I took a couple of photos of a couple of my cherry shrimp girls and have no idea what grade or colour pattern you would call them.

First picture is with a flash

Second pic, same female no flash

Different female, with some juvis around her. I think at least two males are in the picture as well....that or juvi females

I would call them all Sakura grades. Especially the third one. Although all parts of the girl in the first two pics are fully coloured. The red is not solid enough and there are patches of dark blue. Painted fire would also be painted red in Colour while these are very slightly transparent and the saddle is visible.i have to add that I remember you posting a few girls a while ago who were higher quality than this whom I would have classified as fire to painted fire

Yeah I should have some really solid red females in the tank, so solid that you can not even see the saddle, but I have to wait for them to decide to be near the front of the tank to get decent photos.

Thanks for the tips :)

Thinking about doing a cherry shrimp hunt and cull in the 4ft tank so I might be able to wrangle some of the better girls out in the open.

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      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.
