Hi everyone,

It has been a while since i posted here.

Just like to share the happy news that i have 2 berried crystals in my main 16litre tank.

 

It has been almost a year into crystal shrimps and this is my first time having some pregnant mummies.

 

Thank you jayc, simon and all who have posted threads on here regarding this hobby, i have learnt a great deal and have come a long way since i first started! Phew! I feel like i have achieved something haha.

I am happy to report that no shrimps are dying and we are growing.

 

Regards,

Jo

You're welcome Jo.

It's great to see you have so much success with your shrimps.

Nothing cuter than those baby CRS.

Great to have the update and so pleased to hear all is working out well. Those pictures are of lovely coloured/patterned crystals and it is fantastic that you have some babies, and the mother shrimp has grey eggs so they are probably not long before they hatch. You are pretty much there if you have babies and they survive, that's how I  feel anyway. I will be so pleased if I get to that point again but at the moment it is very drab but plodding on, very uninspiring!

Hope the other tanks are doing as well.

Hi Simon,
Yep! All the other tanks are doing great.
The yellow neos in the 10litre are breeding well. And the neon tetras are well too!

We are battling extremely hot and humid days over here in singapore.
I believe if i did not keep my tanks in the room with ac, their temps could reach 34°c

The ac is working very very hard indeed.
Well, i guess it just means more regular maintainence on it.

Regards,
Jo

      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.
