@AesirSovann

I use a Zoo Med mini canister filter with a sponge on the intake. I don't clean the substrate but just siphon some water out (40%) and refill it once or twice a week. I like the Mosura Shrirmp Foods, as well as green beans and other fresh vegetables. For the vegetables I always boil for a few minutes then cool before feeding. I don't know about Chinese algae eaters, I keep them by themselves.

do you breed the CRS? how? just put them in there then they will eventually breed?

@AesirSovann ,

I am raising a bunch of CRS, I started with a couple dozen that I purchased online as small juvenile shrimplets. These I grew up to adults and then, yes they naturally breed. After about 4 or 5 months new shrimplets became perpetual for me. Keeping the water clean and without any ammonia is very important. I am now just about ready to start selling my own CRS, probably starting next week.

Do you use CO2 for your plants? How do you keep them that great? What temperature you have? What kind of light? I ask this because I can´t get to keep all together in good shape.
