1. Prepare a breeding box: If you want to breed crystal shrimp, you need to prepare a breeding box first. The box does not need to be too big, with a length of about 60 cm, width and height of about 40 cm. When you are ready, you need to put it in a place where there is no strong light. After that, a layer of aquarium mud should be laid at the bottom of the box.
2. Pour water into the box: The breeding of crystal shrimp has certain requirements for water. It is recommended to use water with GH value between 4-6, PH value between 6.2-6.8, TDS value between 150-220 and water temperature between 24-26 ℃. After the water is ready, pour them into the jar and plant a small amount of water plants.
3. Choose the kind of shrimp: After preparing the box and water, you can choose the kind of shrimp. Healthy and adult shrimps should be selected, and good genes should be selected if conditions permit. You can prepare more kinds of shrimp for each reproduction. The ratio of male to female can be controlled at about 1:2 or 1:3.
4, breeding: putting the selected seed shrimps into a breeding box to keep the water quality stable. After a period of time, the male and female shrimps will mate with each other on the abdomen. After 1-2 weeks of successful mating, the young shrimp can hatch out.
Under artificial breeding conditions, the crystal shrimp can breed all year round. It's just that individuals that are too small can't reproduce. The young shrimps will not have reproductive ability until they grow to about 1.6-1.8 cm. A shrimp can reproduce 5-6 times a year, on average, once every two months or so.
