Hello Wutang here, Melbournian Been with fish for a few years, now its shrimp time.

Currently keeping marble bristlenose, peppermints and electric yellows with some electric blue jack dempsey (3) that aren't so perfect - like half half electric blue. Bad phenotype.

Shrimps - none yet

Intending - posted below - but yellow cherries, riffle shrimps and red rili's on my WTB list

Shrimp tank - going to be a 4ft tank. I'm used to big tanks lol, I don't like nano tanks. I'm a rough bloke and I handle things roughly,

so small tanks are most easily either broken or ruined with my itchy twitchy hands lol. So 4ft it has to be :P

Actually no shrimps yet lol - still setting up a 4ft tank.

Just brought some Ada aqua soil.

Planning on getting yellow cherries, red rili's and riffle shrimps at this stage.

      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.
