Hi Ayrshire shrimp. In Australia we call the red panda a Wine Red or Red Wine. It's hard to see your fellow so that maybe why you haven't got any replies. It's very exciting when you get your first TB in a different colour. The Ruby Red and Wine Red are beautiful shrimp just love their colour which is so vivid. 

Congratulations and do try and get another picture for us.

It is not a Taiwan Bee- as Ineke mentioned they are more red wine colour or ruby red. Yours is CRS Crimson. I am looking forward to finding out from the more knoweledgable guys on the forum to tell us what one calls it ?

Did you buy CRS and this was just a random amongst them or bought TB?

Hello @Ayrshire shrimp

The pictures you have put up look more like CRS to me. Could they be CRS Mischlings from Wine red instead? Its just that the pattern and colour looks more like CRS.

I was being polite when I posted -hence asking for a better picture and stating their col;our should be vivid. They should be similar to theseDSC_0202-001.JPGDSC_0198.JPGDSC_0189.JPGimage.jpg

I reckon that's probably the most likely scenario given the look of the pattern and colouring, still a nice start though.

      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.
