The step that decides whether your shrimp thrive...
Most new shrimp keepers set up their tank, fill it, wait a few days, and add shrimp.
Then, a week or two later, the shrimp start dying, and they can't work out why.
Because they've skipped the most important step...
They didn't cycle their aquarium... and no, I'm not talking about bicycles.
“I believe you have the ability to create a thriving ecosystem
that you built and supports
amazing creations that are like living jewels
- without wasting money or hours.
You just need to know how to start with confidence.
And that's why this guide exists.”

So, what is cycling?
Everything in your tank produces waste, from shrimp and leftover food to decaying plants - and that produces ammonia. Toxic to shrimp.
In an established tank, beneficial bacteria turn it into nitrite, then into nitrate, which is far less harmful and is removed with water changes or plants
A new tank doesn't have these bacteria yet.
Cycling means growing them before your shrimp arrive - creating the environment your shrimp can live in.
Why it matters...
Shrimp are more sensitive to ammonia and nitrite than most fish, and they need stable water to moult safely.
However, EVERY aquarium must be cycled! Not just have instant bacteria added, or left for a week.
In an uncycled tank, waste builds up even while the water looks perfectly clear.
A cycled tank is a stable tank, and stability is what lets your shrimp settle in, colour up, and breed.
THE GOOD NEWS!
Cycling isn't hard.
It takes patience, about 4 weeks (6-8 weeks if you really want a great tank), and knowing what to look for.
This guide walks you through each stage, including what to test, what the numbers mean, and how to tell when your tank is ready.
A great hobby for anyone looking for something therapeutic,
away from screens, low-stimulating...
...and alive.
