[istalk]

I live over in Brandon and would like to have some - been in the hobby for many years, but new to shrimp keeping. I have tanks set up for them.

Please let me know

Please let me know


with our chloramine treated water here in florida, the shrimp and snails will die in a new tank. mine all have plants too, so they have babies and more babies!
have your tanks been running with fish and a bit of algae for awhile?

[sandsea]

hmmm. i MIGHT ship, i'd rather not as i'd have to go purchase some styryfoam, boxes and bags etc. i guess it would depend on where and how much it would cost etc.

if you shipped let me know. i will pay for shipping. thanks.

My tanks are established. I have a carbon filter on my water supply. Currently have a number of different shrimp but all small.

I'd love some cherry shrimp and would run up to Clearwater to get them. I live just south of the Skyway, but probably couldn't get up there before Jan 24.

I have a heavily planted 46 Gallon I'd like to put them in.

Can you educate me on Chloramines? Is it going to do the shrimp in if I do water changes from the tap with Prime added?

[Yadokari]

Chloramine is just another thing many, if not most, areas add into their tap water to make it safer for humans to drink. Not all conditioners will eliminate chloramine, although most will and the ones that aren't are switching over (soon I hope).

Prime eliminates it.

[Star_Rider]

most of the newer conditioners break the chloramine bond.. handle the chlorine to get rid of it then lock an H to the NH3 to make it NH4 the safer version of ammonia/ammonium.

[Nolapete]

Chloramine is chemical compound like chlorine used to treat public water supplies. Some municipalities use it, others don't. It is removed from water the same way you remove chlorine by treating it with products such as Prime that remove both. The product must break down the chloramine compound and remove the resulting ammonia as well.

Chloramine does NOT remain in water treated with the correct product, so there are no worries about anything not living in treated water. If there was chloramine remaining, nothing would live in the water.

New tank syndrome on the other hand, which has nothing to do with chloramine, may be responsible. So, don't say it's because of the chloramine (not chloramines btw).
