I think I'm in trouble when summer hits, it was quite hot in Sydney yesterday I think it got up to 27 and my tank got up to 25 and I don't think I can afford a chiller

nice - i just lost 2 females after transferring them to the rack, they looked pretty old though and low grade. do you wanna swap me those 2 CBS for some CRS?

What a beautiful tank! What sort of wood is that? I want some! :P

Sorry to hear you've lost a couple, but hopefully you'll have some new babies from those berried girls soon :D

Hi and thanks

Yes its Gold vine as mentioned, and I to hope that I get a few new additions with the current berried tank mates.

Im currently thinking of ditching this tank in preference for a 2ft tank for the extra space, hard decision though as I really do like the overall look of this tank.

Congrats mate!

I remember my first shrimplets were after my tank leaked and all the shrimp were in a bucket for two days. That's when I found my first shrimpies lol

I don't think it was the heat, because I've been getting the odd death for months.

I've just noticed a berried CBS as well

Been a while since I posted here.

So the story goes everything was running well, i transferred everyone to a 2f tank for a bit more stability.

Built my numbers up to about 90 odd crs from struggling to keep 10 alive.

Then the flea bomb hit. I know what you're all thinking rookie mistake, well not really because I had succesfully done it before. Anyway I lost 75-80 shrimp .

Those thatvurvived now reside at foxpuppets and I pulled down the tank in frustration .

      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.

      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.
