How To Create An Aquarium For Blue Bolt Shrimps

By Karen Jackson


Blue bolt shrimps have a care requirement in order to thrive. They need many places where they can hide in an aquarium in order to feel secured and safe. The tanks should have surfaces where they can forage as well. They have a specific demand in regards to water values and they possess a high sensitivity when the water is bad quality. Even with a little amount of nitrate or ammonia can easily kill them. The nitrates inside the tanks must be kept low as possible. When it comes to extreme blue bolt shrimp, owners should treat these kinds of shrimps with the right quality of water.

When preparing to add the shrimp in the tank, the water must be treated carefully to make it safe for the species. Owners must buy waters from pet stores in order not to treat it. If you use tap water, then it should be treated with the correct treatment. Make sure that the water quality fits with the shrimps sensitivity levels.

Select the right tank. Many available options can be chosen for shrimp tanks. Picking out a tank that have ten gallons will make it sure that there is a good space to make them flourish and thrive. Keep always in mind the right size. Ten gallons tanks are more than enough even the population of shrimps are high.

Check the tanks for leaks when filling it. Check it before starting to fill the structure with water and before adding the features. Try to fill in about a few inches and see if everything holds together. Do not use the treated water. Instead, use tap water first then throw it away afterwards. Filling in the tanks completely rather than checking any leaks first will lead to a bigger mess when the seal fails its purpose.

Install a heater. Use a calculator to know the correct water heater to buy. It would be vital to have a water heater that is appropriate for the tank that you have. Consult the pet store to help identify the equipment needed. Put at least two heaters on each side of tanks to have a support in case the other one fails.

To transplant the shrimp into the aquarium, use a net. Carefully use the net and avoid any shrimp from getting crushed. Place the other hand on the top part of the net to prevent them from jumping over the nets. Do not try to catch them by the hand.

Low lighted tanks will grow ferns and moss that will provide shrimps the food they need. Higher planted types will use substrates on walls to give food for a shrimp. Non planted types does not require a regular water quality maintenance but needs the shrimp to be checked every time.

Get referrals from fellow pet lovers, loved ones and colleagues. They may offer some crucial; information in regards to raising a blue bolt shrimp. They can offer some insights and advice that could prove to be useful.

Budgeting is an important factor. Purchasing a blue bolt shrimp is expensive. Not many owners want to own them because of the price rate that pet stores offer. Individuals that aspire to own one must ensure they have the finances to give the shrimps the love they deserved.
