I do it once per week and my cherries don't appreciate it anyway.Ssnaaiil said:How often and how much water should I change with cherry shrimp in my tank? I know they can be sensitive to new water parameters so I don’t want them dying... I usually do a 70% water change every 4 days with my fish but I don’t think I will be doing that with my shrimp in there.... wondering what others recommended for water changes with shrimps...
TDS is short for Total Dissolved Solids which is made up of inorganic and organic substances and without very sophisticated gear cannot be measured but we can use a tds meter to give us a reading of these collectively, by doing this we can use the reading as a guide to tell us what may be going on in the tank, taking it a little step further I use RO water which as a reading of zero tds so I have to add minerals to the water to raise to my desired reading which then in turn gives me a pretty close approximation of my GH which is the important reading with shrimp, also doing weekly water changes replenishes much needed minerals,Ssnaaiil said:
Mine always fly and jump around the tank when I do a change, even a tiny one like 5% or less when sucking out debris like food, molts or leaf litter. Maybe I mistake their agitation for enjoyment.Sprinkle said:I do it once per week and my cherries don't appreciate it anyway.
