Hi All!

I live in Sweden, near Gothenburg. 

I´m just starting with shrimps but I have had aquariums for may years but only with fish.

There was a few years without fishtanks when my kids was small and there was lack of time..

But now I have started a 105 liters with some Endlers guppies and Red Cherry shrims.

I´m moving them from a 16 liter tank to the 105 tank today!

It has been hard to keep stabile water parameters in the small tank... :-(

I have only had shrimps for some 4 months..

Best regards!

Ricard

Hi ad Thanks!

My 105 liter tank is up and running...

I have JBL Shrimp substrate in tap water... I added some GH+ so GH is 7-10 right now..

Dont know TDS yet... The meter is in transition... and with curret regulations here in sweden it looks like I will have to wait a while for it :-(

Q: does snybody else use JBL Shrimp substate? 

Can u overdose substrate?

My Ph is low... Below 6.0...

Yes U guesst it... The Ph-meter is in the mail too.... ?

 

Best regards!

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.

      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.
