Big thanks to Disciple!

Thanks to @Disciple for all the shrimp that arrived safe and sound last week with so many super-generous freebies and up-sizes. I was excited enough to receive them, and finding the extra and bigger tigers was just awesome. They're all growing fast, especially the chocs, and a little red shrimplet stowaway is still going strong too! 

The light blue tigers were sussing out the yellow neos straight after joining the tank...

... but pretty soon they decided that lowly neos would no longer be permitted on the driftwood and started patrolling and doing sinister poses. They are super-cool to watch.56fa78ee8855a_sinistertiger.jpg.0b148d5f

They've done a lot of colouring up since then but any more photos have to wait until this weekend when I get my camera back!

bro you sell me nice stuff and you have to suffer my PDAs ?

here's a pic of my favourite light blue cruising...

It's tempting me to get better photography lighting because at the moment i can't get shutter speed fast enough for a non-blurry shot of it cruising. And it looks so cool while cruising.

Your welcome 

 

Great pic! They should get a little more blue as they mature

Yeah I'm noticing nice increases in blueness each molt. The blondes are also getting a really solid amber colour.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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.
