is cuttlebone powder safe for bettas and tetras as well? my ghost shrimp are co-habbed with those species and i want all my fish to be happy and healthy!
I use reptile calcium, I always notice that different shrimp specific supplements and foods use different forms of calcium, I always wonder which is best.
I have used the liquid ones with vitamin D and E with zero issues in the past. I just add crushed coral to the pump now or add a little calcium carbonate powder to the water. I always dissolve mine in a cup of water when adding. Calcium carbonate is the cheapest method because you can get tons for little $. I buy 20 pound bags off of Amazon.
Awesome video and useful 🦐 shrimpy info.... however... I'm hoping this is the last video with the background noise (feedback from the recording device? Reminds me of when i used to play VHD tapes ❤😂.
Yes you can use it I just recommend shaking it in a water bottle with a little treated water before pouring it in. Because if you put it in straight it will have a lot of dust floating on top.
Yes the biggest risk is sudden swings in water quality. That's why it's best to leave a piece of dried eggshell in the aquarium or a pinch of powdered egg shells
I have not used it with cardina shrimp before. I’m sure a little won’t hurt to help supplement them but I would test the pH before and after just so you know what’s going on. Caridina shrimp can be very very sensitive!
I raise chickens so eggs are a perfect fit for me 🥚
Great tips! And cute dog! I can see it in the reflection 😄
I've gotten to the point where the small shards of undissolved eggshells mixed into my substrate and I kinda like the look of it.

Awesome. I use my coffee grinder for grinding my shells :)
Thanks for the egg shells tip 👍
I put the powdered eggshells in the filter box so it's not visible in the eyes
That’s a great idea when using a HOB or Canister Filter forsure! I’ll be doing that if I ever switch from the sponges I run.
I just put the egg shells in the blender... I rinse the eggs, they put them in the oven a bit to dry them, then on to the blender.... nice powder

How much powdered calcium per gallon?
Love these videos I’m learning so much about shrimp lol
@JC Aquatics Thanks so much dude, I’m glad you enjoy them!!!
Great video...thanks for the info
@Jimmy Bushrow Your Welcome, Thanks for Watching!

Extremely useful
thank you!
Your Welcome!👍
video go brrrrrrr, but thank you for the advice!
😂
Do I need to get the calcium 600 mg and crushed it up in to powder with eggshells and cuttlebone?
Aragonite sand (crushed coral) works well too
Do you reckon Reptile Calcium powder would be good enough? I've got plenty around from my lizards and am just getting into shrimp
That's a great question, now I'm wondering the same thing, because like you I too have it for my lizards. :)

Awesome 😁👍

Video super
Karina. K.A. Thanks so much!👍
Do you cook the eggs first or just use the shell fresh?
How often should I add calcium?
Some great ideas did wonder if snail shells are any good for this
If its a big tank like a 75 how much would you add ?
how much per shrimps would you add ?
Is food grade gypsum ok?
Will adding a lot of crushed egg shells have any negetive effect on fish and shrimp?

What's about the other ingredients on this calcium tablets? Can't rhey be toxic for shrimp?
What about calcium powder? Also on amazon
I have a question please: baby snails and shrimp can co-exist right?
Yes
Do these work for snails?
Yup!👍 they work great for snails too!
Thx
You’re welcome!!👍
Help friend , can I use the calcium tablets for Cardina shrimp , will it chance the ph on the tank ?
I have not used it with cardina shrimp before. I’m sure a little won’t hurt to help supplement them but I would test the pH before and after just so you know what’s going on. Caridina shrimp can be very very sensitive!
TheShrimpScene thank you my friend
Your very welcome!👍
do you rinse the eggshell first?
why does my egg shell make the tank cloudy! ?
Thanks for the tips ! Does it raise Ph ?
Nope, hasn’t affected my pH at all👍
I wonder if he knew he had a clutch of snail egg on the wall of his tank
Does it work for crabs?
Can you do the same with snails?
I can't find calcium supplements without D3...
thank you!
