Technology of cultivation of such genus of shrimps as Neocaridina and Caridina, with success it is possible to apply also to Crystals, Bees, Bumblebees, Tigers, Cherries and Caridina spp. green. But for a start it is necessary to define what for this purpose will be required to you.
It is required to you
- - aquarium;
- - filter;
- - plants for an aquarium;
- - shrimps.
Instruction
1. Pick up an aquarium. Depending on quantity of shrimps, it can be both 10 liter, and 30 liter.
2. Choose the spongy filter. It is possible to use only the "started" type because it the most harmless for shrimps.
3. Buy a large number of plants: moss, Thai fern, richchiya, Anubias Bartera dwarfish, Vodokras frog and others.
4. Depending on the region in which you live buy the regulator of temperature or the fan. They are necessary to maintain constant temperature in range from 21 to 25%.
5. Buy shrimps of different floors of corresponding age. The biggest complexity is sex determination of a shrimp. Cherries reach puberty at the age of 3.5 months, and Caridina spp. green – 5 months. To define their sex it is necessary to know many nuances, for example, at of both sexes shrimps of the Bee and a sort Crystals an identical shape of a body. It changes only when begin to bear caviar for the first time. Besides, at the first stages to see their caviar very difficult.
6. After a choice with a genus of shrimps is made, place them in an aquarium with a set of secluded places. To remove a forage which remained unfinished use snails. As filters apply above-mentioned a richchiya or Vodokras frog. They will be also sources of vital oxygen (richchiya). And the moss will be food for adult and young individuals. Besides, plants will create a cosiness and sense of security in an aquarium.
7. For several weeks do not create stressful situations to shrimps. You feed them with food which contains fats and proteins in a large number: the artemidiya frozen, the qualitative granulated forage, a Cyclops. Such food is necessary in order that females could produce caviar. Do not give a lot of food – it will not be eaten completely, and the remains will decay or it will be eaten by snails, but you were going to part not them.
8. Wait a little until you notice pregnant females. On it days or even weeks can leave. Caviar of a shrimp is born by about 3-4 weeks, and then from it tiny shrimps appear. They eat humus or a forage, found in a moss. They grow to the sizes of an adult shrimp for several months. It depends on quantity and food quality and on water replacement (once a week). Change of water leads to their fading, and it, in turn, stimulates growth. To avoid overpopulation it is not necessary to hold teenagers and many whitebaits together.
