Wow dude, that's a serious butt load of RCS, well done. I'd hate to be the one separating & grading them, it's gonna take hours, lol :encouragement:

Won't be sorting the whole lot as they are all shrimp lets from my program and coming up pretty good so it's more of a while I'm looking at the tank and spot one it will be added apart from that they'll all be used to colonise my tubs after I sell my e.blue colony as the melanogenys and cyps won't have too much of a drastic effect on their numbers.

the tank is an 8x2x2&2/3 my display tank but since I moved in to a house on piers it won't be going inside. Have to still clean and sterilise the filter before I plumb it back up so just threw all the shrimp lets in to grow up. With all that space im hoping they should also get a bit more size to them faster as well as over all size.

So I had a battle with green water and finally got my new pump in to help fix the problem. After a couple weeks the water has cleared up enough to present to you this next clip. Unfortunately the plants had suffered a bit from lack of light and the home made air driven filters are still in for a couple more weeks while the new filter colonises.

That has cleared up from when I last saw it mate. Gotta be happy with that. How do the peps in there look?

Pepps are around 2ft long... You must have over looked them as they're so big from all the algae they've been feeding on! Lol. Theyre all around 7-8cm now, one out the back in a crevice and a couple under the air drivens. Really don't know what happened to the others. They may still be in there. Will have to do a spotlight mission to confirm numbers.

will put a better clip up soon

      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.
