I got 2 new ones too courtesy of a tidy Facebook auction. Will post up some pics of newly acquired shrimp ASAP. Been distracted by my CPD's spawning ;)

I've spotted a bunch of fresh moults in the panda section, so happy they are liking the parameters.

I hope this isn't the start of something, but 2 shrimp have disappeared.

1 of my panda's and one of the extreme BB. No bodies, no trace :(

Does anyone think that's a gap developing behind the head?

Helped a mate today and got this in exchange... That single WR isn't so single anymore ;)

Took delivery of some new Crs stock today. A batch of 20 mixed sex and age, pretty happy as I've got at least 6 confirmed females in there..... One very easy to tell

Ready for a dirty weekend away

But concerned over the look of this gap behind her head. Male molted fine, hopefully she does too, fingers crossed!

Happy to report that she moulted fine.... But wasn't saddled :(

I started to feed some hikari shrimp cuisine I had laying around as its calcium rich (apparently) so hopefully the shells become a bit stronger. I've been noticing some CRS and CBS with thinner looking shell whiteness than before.

Hoping these 2 are female but it's always too much wishful thinking to call early.

Well seeing how this one is now zooming around chasing the female Misch I added into this section it's safe to say it's not a female.

In some bad news, the berried female from my recent CRS purchase was looking a bit sluggish this morning. When I came home she was dead and had dumped her eggs..... Which in turn made it easier to try and save them. Had to dig out my old DIY egg tumbler and set it up.

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      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.
