 and 24 deg C, the breeding period can be raised to 25 deg C, but the temperature can not be continuously raised, and the female shrimp can not spawn if the temperature exceeds 28 deg C.
Raising ornamental shrimp still needs some aquatic plants, on the one hand, it can be used as food for shrimp, on the other hand, it can also provide a place to escape. Moreover, shrimp are vulnerable to attack when they are shelling, and with aquatic plants, they can shade themselves.
