Awesome chart, i saw it shared on shrimpsider yesterday.

From this I feel like my mystery shrimp may be black line or Swiss cheese, what shrimp should I be crossing them with?

Wonder if anyone will do this for the cherry shrimp variants? Or did they all just originate from the red? Surely not?

I think there should be a chart for cherry variants, after all most of the Caridina variants stem from one source .

and with the work being done on Neocaradina Hetropoda by dedicated breeders show that they are just as variable and deserve the same recognition.

I agree Wayne but it would be even more complicated than this one

Doesn't all variant originally come from the red cherry shrimp ? So the Neocaradina Hetropoda would just be ...

Red Cherry to ALL the colour Variants ? whereas the caridina gets more completed with the Tigers, TB's, CRS/CBS/SW/GB etc...., plus the patterns etc... ?

With BB revisiting some awesome threads on shrimp care I thought that this thread should be brought back to give some of the newer members an idea of grades & also the family tree from where these grades & variants come from, thanks for the idea BB. :victorious:

      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.
