Passing the torch

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure where to put this guys so I'm just going to put it here..... With a discussion.....

Long story short and for reasons I don't want to discuss. I have to strip down a couple of shrimp tanks. I have something special that I want to hand to someone but there are conditions..

They must be offered to me first, incase circumstances change later, I would like them or their progeny back. I'd prefer them back for the price I sold them to you.......

They must go to someone who I deem is capable for caring for them, maintaining and HOPEFULLY developing the strain and perfecting it...

They must go to someone I trust and preferably know and would prefer to keep them in WA.....

What are they?

Red Rilli x Yellow "Rilli" shrimp. The progeny are blue in colour (blue velvet/ blue jelly) I have no idea how or if the colour will develop or change. I hope there's someone out there that may want them and can agree to my gentlemans agreement.

The price.... FREE!

For all the stuff Marcus has helped me with. If you have a tank available, I'd like you to have them. If not it's open slather boys. I'll personally deliver them or you can pickup at the shop.

I would like whoever takes these to take photos for me and the other users as they develop.

It pains me to do it, but that's life. We have that pond quote thing done for you too. Let me know where you'd like it sent and I'll send it on it's way.

You've given me plenty of shrimp so it's time I gave you something back. The shrimp might not turn into anything. Or they may be awesome, it's all an experiment. If you'd like I can provide you with the broodstock :)

      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.

      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.
