Hello everyone,
I've recently gotten into the hobby and have a community tank which was planned to be a
shrimp tank at first. Now I'm unsure, and after doing research, still very confused about the maintenance.
I've got a 70liter (~18gallons) tank scaped with plants, mosses, driftwood, floating plants, catappa leaves, cholla wood, catappa bark
and is being filtered through two seperate sponge filters capable of filtering 400l (105gallons) an hour that houses
~25 neocaridinas, 10 kubotai rasbora, 10 pygmy corys, 2 small plecos, (a super red and a clown) and 3 ramshorn snails.
Now so far so good except it's very confusing to me knowing what the correct frequency and volume of waterchanges should be.
When I did research for my initial shrimp tank I was reading alot of 10-20% every other week, however when I do research on fish
it appears to be more of a weekly thing. I hope anyone could enlighten me on what could be a good middle ground as to not
stress out my shrimp nor my fish.
Here are my parameters that have been stable for a while now:
pH: 7,5
kH: 7
gH: 10
NO2: 0,1
NO3: 4
NH4: 0,1
Thanks in advance!
