Hi Brendon,

I had a tank full of erio's (15 varieties), and had several thailand. They're sensitive to WP, and demand specific conditions...one of the more difficult plants to grow. Erio's aren't cheap, as they're difficult to obtain, and propagate. Google it before taking the plunge...I absolutely LOVE erio's but decided that shrimps were of higher priority ! LOL

They sound difficult bb i wonder if it is even worth my while attempting to keep these as I've only kept mosses and ferns in the past what sort of $$ we talking bout for a single plant because yeah i know nothing of this plant

Hey Brendon, Aquagreen sell a native Eriocaulon cinereum. I'm not sure how different it really is, but it looks fairly similar to my untrained eye :P

The Erio Japan will go well with the shrimp WP. Like everything else, they are not difficult if the conditions are right. The cinereum are quite different to the Japan, whereas the cambodia & thailand are similar. Only issue I had with erio's with shrimps, is that the erios need to be fertilised, thus increasing TDS, plus they are a rooted plant, so if you wanted to split or pull them out, they tend to cause a stir and mess in the tank, as their root system can be 100mm plus. The rare erios like Japan is approx. $35-$55 each...

So Erio Japan (if you can get them) = SS CRS ....:D

      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.

      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.
