  1. When I hear beta I assume you were keeping it in a small tank. The issue with bamboo shrimps is that they are filter feeders. They get all of their food from the water column. So you want to have a larger tank and very good water flow. They need to have places to sit and just filter feed, ideally directly in the outflow of your filter(s). I don't believe I've heard of anyone breeding them before, I'd assume their young require brackish water like with many shrimps. Pre-made food would be ok if it is in a powdered form. They wont be able to eat it otherwise. I've owned them before and they only lasted a few months. I don't think I had enough water flow for them; so learn from my mistake haha.

  2. I'm sure using peat in some form would be a safe way to lower the pH a bit more if you need to. You could also add some Indian Almond Leaves. I'd avoid CO2 as it would surely only complicate things and possibly mess with the stability of your water parameters. Nothing has made shrimp keeping easier for me than investing in an RO/DI unit and re-mineralizer as ColForbin mentioned.
