Okay, I joined this forum to look for more shrimp to buy and to learn more. I am on the other forum known as Jonny Dexter.

Ive been an active member on the other forum but just am shocked, ashamed and embarrassed after reading the threads 'funny', the fake marimo ball and learning from here that 'the whiz' got banned for trying to get a fair go, and also about the multiple user names of moderators and admin selling poor quality shrimp and ripping people off. Its a disgrace.

Also the fake red wine competition was an embarssment.

So because of this I want to jump ship

I hope you guys will accept me in this forum.

G'Day JonX, Thanks for your honest approach. SKF rocks, as we REALLy do have genuine hobbyist here, with the vested interest of our hobby and members.....unfortunately, there are numerous un-truths, but ALL post/threads here are genuine, otherwise I'm sure the mods will delete and kick the guilty out ! The close forum is to restrict undesirables, and attract true hobbyist.

Welcome again, and I have no doubt you'll make up your mind quickly on the integrity of this forum, it's members and all that it has to offer.:)

Thanks for the welcomes. I hope to learn and contribute on this forum.

I currently have 2 tanks.

First is a 2ft divided tank into 3 sections. This has been running for 1 month now.

1st division yellow cherries and snow whites

2nd division high grade crystal red shrimp

3rd division crystal black shrimp

I also have natives in each of these sections to help with the algae.

My other tank is a 30cm cube which used to house all the above shrimp. I have had the shrimp since juvies and they should be up to breeding size hopefully in 1 month. Only the yellow cherries have grown up and bred so far. I might transfer all the yellow cherries into the 30cm cube so they don't disturb the snow whites.

My plans so far is to have a tank densely populated with shrimp that I have bred myself.

Cheers.

      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.
