Just thought I'd share my chocolates re-gigged home :)

The NAG pods may or may not usually home some form of clado ball like structures. ;)

Got bored at home today that's all :)

I have joyfully named this particular tank my toy tank, mainly because there is more toys in it than actual shrimp. (Its like the playboy mansion for 10 cherries) lol. Just not many bunnies around :(

Hi Neo, not at all orininally all plants and mosses were tied on, all mosses and plant are growing straight on now :)

Roughly how long does it take to settle (attached to driftwood) without the aid of being tied ?

I gues that depends on what type of moss....

Something like flame relatively quick 2 3 weeks and it grips. Peacock is more a tie it down to something and let it do its thing, it doesn't grip to things very well at all other than itself....

Even my slowest growers still grip really quick. Buchephelandra, for example grows dead slow, but I tie it to lava rock and I can cut the string withing 2-3 weeks.

Any particular reason u don't want to tie it down? There is invisible nylon thread out there (Safeway $3)

This is usually how I go about deciding what to do :)

If it doesn't have a root structure (mosses and liverworts) tie it down

If it has fine roots, tie the stem portion temporarily(a few weeks max), or superglue 1 or 2 roots down to whatever u want to fix it to.

If it has solid roots burry it :)

      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.

      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.
