Yeah in the cholla wood. I split across 2 tanks as it's easier to get macro photo's in my nano tank.

This is my basic setup for macros on this tank:

And I get these results:

Awesome, glad to see you got your first shrimp in the tank :)

They look similar to the Tibees I bought from @ineke at the last auction, mine have just started breeding (had them for ~1 month) so we can compare notes.  Don't think I'll be getting any photos quite as good as yours though ;)

I think mine had their first shed after about 1-2 weeks, then were berried a week or so after that.  I've only seen 2 babies since, I'm not sure if they survived as they're absolute b****rs to spot.

I'm sure yours will get to it soon, that is unless you have all boys or all girls (which would be pretty unlucky given the number you have).

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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.
