mayphly Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 For those of you who are keeping Taiwan Bees and having success in breeding them I thought it would be a good idea if you could share your parameters here with others to help them become successful in breeding TB’s as well. Mind you this is just as reference since there are many things in the shrimp tank that affect parameters such as soils, plants, ferts, co2, etc…. My tank is heavily planted and I use Amazonia as substrate. I do not use ferts or co2 in this tank. I use 1:1 ratio of tap and RO water rematerialized with Mosura mineral plus. My TB breed all throughout the year. (Knock on wood) However, I find my mischling in the tank become berried more often (faster) than the TB. Here is a comparison of my parameter changes. Although there is a bit of fluctuations in my paramters the shrimp are still breeding. April 2014 Today TDS- 145 TDS- 155 GH- 5 GH- 6 KH- 0 KH- 0 NO3- 0 NO3- 0 PH-5.8-6.0 PH- 6.0 Temp- 72 Temp- 72 manticore and EricM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 My TB tank have almost the exact same parameters as your "April 2014". TDS- 140-150 GH- 5/6 KH- 0 PH- 6.0-6.2 Temp- 70-72 I honestly never check NO3 unless I feel there is an escalating problem. Great idea on thread!

randy Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 From my best TB breeding tank, last checked was about 6 months ago, TDS- 140 GH- 5 KH- ~0 PH- 6.0-6.2 Temp- 72-75 And NO3, as checked about 3 months ago, was 60, I haven't done any water change since then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dmAr0yjq2Q mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
