Hi Guppyluv,

one dropped yesterday but I didn't know until too late and can't see any babies hiding. I have spent ages trying to catch the other female but just not quick enough - funny enough I keep catching the one that had the babies- go figure!!!! I pulled that particular tank a big 200 litre to pieces last week and really don't want to do it again so soon. i might have to miss this lot of fry and catch them both up in the next fortnight by then they should be gravid and I can keep them in the breeding net together. Good luck with yours

Cheers

Ineke:encouragement:

Wow, you guys are going great guns, I hope it hasn't created too much hassle. I will be honest, I had a bit of a giggle when I first read this thread but I'm glad you guys are getting lots of little baby Endlers, I told you they were like aquatic rabbits :encouragement:

Mr squiggle must have a habit of giving away pregnant girls. I had my chillis for 2 days before one of them dropped I think they turned into feeders for the halfmoon pair or they hide really well lol.

Cheers mick

      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.
