I was overseas in Nov, and before I came back I left 4 cherries to my mum, as she was always talking about my shrimp to everyone she knew... So now she has her own :P She just told me one of them has a white stripe, she couldn't get a picture of her's, but found this one online that is similar.

They all looked like cherry juvies when I got them for her, and I've never seen stripes like that before... What is it?

I'd like to bump this topic. I recently received a shipment of orange Sakura. One of them have the same thing. I vaguely remember it being mentioned a long time ago, but don't recall what caused it. I'm considering culling it.

Will it be resolved with the next molt?

From memory that kind of splitting in the shell is a shedding issue, check on frequency and amount of water changes as well as the waters gH and possibly pH.

Yes this should get fixed by the next moult.

If it does not moult in the next few days. You may need to check your water parameters as it may be having trouble moulting.

      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.
