Hi all, just thought I would throw a few photos of the 2nd gen. I'm umsure as to how they will eventually turn out but they are around 3-4weeks old and looking more orange than red at the moment.

Thanks for the comments, they are very orange at the moment but I am unsure if it's due to the lighter coloured gravel or if they will colour with age. I will be changing to a pure black gravel soon and painting the back wall black, so see what happens.

gbang put some pics of yours up so we can compare.

Cheers mick

I would consider rephrasing that especially with the rumors of gbang going around. Lol!

+1 LOL....

Smiko, are they 8-10mm yet ? If they still remain orange, and if you want something to compare with, I'll send you a sunkist for a true comparison.....:-)

Bahahaha you guys are evil. I will put pics up ASAP. They are currently in a bare tank so it will be really good to see their colours without dark substrates. I will move them soon and ill take pics again.

Beautiful shrimplets you have there smicko! It would be really interesting to compare the colouring of your orange babies to a pumpkin/sunkist (I still don't know if those are different or the same xD) shrimp :)

And I'm drooling over the blue rili! ;)

Thanks for the nice comments and the cheeky ones too lol. I really should think about how I word sentences.

Bb they would be around the 8mm mark. I have one or two that are a brighter red buy most are orange.

Jess. The blue rilis are my greatest achievement so far I cant wait for them to grow and breed.

Cheers mick

      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.
