Thankyou :) You'll notice that in a couple of Pics the largest fermale black cherrys are berried - so hopefully lots of little blacks to come ;)

Great work pappyy3, great to see so many hobbyist trying to improve the quality/colour of shrimps....the humble red cherry shrimp has fallen off the quality rail recently, but no doubt many are also trying to improve on this.

Were your blacks out of the chocs originally ? Are the shrimplets coming out 100% blacks yet ?

Thanks Bluebolts. Yes the blacks originated from the chocolates. Funny thing is I'm getting close to a 50 per cent mix of blacks and browns in the offspring. Ocassionally they will throw a handful of nicely colored Royal Reds as well ...

That's great pappyy3, on the right track. Out of all my chocs, blacks...etc, and with all the shrimplets out of all the batches, I've only ever had one royal red ! Other hobbyist like GBang who agve them away, seems to produce them quite easily....just luck of the draw huh.

      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.
