Dean are your Rilis from Cherries? I think I was told the Crystals throw them too. They are so pretty and yet I haven't heard a lot about them.

Great pics Dean. I'm sure all of us are drooling over your shrimp. The Carbons sure look great as do the red rilli with blue body.

not for a while sorry, i dont mass produce any shrimp. i breed for quality and that is a slow process unfortunately.

And you need to always remember that when people show pics of there best shrimp there is only ever a few of them, not tanks and tank of them

even if thats what they want you to believe :)

i have more tanks for culls than i do for quality shrimp..

This is by far Australia's most beautiful native. The Blue and white Zebra shrimp.

You're getting pretty handy with that camera now Dean. I love the blue rilli mutation. Very nice, hope some line breeding can be done there:). Also is the boss red line a TB or just very high grade white and red?

LOL @ riffle tower :)

thanks mate, i have worked out it takes about 30 mins of taking pics to get 1 good photo lol

The boss red line is just a CRS line i have been slowing working away at since i started collecting. its slowly getting there..

      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.
