Hi All

I have a spare seat on the first of many Cape York trips this year, Not going that far up the Cape but Cooktown has a lot to offer.

The purpose of this trip is to look for Crabs. Collect Wallaby creek rainbow fish, Gap creek Trifasciata, Fresh water Morays, Big head Sleepy Cod "a PNG species that is up that way" and photograph Bennett's Tree Kangaroo or at least see one as I have not seen one yet. OH and I guess look for SHRIMP LOL

So there is a seat at the moment, all you have to do is get here and bring camping gear as we will be bases at the Lions Den pubs camp ground.

You will see Black Mountain, Cape Tribulation, Cooktown, many creeks and water falls and beautiful Rain Forest.

Leave Friday lunch time of the 17th and back Monday lunch time the 20th

Bob

If any one is interested, I can post all trips with a seat spare? your call guys

Mmmmm Lion's Den had the best pizza ever! Love that whole area, have travelled right through up the telegraph track to the tip of cape York . Sadly hadn't heard of shrimp back then (2004) so didn't go looking. Would love to come but alas not this year:(

What a great opportunity! Shame I don't live in fnq any more! It seems I missed out on a whole world of aquatic creature/plant hunting in the years I was up there :(

Hi All

The seat is up for grabs again

Remember all you have to do is get to Cairns and bring your cloths and camera, There is a lot to see and catch.

Hey Bob, any chance you can think of me if you find any tarantulas in your travels? There are some nice spiders around Cooktown :)

      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.
