Hi All

As I have not taken a camera into the field of late because we have FINALY had some rain. I though I would put up some plant shots, all the plants are growing in the wild up here.

I trust you will like them and I will name what I can remember.

A to be named moss

Wow bob these shots are awesome, love the half underwater shot. I've got a waterproof point and shoot camera and can never get it to come up that clear.

That pellia is so lush!!

The last plant is a eriocaulon of some sort, I found a realy nice small one a few weeks back but don't know where I put it? it will turn up.

Point and shoot camers take out to there max mega pixels, that way you can crop it down if you don't like it and if it has a light adjuster on it us it at various settings, About one in 50 shots turns out usable, I mostly do under water video in fresh water.

I will put all my video gear together one day and take a photo to put up here and i will do the same with my water test equipment.

OH meant to say there is a moss app coming, it is on the whole family of them from the wet tropics, it is for tablets not that that means much to me but when it is ready I will yell.

I am providing some high res photos for it.

I think that one is Mini Bolbitis grown under water, I have a nice big clump growing out of water I can split up.

One of those ferns grows like the big Bolbitis, realy nice

      Planaria video - Chris Lukhaup

      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.
