Crazy Shrimp

Recommended Posts

Crazy shrimp, I let the Barney Springs shrimp out of their temp holding net the other week, and yesterday I happened to put the same net back into the tank because I was sorting out plants in the tank and the corys had laid eggs on the various plants I was planning on moving to another tank. Any way with in a very short space of time two shrimp had found their way back to the outside of the net. And this morning the rest of the motely crew had also rediscovered their previous safe hang out. P1000659_zpsd20a665c.jpg P1000660_zpsab0498bd.jpg Am I to take this to mean that even with a forest of plants still in the tank these crazy shrimp would prefer to back in their net?

At least now I think I know a way of catching these guys back out of the tank if I ever need or want too. Just add the net and like magic they will appear.

AWW maybe they think it will bring all their friends to them and they are waiting excitedly to tell all about this new place:redface-new:

They are pretty cool shrimp. Colourwise I guess I would say they are sort of a yellow colour, no way near as strong as say yellow cherry shrimp, more like a soft mustard.

      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.

      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.
