I realize that my approach is different from some breeders, but once there are shrimplets born into my colonies, I like to have some kind of food in the tank OFTEN. I'm not talking about a huge pile of food! I'm talking about a small amount of food, which I often do twice per day.
I believe that this is a very good approach, with one big caveat: You have to do it without messing up your water quality! One way would be to always have plenty of biofilm in your tanks, so that shrimp and their babies can find it everywhere. That is not always easy to accomplish. Another is to have decaying leaves scattered around the tank, as long as you don't overdo it. Sometimes that's not convenient.
Keep in mind that it is PROTEIN that leads to nitrogenous waste, leading to ammonia, then nitrite, etc. That's where foods such as this one and Shrimp Envy "Food Fight" come in handy. These foods create very little ammonia, and if your filter is mature, it can surely handle that small amount of ammonia. So I use foods like these to great advantage, especially when I suspect that there might not be enough biofilm in the tank.
Really healthy good sized plants that were well packaged.really impressed. Took off 1 star due to the tiny pest snails that were on the plants.made sure to give a good rinse before i placed in the tank.
Great communication fast Shipping nicely packaged. Very happy with my moss. Some orange eye black devils next. 👍🏼
Absolutely beautiful shrimp. Many had the boa pattern. Better than expected. I woukd definitely recommend this purchase fir any one wanting a mystery pack ffor their hobby.
I've used countless blanched leaves in my caridina tanks, and the primary reason is that I can have a little bit of food available for the shrimp at all times, without polluting the water at a level that is significant. Food Fight contains a great variety of ingredients, but still doesn't pollute the water at a level that causes any concern in my shrimp room. And the bonus is that I don't have to blanch it, prior to using it! You'll see that the pellets require about a minute to soak up some water, prior to sinking. If that is a hassle for you, put the required number of food pieces into a small bowl of RO water first, then, about 3 minutes later, walk around and feed your shrimp. Problem solved! This and Baby Dust are my two best foods. Lucky Aquatics sells both!
Good ledges. Theyre well made. Good amount of ridges for tying and good small suction cups that leave room to tie both horizontal and partially vertical and they stick well. Thx for the addicting candy too
Product is as advertised. I’m only using it to kickstart neocaridina tanks. As it breaks down the ammonia levels really spike. Im not sure its somthing i would keep in a tank past two weeks, at least not in a tank running 7.5 ph. Caridina tanks under 6 ph I woukd be more comfortable with letting the product stay in longer.
Im real happy with the service provided by Lucky Aquatics. The item was legit in transit within a few hours. Im used to shops printing the shipping label real fast so they can bang my card as if the product actually shipped. It’ll generally take one to two more days before tracking starts to give back data. This was a nice change of pace where the “your product has shipped” email actually gave me feedback that the shipping company was in receipt of my item. Just based on that I’m 100% ordering here again. Product gets 4/5 stars, Lucky gets 5/5. Cheers!
I'd never seen Cameroon moss before, and it's even more lovely in person. It arrived well packed and seems to be thriving in my nano shrimp tank. I will definitely be buying more.
I received my order quickly and packed well. I like this Baby Dust. Even when I only use a very small amount, I like to add a bit of powdered food, (on most days), when there are tiny shrimplets present. Based upon Lucky Aquatic's blog article, I'm "bringing the food to the babies" when they are tiny. Sure, you can use a greater amount if you have a tank with a massive colony. But if you have even a single brood of shrimplets, just carefully add a very small amount into the tank, and it will spread all over the place. Grazing shrimp and shrimplets will find it and benefit from it.
Awesome shrimp very healthy fast shipping black and red mix happy bout that will buy from again
Came fast packed perfectly all alive very healthy super beautiful looking shrimp
I bought these for my betta, so he could perch near the water line. The cog shape of the wheel makes it easy to tie on plants. My betta kept trying to sit on it during the install!
Aww I love this!! He just couldn't wait for you to finish <3
Awesome seller, all 20 came alive and healthy would order again.
Absolutely beautiful shrimp, thank you for the carefully packed order! You can’t go wrong with getting your shrimp from Shelly, and I’ll continue to order my shrimp from her 🫶
