Just thought you all might find this very interesting :cool-new:

these are the offspring from 2 female low grade chocolate delight shrimp.

there is an amazing range of colors that have been produced. it has given me a lot of new breeding programs to start with

all from chocolates.

here they are, not the best photo to show the colors but give you an idea.

there are blood red, brown, chocolate, blue, yellow, orange, green, clear, spotted, striped.

what a perfect easy start to a breeding program :applause:

thats the only photo i took before dumping them in a new tank full of plants. sorry. i only noticed them as i was taking them out of the tank they were in to move them.

@ wayne they were not crossed with anything, its just what the low grade chocolate shrimp throw. a crazy mix of colors :)

repeat after me "they're ugly, they're ugly, they're hard to look after.."

Damn it, it's not working.... MOD's...

@ Jamie, nothing wrong with another tank mate :) the more tanks you have the more shrimp i can sell you :victorious: i have a few gay shrimp left that no one else wants lol

@ Lachie the chocolate delight are for sale on the website bossaquaria.com.au thats all they came from, just the low grade ones i didnt want to sell as they were not good enough to put my name on. as for the multi colored babies, im just putting them in a tank and see if i can selective breed the blue and the greens out in time.

Let me know when you want to get rid of any choc culls Dean, absolute love it if they threw only half the range you have.What a way to get some serious line breeding done. But I guess that every cull you have now will be a prisoner? I know I would not let one out of my site, good luck and Enjoy Dean

      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.
