Undergravel Shrimp Tank I have done an article on step by step setting up of a undergravel shrimp tank. Undergravel shrimp tank has a new advantages like eliminate the need to use filter inlet sponge, extend the lifetime of gravel and offers extra surface for benefitial bacteria to grow. 
During the first 2 weeks of setup, the pH can goes very low when soil based gravel is used then one tank does not use undergravel filter plate. One can do a few large water change to bring the pH up by a bit. MOSURA Old Sea Mud Powder is recommended to use in the base to provide long term remineralisation and also absorb unharm stuffs in the gravel as it will build up as time goes by. Read more here:

My Son and Shrimps  My son likes shrimps, he has just turned 2 years old and he starts to recognise shrimps by color. He can tell difference between crystal red shrimp, black tiger shrimps and blue tiger shrimps by their color. Today, I got his a jar with 2 Haiwaiian Shrimps or also known as mini lobsters, he loves it and stares at them for a long time. Next thing, he wanted is to feed them like he alway, feed my CRS and Tiger shrimps. But for this species, he could only enjoy the fun of feeding once per week.

Test Kits I Use 
I have tested different brand of test kits and now settle on API as they are very easy to use for my shrimp tanks. Shown here is Phosphate, Ammonia, KH, GH, Nitrite, Cholrine and Copper. I have missed place my API Nitrate test kits, got to find it back. What is not shown here is electronics pH probe, this is the most important tools. Naturally, for a certain pH value of water, the kH and GH will fall within a particular range, so pH is the only parameter I regularly test for matured tanks.
