Hi guys,

I'm a relative beginner to shrimp/fish keeping, but I'm loving it. I currently keep CRS, red cherries, yellow cherries (separate to the reds of course), DAS, Darwin Red Nose, blue and white zebra (sold under that name, not sure what they really are).

I also have a couple of tanks of various fish.

My setups are not fancy at all (yet), but I am learning all the time :)

My other main hobby is photographing all those fish and shrimp! Hope to contribute and learn from this forum.

Welcome to SKF Watfish,

sounds like a very good mix of shrimp you have already, will be great to see how the Blue & white zebra caridina go for you as not many people have had to much luck.

we all love a good photo on here to and look forward to seeing many cool pics.

hope you enjoy your stay and learn a lot from out great members and forum.

:encouragement:

Thanks for the warm welcome guys :)

Hey nogi, remember how I was so impressed by your 4ft main tank? I've finally been given the approval to get a 4x2x2, but mine will be for fish, not shrimp :P I'll still have a tank for shrimp and another for my Betta.

Where's the forum for photos?? :)

Thanks Nogi! I'll install it later. I was more thinking about location of flash (soft box or not) to the angle of the camera, etc.

Wow I'm blown away by your zebra pics, would love to know how long you have had them, your conditions for keeping and if you have had breeding success. I think this is my next shrimp to delve into over the newer kk etc, very keen to see the local option expanded into the hobby!

and

welcome to SKF by the way ;)

      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.
