Hi

Recommended Posts

Thanks to allow me to join this forum. Keeping fish is my hobby since I was in junior high school.

Last year I start having a aquascape tank for my son. Only Cardinal tetras and moss. Then I start adding cherry shrimps, amano shrimps, Rilli shrimps, and Red Fire Shrimps. It's fun to see them crawling arround the moss.

Then I start keeping CRS but it was difficult. They died one by one.

I ask friends to find tips from others shrimps keepers, then i can start keeping crs with the proper start (cycle the tank, understand the nitrogen cycle, etc).

Now the are breeding in my tank. I also try to breed the higher grade shrimps. It's a good hobby..

      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.
