That's a sexy sight BB. my fingers are crossed.

you might want to kill me for this but tonight i took a 3 week prego bluebolt out of her tank (PH 7.9, GH 12 KH 7 TDS 409)

and put her in a new tank (PH 6.2 GH 4 KH 2 TDS 213) without drip method. i put her in a cup of water that was half full and just filled the other half with new tank water

waited 20 mins and put her in the new tank :stupid:

so far no probs, she looks happy and didnt drop her eggs so im hoping in a weeks time i have babies lol not a dead shrimp.

Well done BB, they are soooo tiny. How many do you think she dropped? Do you know what other colours she may have dropped at the same time?

Thanks ALL.....

Yeah they're only days/week old...the KK is now turning black, from it's green hue beginnings, and the colours of the WR & BB are strengthening up. Current count on this batch is..

11 x BB

10 x KK

7 x WR

but hopefully they'll be more, once they get bigger and become more visible !

Ah ok :)

I was thinking what am I doing wrong. The biggest drop I can see is around 8 surviving shrimps per berried.

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.
