OKay, so you know how I've said that my Malawa- once to their destination- are about the most hardy shrimp I have found?
Well, they do so well, I kinda have a hands off policy with that tank doing wc, etc. Since they eat just about anything, they get flake, any fish that happen to die, cray molts/any crays that die, etc. I have so many, if I don't feed protein, they go after each other so they are the ideal clean up crew for the circle of life.
Today, just out of curiosity I checked my Malawa tank's TDS and GH...
Ready for this?
TDS 723
GH 34
Those readings made me drop my jaw!!! LMAO!!! No wonder they are so hardy!!! And what's more, they still breed like mad and have no problems with survival!
Perhaps it's time for me to work my way back to an ideal param in that tank. No? LOL
