Yeah well.. if there was 12 tb id say there was about 12-15 mischlings too...

Although she let the mischlings go early in my normal crs tank.. :crushed:

I dix take out some cbs babies that id say are mischlings but not 100%

...im just gonna grow those babies and use fems for breeding back to tb in future..

If its mischling sweet.. if its cbs.. well then ill just have more mischlings...cant loose

The challange is not the numbers, but the succesful breeding and rearing of the shrimplets.

Just tell the girlfriend they're cherries.... :-)

Lol. She knows the prices already. Hopefully i come back after the shut down to a tank of full of high grade shrimplets with my current berries.

Then I can make funds for the elusive Tai Bees. :)

Ok BB you finally tisted my arm enough..lol

The baby pandas have grown very slowly and range from 3mm to approx 5 mm .its kinda weird because they are from the same batch..

Ive also managed to kill a couple :crushed:

I can find 5 or 6 total from the initial 12 i had originally..

Anyways enough rambling.. piiiiiics....!

      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.
