The Blue Tigers don't want to be with me. Currently, I have a group reserved with someone private, which I can only in a few months. , but I miss “the blue” in my bowl! The last two Blue Tigers are old and I don't think they're growing anymore. In addition, there's a bit of a winter stop: at the moment very few pregnant shrimp (it's mid-October 2018 that I'm writing this blog). For the Tigers and the new Crystal's, I decided to replace the soil for special Ph lowering soil. For those who follow my blogs about my shrimp, know that I already have this soil????

Yes... But after inquiry on shrimp forums, that brand turned out to be very bad: it lowered the Ph value with no one I heard about it and since it is over 8, I really wanted to see that Ph down a bit for the new Caridina's

, which means that every week I carefully sucked and replaced a small piece of soil... A hell of a job but meanwhile the Ph has dropped to 7.5.

GlasGarten environment soil stabilizes in a natural way the pH value at about 5,5-6,5. Although it really sticks to 7.5, I am already happy enough with that. Better something than nothing and the shrimp do well.
