Some of my Black cherry's


Baccus

Recommended Posts

I decided to take some pictures of some of my black cherry shrimp, they still are not 100% stable since I am still taking out the occasional pale wild type and dark brown/ chocolate as well as the odd one that has a black body with only a spot of brown on its head or brown stripe down its back. Quite a few of the blacks seem to have a bluish under carriage eg around the legs but overall I am pretty pleased with these guys and happy that apparently Pacific Blue Eyes don't eat cherry shrimp and nor it seems do whiptails (well the species I have don't seem to any way).

Notice the brown/ chocolate behind the black. Also excuse the green spots on the glass the nerites have been a little slack.

@Baccus , don't use photobucket, they don't let you share outside of their network now unless you pay them for a subscription. Upload them here.

Thats a pain because when I posted the pictures where there. I'll have to work out later how to decrease the size of my pictures to upload them directly to the forum.

I know, it's a royal PITA. Related thread fyi:

There are upload limits here for regular members but these are removed for subscription members. This is so I can at least cover some of the storage costs. But hey, once you host them here, they can be shared on any forum or facebook feed without breaking like those photobucket ones.

I am going to need a step by step editorial on how on earth to upload pictures now. I have tried all sorts of things, from attempting to resize my pictures, to using the computers own share options (it just keeps bringing up snapchat, facebook and other options I know nothing about).

Otherwise it seems I will be destined to never post another picture here:(

Thank you for showing me how to actually the pictures to the site via, dragging, now I am having issues with resizing. All my pictures exceed the download requirements of the site of 4.3 Mb.

I think I may have worked out how to resize but its going to make a mess of my desktop temporarily posting pic to it.

Yay!!!!! it's working.

Yeah, there are some restrictions with regular members, I think the limits are a lot more relaxed with subscription members but I would need to confirm when I get a spare moment.

Ok it looks like if I am quick at locating the pictures that I want to post the site will merge the pictures from two posts into one, which is better than having to post one pic at a time.

Can the top broken photo bucket links be edited out?

      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.
