Oh Garnelchen! What a lovely kitchen you have! I'm so jealous! Cube looks great, but definitely room for more :p

That is an awesome kitchen indeed Garnelchen!

Anyways here are a few pictures from my shrimp tanks:

First is a 2ftr with some yellows in it that I am trying to get to breed, they seem to be getting small shrimps out but I've only got one to a decent size. It is also currently plagued by freshwater limpet's which the gf hates, any easy way to get rid of them?

Next is my 4ftr which is in a rack, it just has some Red Cherry Shrimp in it, but also contains a few breeding L144's and 4 royal whiptails :)

I am hoping to set up another 4ft set up, but first my other rack needs to be sold so I can use the funds to really go all out properly on that one, hopefully next week the person that said they will pick it up will come pick it up :)

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      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.
