Hello! I need some advice about the results from a gh/my water test I just did with the API kit!
I have a 7 gallon shrimp tank with around 20 cherry shrimp, heavily planted, there are some floating plants, lots of Java moss, a bonsai and Indian almond leaves. I’ve had this tank for around 8 months now and I have NEVER had one breed! that makes me incredibly sad because my goal is to breed them.
my parameters:
Ph: around 8.2
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrites: 0ppm
Nitrates: <5ppm
Gh: 8 (?)
Kh: 11(???)
TDS: around 160ppm
so is my kh result normal????? I feel like that’s a bit high but again I’m not sure! Every time I got my water tested, my LFS told me my water hardness was fine and that they should breed but...no such luck! I just want some shrimp babies.
what do you guys think? Any help is greatly appreciated
