So i got myself some goodies for my birthday which was yesterday.

Blue bolt eating a SS CBS moult. Saw a blue bolt darting around the tank like a fool so i put the blue bolt and SS CBS female together but he couldnt get it up and get the job done so i popped in a male SSS CBS mishling matblack gave to me :P Better to have that in a box over night then a fresh blue bolt that might kick it because of the pressure.

Ruby Red. He is so hot that he burnt an eye brow off, he has a single white dash over one of his eyes hahah.

Having a bite of the mosura biscuit with my wine red, she looks to be a girl and is slightly bigger then the ruby red.

This is when i first got them and finished acclimitising them.

One of the OEBTs i bought. I also bought a few blondes. Its funny though, i took hundred of photos after getting all these but they were mostly of the tbs. Tigers are under appreciated but they are absolutely stunning. More so then the Tbs.

My older wine red

One of 2OFUS SS CRS, the white is very bright.

A full red i was hoping to turn out a male seems to be developing a saddle :(

The dad was a SSS CBS Mishling (BKKxCBS) from Matblack. Itll throw off CBS and Mishlings.

well not necessarily.. the mischlings will have a very low percentage of tb gene as its kinda watered down from crossing back to cbs..

probably not worth using in tb/mischling program as you may as well use a fresh cbs anyways..

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Thanks, day 2 in the tank and the shrimp seem fine (not done roll call yet today), I saw 9 (got 11) yesterday and no dead bodies  so I 'assume' the other 2 were hiding somewhere. I drip acclimated them over night so they had a longer acclimate and hopefully that helped, but it is early days yet, however so far so good. I am looking forward to getting blue bolts at the end of the week but I doubt they will be as pretty as yours, but at this point I will be happy enough as long as they survive. That will be the lot this time so I am calling this tank 'bruiser tank' as it will only be mixed 'black and blue' shrimps!  I don't have any rocks this time just some small pieces of lava rock. The tests I did yesterday show KH is 0-1 (you can't test for 0 obviously) and PH was 7 on the drop test but the disc meter thing in the tank shows yellow so should be below 7 (the nearest match I think is 6.6) but all the test kits show in stages, and it can be difficult to tell when they are just different shades of the same colour. The seller of the shrimps said his tanks were PH 6.8 so we are at least closely matched. GH should go down slowly with the regular water changes/maintenance etc so hopefully the shrimp can handle it being a little high temporarily, seller had GH 5-6 (I assume 6 drops) and mine is just on 7. I am pleased with the sparser/simpler tank and the fact I can just glance over and see it when I am in my usual seat is great. I have a stick on thermometer so shouldn't have a similar disaster to before and have the heater set cooler at 21 this time, though in summer the tank will go above that most of the time. Hope everything is fine with yours!

      Good luck.  I hope the Ph / KH issue is under control.  If not... Maybe use peat? Edit:  looking at a previous picture - maybe you should just remove those rocks for now

      My lil emerald green. It's a lot harder taking macro shots with 15mm glass tanks.
