Ask your dealer for advice which shrimp species can be held best in cold water.
Fill the aquarium slowly with clean tap water of around 20°C.
Place a plate or glass beneath the water stream to prevent dislodging of the base.
Clean the aquarium and accessories thoroughly with clean tap water.
Never use cleaning products or alcohol, and always use a perfectly clean bucket.
Cover the bottom with Colombo FloraBase Pro. FloraBase Pro reduces the pH-value to 6
and shrimps prefer this pH-value.
Place aquarium with safety underlay on a smooth, horizontal surface of adequate
load-bearing capacity. Do not place the aquarium on electrical appliances or on furniture
with surfaces which are liable to staining by water.
Setting up your aquarium:
Choose an appropriate location for the aquarium. The location should be relatively dark, for example in the corner of a room.
The aquarium should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Too much light will lead to unwanted algae and may harm the shrimps
and plants in the aquarium as a result of overheating.
