He wants $100 a pair and it says. "True pumpkins . NOT cherries"

and $35 each for juveniles which are bred from true pumpkins not cherries

so I'm guessing he has been mis informed somewhere along the line. Are they worth that much or is he kidding himself with that price cause I have never seen them for sale before

No that sounds about right. I think a member on here recently sold a pair with 1 juvi for $200. However he is misinformed about the cherry thing. Unless maybe he's trying to state that they aren't RED cherries because some dishonest people have been known to sell poor quality washed out red cherries as pumpkin/sunkist. However, pumpkin shrimp are a variant of Neocaridina heteropoda (cherry shrimp) and therefore will cross with other kinds of cherry.

He means they are not faded red cherries. You get red cherries off colour and some people call them orange shrimp.

Ive bought these pumkins from this add. They are pumpkins. The seller is a member of this forum with the best crs going around in sydney in my opinion.

Oh ok well that is good to know that he is a reputable seller I will prob buy some off him now. He might just want to change the wording a bit because I instantly thought he was full of it.

Because I don't wanna cut anyone's grass

Surely if there are no other sales on it would be OK?

But the classifieds section is for anyone to use?

You might get more sales through here since people might trust you because they know who you are? There's not really been many pumpkin shrimp adds on here so i dont think you'll be "cutting anyones grass"... :)

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.
