Hi all, it looks like its been some time since someone posted on here. But even so, i proudly would like to present some pics of wild finds in my hometown.

So i live in a town called Lucban in the province of Quezon and this town is in a hilly/mountainous area which is a ways a way from the nearest coast. The bodies of water there have a higher pH and i guess thats what i could say for now so here's some pics:

P.s. There's a lot more areas to explore and these are just some of them. I hope in the future i get to share some more...

I came upon these guys between rocks and it looked as if though they were avoiding the current. I believe these are caridina like some I caught in a different place.

Thanks for the pictures, it looks lovely, as I sit here with my jumper half way up my face as it is chilly over here, and nowhere near as green as there. Lovely clear water also!

You can see why the shrimps are brown as it is very good camouflage against the brown substrate? If they weren't on the rock you wouldn't see them at all?

      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.
