I have two snow whites. The larger one is 100% saddled female. The smaller one ive been leaning towards female but right now it is 'going crazy' .

Same scenario with my cbs.

One definate male is also going crazy. All my known females are just normal.

So my question is: Is it only the males who do the crazy sexy dance?

If so then I have found a male for my loney girl snow white. :)

I have never seen a female zooming around the tank whilst the males do t heir testosterone filled dance around the tank looking for her.

I think in my experience they tend to hide more so then zoom to preventing teh sexual harrassment of a heap of males

try putting them in a breeder box overnight and see if shes berried in the morning, i have done it in the past :)

From my observations, only the males in my tanks (5 atm) do the crazy dance. Swimming around like looking for a certain scent. So I would say yes she should not be lonely anymore.

Ive put them in the 1st division with the yellow cherries. They were with the cbs.

The sss cbs male is cruising around also might get a berried cbs.

Or the scent could come from the crs (middle divison).

Hopefully someone gets lucky. :)

I have an aquamanta box and a sudo box which i previously used as per my last post but i am actually going to get a couple of the internal ones to avoid the massive temp increases i get here.

I used to swear against the shrimp caves but when i did my selective breeding, i added the same substrate some moss and a shrimp cave and in 48 hours i had 4 berried females from 2 selected males. Once i get some breeders i will be doing the same thing again only because i have a mix in my tank and its my best bet to avoid cross breeding.

The males tends to go crazy and go dashing around the tank, enchanted by the freshly moulted female.....looks like you're going to be a daddy soon.

Kept with ss and sss all high quality.

I have high hopes for quality babies.

Very happy because I raised this shrimp from a juvenile.

Congratulations bro! I think it is the stormy weather that is creating a breeding frenzy! Some of my shrimp have berried up as well!

Thanks chi. I topped up with about 2 liters of rain water which might have helped.

Rain water in cabramatta has a tds of 12.

I don't think it is 12 all the time, depends on where the rain clouds flew in from and the pollutants in them. May be 12 one day and 500 next time.

If you can see eggs under her belly then they are fertilised. They don't get there unless having bred with a male and fertilized as I know it.

      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.
