When i started my line of tangtai i crossed females tt with males twb as my end goal was to breed backline and fishbones, it is a long process but really enjoyable especially when you start getting results, just make sure to set aside a few tanks for that to avoid inbreeding.

@vshrimp

looks very promising.

Keep us updated with pics of these little fellas as they get older.

They should colour up a bit when they get older.

Just an update. After the F1 shrimplets had grown up. I culled the males and kept 3 females. From those females, I then crossed back to a RB. Heres the female berried.

After releasing the eggs, I discovered I may have created some Blue Steels. Heres the pic of the baby.

And now here it is at juvie age. Only found 2 of them and hoping for them to be a pair. Fingers crossed. :D

Also...I'm hoping this one could be a red steel. Might need to work on it but it looks promising.

Here's how the reds are looking. After talking to a reputable breeder. I was told its a red bolt phenotype and that I'm on the right track to breeding Red Steel.

So one of the females finally berried. Father is another Blue Steel that I bought to stabilize the line. So in a way I'm taking a short cut. Who doesn't like taking short cuts lol.

Also looks like I might finally have some actually Red Steel. This one is a F3 tangtai potential RS. 2f0188ecb845714d202e97b242a2422b.jpg4399931292b894ab4e96458b573227d8.jpg

This female has gotten super dark. Drop most of her batch but is still holding on to a few eggs from what I can see. Should be any day now for the release of the shrimplets. 0bf1f5f5d0b47343a081a7f85acb77fd.jpg

      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.
