I currently have 3 Ghost Shrimp (Originally 5, I did drip acclimate for an hour.) in an 8.75g Shrimp Tank (Kit from Aqueon) along with 3 Male Guppies who get along quite well, as well as lots of Ramshorn Snails (I added them at the end of the cycle so it wouldn't crash while I was waiting to get the fish and shrimp, they were free from my 20g so win-win.)
I've done my fair bit of research on Ghost Shrimp but have questions about TDS/Water Changes, and R/O water, these are them:
I've done my fair bit of research on Ghost Shrimp but have questions about TDS/Water Changes, and R/O water, these are them:
- How does TDS play into Water Changes? If the TDS is rising out of the 'safe-zone' for Ghost Shrimp am I supposed to do a Water Change to bring TDS down? I just can't find a clear answer really on how TDS and Water Changes play into each other.
- I was looking at getting the R/O Buddie system soon as I hear RO water is best for keeping Shrimp and regulating TDS, but I also hear that tap water is fine for Ghost Shrimp. Is it worth it to use R/O water for Ghost Shrimp? and if it is, what would I need to do to re-mineralize it?
