Wow postage has gone up a lot!!! I know it was mentioned the other day but I received a parcel from NSW today the item cost me $36 but the postage which thankfully for me was free but for the seller it was $18.50 no money made on that transaction. That was for an item under 500g. Posting shrimp is going to cost a lot by the look of it!!!!

I know what you mean, I posted some fish the other day & they didn't have any 5ks bags so I had to do it by size, ended up was cost twice as much! I let the chick have it, I said why do I have to pay twice as much for postage when it's your fault that you have no stock, that's not fair that I should have to pay for you incompetence! She gave me a credit for the difference of the price, win! :encouragement:

Yeah you're probably right but she didn't seem like the type, she was all apologetic about being out of stock. The fish got the in one piece & alive so I'm happy :encouragement:

I was very surprised I have to say especially as this was an ebay item with free postage. I don't think there will be many free postage items anymore!

I don't know how they can make money on some of those free postage items sometimes, I bought an item from HK for $2 with free postage, it just doesn't add up :confused:

No you are right they must get their items very cheap. This item I got from interstate was very cheap for what it is so the poor person selling it may not have been aware of the price rise.

      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.
