Whats up with my TB shrimplets???

Recommended Posts

The first batch of TB babies i got looks like jelly. First i thought they were still too young and thats why the colour thickness weren't there. But after two months they are still the same. I heard it might be my WP but the second batch of TB babies has the normal TB colour thickness. So it might not be my WP.

I did a little research on the net and I found some pics and articles that are similar to my TB babies.

What's your PH & KH JP ?

The blue may represent a low GH/Light, and green a low PH. BUT If they maintain those variants, that'll be fantastic. If your 2nd batch is coming through normal, then perhaps you've got some cool morphs coming through....Great work JP..:applause:

Hi Marcus. I have just checked the wp, KH 0-1, GH 4-5 and PH 6.0. I use a single 4ft T5 light, its on for 5-6 hours everyday.

It would be cool to have new morphs in our awesome hobby :) But its still a long long way yet but who knows someone, somewhere in Australia might have started it already. That would be awesome :encouragement:

G'day BB, here is a lil update. The colour are still the same and they are not getting darker. I think they might be getting abit more greener. I cant find the jelly KK anymore (dead maybe) :(

1st batch panda and 2nd batch panda. As you can see the 1st batch is still greenish and the 2nd is a much darker panda.

No worries. Ya i like them, they are different. Looks like another setup is needed for select breeding them OMG. Tank Ph is 6.0 and the TDS is 210.

Cheers bro. They are slowly getting bigger.

Cograts to this shrimplets - in fact not all greenish and bluish Taiwan Bee change coloration in interdependence to pH and KH. Some breed true and keep the color. Good luck!

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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!
    • sdlTBfanUK
      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.
