Raising small river shrimp (also known as freshwater crayfish) requires providing suitable environmental conditions and suitable feeding methods. Here are the basic steps for raising small river shrimp in a fish tank:
1. Prepare a suitable fish tank: Choose a fish tank of appropriate size. The recommended capacity is more than 10 gallons (about 38 liters). Make sure the tank has enough space for the small river shrimp and provides suitable hiding places, such as lobster shells or rocks.
2. Provide suitable water quality: Small river shrimp have higher requirements on water quality. Use dechlorinators to treat water sources and ensure the water is clear and non-toxic. Maintain the water temperature between 18°C and 25°C, the pH between 6.5 and 8.0, and the hardness (GH) between 8 and 15.
3. Configure a suitable filtration system: It is recommended to use a suitable filtration system, such as water pumps and filters, to maintain cleanliness and circulation of water quality. Small river shrimp produce waste and require a good water quality environment to keep them healthy and comfortable.
4. Provide suitable food: River shrimp are omnivores, so you can provide them with a variety of food. Common feeding items include fish food pellets, vegetables (such as carrots, bitter melon, pumpkin), aquatic plants and fish formula. Be careful not to overfeed, which can cause water quality problems.
5. Maintain good water quality and regular cleaning: Check water quality parameters regularly and replace part of the water regularly to keep the water clean. Clean the fish tank of clutter and waste and make sure the filtration system is functioning properly.
6. Pay attention to group breeding: small river shrimps are social animals, and it is recommended to breed more than 2 at the same time to provide an appropriate social environment. Make sure the fish tank is large enough to avoid fighting or aggressive behavior.
Please note that the above are basic farming instructions, and the specific methods of farming small river shrimp can be adjusted and optimized based on specific circumstances and personal experience.
