Yesterday evening, I put the rest of my tangerine tigers & blue velvet in a new tank. This tank has been cycled during 5 weeks, and after check, NO2 and NO3 are at 0 or not even noticeable by the API test.
Other parameters are :
PH: 6.8 KH: 4, GH: 6

TDS: 110 Water temp: 26°C

I acclimatate the shrimps during 6 hours.

Once I put them in their new tank, they start swimming all around, explore everywhere, and continue swimming all around, very actively. I check this morning, and I found them still swimming all around...

They were very quiet in the old tank. Should I be worried about anything else?

Grats on the successful mating dance!

Always cool to see the shrimp swimming around. Only thing I find weird is 90% of the time they swim past the female when it seems so obvious.

Well, it must have been the Happy Dance you were seeing them do.

 

I don't think so: the blue female was already berried when I put her and the males in the tank, and she was also dancing all around with the male, the male were no more chasing her, just swimming all around.

The tangerine tigers were doing so.

That being said, I checked this noon, and they were more quiet, grazing, swimming quietly, exploring... I might be just too anxious  as I have only 1 blue female and 1 tangerine female left, and don't want to lose them...

      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.
