Follow the product's species guidance and verify the prepared water with GH/KH tests before use.

Choose a shrimp-appropriate mix

Remineralizers differ: some primarily raise GH, while others affect both GH and KH. Select a product suited to Neocaridina and your tank's substrate and water plan.

Use clean measuring tools and the label's dose for a measured volume. TDS alone cannot confirm which minerals were added.

Make each batch consistent

Dissolve minerals fully in a separate container, then test GH and KH before adding the water. Keep a written note of the amount and final readings.

Avoid changing the recipe midstream or correcting the display tank by guesswork. If a batch differs, adjust it before use and transition existing shrimp gradually.

For your own tank

Use one measured batch as a reference and record the product amount alongside GH and KH. That gives you a repeatable baseline. If results vary, check the measuring tool, dissolution time, and water volume before adjusting the display aquarium.
