Crabs are going great...I intended to re-scape their tank' date=' but haven't done so......perhaps I'll do it now ????? Just waiting for the eagles game to start !!! Go the mighty EAGLES ![/quote']

How are you planning on scaping the crab tank? Stylewise i mean.

You definately mean Manly Sea Eagles in the NRL don't you? Hehehehehehehe.

I had to laugh all over again about this thread, after mentioning on an overseas forum that I might be getting some of these crabs and the first reply from another member was "I think you need to make a journal about your crabs". I had to find a way of replying that could not be considered rude or offensive (the other forum is a stickler for "family friendly" and I am a MOD there so have to be extra careful), while letting the member know that them referring to my crabs was a riot in the comedy department.

Well there are worse things I could bring home than crabs LOL. I am not sure about if you need to take holidays. I have made a bit of an itinery for stuff to do up there just don't know how long all the things will take. I do know that we will be in Cairns at least twice before heading home and I really want to see you at least the afternoon prior to us heading home so any goodies have the least time being bagged/ conaintered.

All good it makes me laugh every time, besides I have broad shoulders.

The more people that I have with Crabs the happier I am, really why should I be the only one having all that fun???

So come on people spread the love and the Crabs, you know Dean will slap out wrists soon.

I'll drop my filthy mind for a second, i think Dave might have told me this, but theres a NT freshwater desert crab isn't there Bob? How do you reckon they'd go outside in Sydney during winter? Stopping the little fellows from climbing into my plant grow tubs may be another issue.

I would not be sure they would survive, but no one has done temp tests on them. The green one in my photos might though as it is from down south to, it could also be the same one Dave is taking about?

Really you need them inside to get to like them and breed them.

I think when I go and get the Hot pink and Sky Blue ones every one will want Crabs

That's just cruel tempting us with sky Blue crabs, I bet that is something I could get Hubby interested in since he loves his blue guppies and has shown interest in blue shrimp. His ideal is a tank of blue critters.

Possibly, possibly. I'll have a better look into it! I could get a few tanks set up on my porch, could get a heater in them i guess. Only time will tell!

How many colours are there?!

There's a lot of girls joining up lately!

Anything is a yes. I've started to take no's as yes's.

      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.
