I was wondering how my tiger kept escaping, turns out it was going against the current.

I have seen cherries climbing the airline over a 4cm high divider.

Shrimp are crafty little buggers

Not good! I like my shrimp to stay in their tank. Glad my water level is a bit lower than that.

Tricky little fellow! Cutest little struggle though! Hope he stays in his box from now on, could be messy with him getting out.

I'm always sceptical, when I see/hear shrimps escaping. Years ago, mine frequently did that, but since I've learnt and ensured great WQ, tank maintenance & ample food, I don't see any escaping. Appreciate they are inquisitive, i.e. checking out if the grass is greener on the other side etc....BUT, I'd be wary of this behaviour......whales beach themselves for a reason !

The grass on the other side is the same grass that is in the inside :) Its the breeder box with the water flowing in. He just doesnt like being in the breeder box with girls. Maybe they make him nervous? intimidated?

I had a golden bee & a couple of SS CRS go for a walk, long story short, didn't turn out well for them :dejection: Very cool video Robert though, caught in the act :encouragement:

      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.
