Spot a shrimp - win a prize (no# 2)

In celebration of my zebras dropping another batch of shrimplets:

First person to identify where the zebra (Caridina zebra) shrimplet is in this picture gets a prize from me.

The fine print:

As the prize, I have on offer either a Bucephalandra sp. "Kedagang" cutting OR as many riffle shrimp as you would like (within reason). Please note for members located in WA and TAS, there may be state rules preventing me from sending you plants and/or shrimp, but we will discuss options if a member from those states wins. Open to any of the other mods as well because only I know where the shrimp is.

Sorry international members - this comp is open to Australian based members only.

All you need to do is copy the pic above, use paint or another program to draw a circle around the shrimp and re-post the picture here in this thread. First person who correctly does so gets the prize.

Nope, nopedy, nope, no, not that. Unfortunately no winner so far.

Hint: Have a look at the last run of this competition to see what you are looking for.

Now two circles at once is cheating.... a sign of desperation? Maybe time to :giving-up:?

Neither is the right answer.

Really? I thought this one was much easier.

Yeah I really think this one was harder. I spent a lot more time on it before I found it!

I am pretty sure I got it but not 100% lol 

So how many are u up to now? In the colony?

I'm not sure exactly on numbers, guessing between 30 and 50. Its hard to count as they can hide under the rocks. I definitely have lost of a few of the originals and my survival rates for the juveniles have been low as I've had to physically move the tank a couple of times. I've finally got it settled in one position on my new rack so I'm going to concentrate on boosting the survival rates of the shrimplets.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
