Hi all,

Recently new to the hobby and wondering if l should keep these white guys in my crs tank or should l separate them?

Also should l keep the different patterns together in one tank or should l separate them ?20161204_123900.jpg.067b3e32c70b9729aa46

It all depends on what you are aiming to do with your shrimp. If you like the white shrimp, leave them in and chances are that more of them will show up over time. If you dont like them, move them out.

they are white crs.

That means they are SSS grade CRS.

So if you want to get more SSS grade shrimps then you can also separate all the white SSS shrimp into one tank for greater chances of getting more SSS grade offspring.

There is no harm in leaving them in the same tank.

Yup, def another tank, maybe a rack lol

 

LOL !!

You'll fit right in here with this present company.

No one is going to discourage you from getting another tank or 3.

But seriously, apart from the obvious, a 2nd tank has a lot of advantages compared to running just one tank.

Lol, l already have a smallish cichlid breeding rack(4x4ft) and 5ft, 2x2ft, 3ft but they are for my cichlids :/
But yes l think a def need a "small shrimp rack" cos l sooooo want other kinds of shrimp. Its so adictive :)
I was told l have MTS (Multiple Tank Disorder) lol

      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.
