Ugly worms in my substrate...

They take the heat reasonably well, a friend at Gatton grows them year around in a really simple system and only the hottest day give him trouble. He always ends up with survivors to kick it off again but he dose reduce there numbers in hot weather.

Lol, you've obviously got the rare northern super nova blackworms cause any I get always die before I get home from work if I leave them out of the fridge in the morning, which has happened more than once, they smell soooo much when that happens :encouragement:

Hi Squig

You only need a couple of survivors to kick a culture off! Stewart used cut in half 20lt drums on a rack with a sump, worked a treat and kept all his Corys in breeding condition. If you want more info yell.

Oh he fed veg scrap and pollard bran, they use to produce 100s of Corys a month

      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.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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.
