Thanks guys and gals

At the moment I am breeding mostly L numbers 201,002,046 lots of peps and just got some new 270's to try. I have tonnes of red cherry shrimp wh o keep my Pleco tanks clean but am in the process of tracking down some blue cherries and also maybe some crs. I have also got some riffle shrimp which I am currently trying to breed which I think might have happened already cause there is a couple in there that are smaller then I remember the originals being. Can anyone tell me exactly what shrimp are available in Australia because it doesn't seem like there is much info out there confirming what is here?

Ooooooo! L046's are my favourite :encouragement: basically you can get cherries, red, blue, yellow, orange, chocolate, black & green, there's also Rillis, red, blue gene red & blue, all the grades of CRS & CBS & then you can get Taiwan bee, panda, King Kong, wine red, ruby red & Bluebolts, there's also tigers & tibees. That's pretty much in order of difficulty of keeping as well :victorious:

Hey mick,yeh Ben aka fishmosy got me onto it cause I told him I was keen on getting some more shrimp. I bought 10 yellow cherries about a year ago and within 2 weeks had one left. Turns out there was 2 dragonfly larvae in the tank,little #######. But I am keen to have another crack at them.

Why do all the cherry shrimp varieties get special names except the "YELLOW" kinda feel for them, from now on we should call them "Lemon Shrimp!"

There is a guy advertising some online and he says specifically that pumpkin shrimp are not a kind of cherry. Just wanted to make sure that he was full of it

      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.
