Welcome fellow Central Queenslander. Your marine rank sounds sweet. But I fear you are quickly going to fall ill with an incruible addiction to fresh water shrimp. LOL

Great photos, is that using a proper SLR or just a phone camera? Colour is stunning in that eel, is that a snow flake?

Hi Clipper the photos are taken with my iPhone mate and yes the eel is a snow flake its has been named boogers by my niece because of it nostrils and it has to be my favorite fish it also the hardest to get a good photo of because it does not come out much in the daytime.

Hey Squiggle

Snowflake eels are the coolest I have had boogers (my niece's name for him)for about two years and he is about 2 1/2 foot and this one has not eaten any of my Peppermint shrimp that I can tell but I have some 20 or 30 Peppermint shrimp hard to keep track of them in the rocks have not seen any white ribbon eels around was going to get a blue ribbon eel but read that they are sometimes hard to keep alive and will eat any fish it fit in it mouth.

Blue ribbons are awesome too & yeah they will eat anything small enough including you peps, they are fussy about WP but as long as they are feeding they're happy. Wow, he hasn't even picked off one? He must be very well fed. Boogers, I love it, it does look they have some hanging out, lol :victorious:

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.
