nice shrimp once again alvin how do the hino come about.. are the purely accidental ' date='or is line breeding essential..?:D[/quote']thanks for compliments.. heheWell, initially I did get a pair of KK hinomaru... but when putting them to breed individually seems to weaken their offspring.. Right now I am mixing it with my blue based KK pandas to try...Just before Chinese New Year, I got a surprise from my KK colony because there is 1 KK hinomaru offspring without any KK hinomaru parents... hope that I will have more slowly.. giving myself time now...thanks!! but.... these shots are not taken by me... hahahaha...

Thanks bro BB.. Benibachi is just one of the many renown lineages around.. But they have gone commercialize with their many many products..Mine were initially bought from Taiwan and selectively bred.. After that gotten high grade from Taiwan also' date=' to further improve and enhance the genes.. :)
Wow Alvin, you always bring out stunning shrimp, love the strong full colours, they're amazing :encouragement:
Thanks for compliments bro.. Haha..
Fantastic shrimp Alvin :encouragement:
Thank you...

Right now the tanks' wall of my recently set up tanks are growing with green algae.. Which is also what I am aiming for.. It's a sign to me that tanks are stable to a certain extend..

      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.
