Hi Neo- Shrimp Thank you. I don't know what the driftwood is. The glue I used is Selleys quick fix supa glue gel and magic glue pen.I prefer the selleys as it is a gel -it gives you a chance to move the plant before it sets. I like the pen because it is very accurate but the gel is best

Cheers

Yes thanks Jonx I have another piece for my other nano but it is more of a knot. hopefully planting that one out with mosses. Both were bought from petstock here in Adelaide so they should have some interstate.

Interesting thing about super glue is that it was first invented to seal wounds together (can sting a bit), it gets used at work on mice without any problems. Gives you a bit of an idea on the low toxicity levels.

It works very well but no matter how careful you are you still have white areas showing I've gone back to tying things on except if it is in a difficult spot to tie.

Best advice I could offer with driftwood is start soaking earlier, my golden vine took a couple of weeks weighted down in the tank, other pieces took even longer!

if you have a pot big enough and you want your driftwood to sink more quickly then boil it in water. It also helps to release a lot of tannins out of it prior to it going into the tank if its a type which has a lot of them in it

      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.
