Aquarium environments 19 The sera Biotop Cube complete systems are particularly well suited for keeping crayfish, shrimps and fish together. Due to their sizes they can be set up with plenty of imagination and according to the requirements of their inhabitants. You will enjoy interesting observations with the vivid crustaceans for a long time when doing so. Crustacean care Consistent water conditioning including the regularly required water changes is the most important factor when keeping crustaceans. Smallest amounts of chlorine or heavy metals in the tap water will kill the crustaceans. It is therefore necessary to add sera aquatan for the entire aquarium contents after siphoning off the old water and before adding new water. Double dos- age is not harmful at all but provides even more protection. In case of strong- ly contaminated water, you should first add sera toxivec followed by sera aquatan. You may also use sera blackwater aquatan instead of sera aquatan as humic substances are very beneficial for crustaceans. Nutrition of invertebrates A balanced diet is as important for crustaceans as it is for fish, as they require special proteins and high quality carbohydrates that allow them to grow well, shed their skin and harden their shell. The sera shrimps natural and crabs natural foods contain these nutrients. A balanced mineral supply is also by all means required. You should add one heaped teaspoon sera mineral salt per each 100 liters (26.4 US gal.) of aquarium water about one hour after the water change.
