Water Chemistry Guide

Our Recommended Water Range

Unlike imported wild shrimp requiring delicate RO/DI reconstitutions, our colonies thrive in typical conditioned tap water. Consistency is key!

Acidity / pH
6.8 – 7.8

Sweet spot: 7.2 – 7.4

Total Solids / TDS
180 – 250

ppm dissolved minerals

General Hardness (GH)
4 – 8 dGH

Pro-Breeder Tip: Stability beats chase! Never aggressively adjust water with chemical shockers. Small 10-15% weekly water changes matched for temperature will yield explosive shrimplet survival rates.
