The Only Video You Need To Watch About Neocaridina Shrimp Tank Water Changes

#aquarium #nature #shrimptank

Water changes are very important for maintaining a healthy shrimp tank. Replacing the water has a few benefits including but not limited to lowering nitrates, adding more calcium, required for healthy molting and shell growth, reducing free-floating algae and reducing tannin colour from blackwater tanks.

Signs you need to change water include failed molts, climbing nitrate levels and dirty looking water.
A rising GH value could be an indication the new water has a bit too much calcium, and could eventually cause molting problems. The extra calcium causes the shrimp’s exoskeleton to grow harder than normal, and they then get stuck in their molt. Nitrates should be kept under 20ppm to keep your shrimp happy and healthy. If you find it’s steadily climbing, then you should probably increase your water changes a little, or add floating plants to absorb them. Dirty water is another sign you should change more water. Over time, more dirt and waste dissolves into it and can make it look unclean. Free floating algae in the water can give it a green tint, replacing a portion with fresh water will reduce this. You may also just need to clean your sponge filter more often.
