I have just started to get into shrimp and have myself a few hundred cherry shrimp.

I originally bought 200 of them to raise up and use as feeders for all my fish. Then I swapped 20 females for males with a mate and started a mix blood line tank for around 30 of the best females and these males.

After a couple weeks I aquired a nano tank. Set it up with a couple anubias and christmas moss to house 5 of the top 30 females and 3 of the best males from the mixed blood tank.

Its paying of cause the shrimplets just born are golden at day old instead of clear like the feeders.

May look into something a little more challenging now I have caught a shrimping bug!

And has anyone heard of red eggs on them? you can see them in the pics below.

Welcome to SKF.

Shrimp are rather additive. Won't be long and you'll be selling off fish to use their tanks for a new shrimp tank lol.

Sorry I can't enlarge your pictures bigger than the little thumbnails so can't comment on your egg question.

Hope you enjoy the place

Hi and welcome to SKF a great forum. Yes it is a very addictive hobby but very enjoyable as well. So many variants not enough tanks is the norm. I can't see your pics properly either.

      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.
