My Tanks

Hi all,

I have 2 tanks, (at the moment), the larger tank is a ADA 60 x 45 x 45, (120Lt), high tech aquascape, ADA Amazonia, gold sand, driftwood (gold vine) and Seiryu rock, with Otos, Pygmy Cory, Ember Tetra, Darwin Algae & Red Cherry Shrimp. The smaller tank, is a low tech, ADA Amazonia, Seiryu rock, planted nano cube (27Lt), and is home to a couple Otos and my newly aquired CRS.

The Red Cherry in the main tank are breeding regularly, and the population is increasing rapidly. I have to trim the plants every 2 weeks or they will take over the tank. (luckily my LFS is happy to by my cuttings). The only plant I have to keep an eye on in the nano cube, is a Water Wisteria, which grows like a weed, even without CO2. :-D

Still learning about CRS, but I hope they too will breed in their new home.

I hope you like them.

      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.
