I am retired and live on the NSW north coast. My main interest is breeding Disuus. As you know these are high maintenance. I am looking at starting something that requires less maintenance and have decided to try shrimp. I came across this forum by accident. currently I have no shrimp at all. Does anyone have any for sale that they could ship. I would like to start with about 10 reasonable A-s grade CRS's. I will eventually go out of discus. On the forum I don't seem to be able to find "shrimp for sale". I am not very good with computering.

Hi Paul! from another retired bloke welcome aboard. enjoy your venture into shrimp. Some people might dissagree with me but start your shrimp collection off with cherry shrimp, many colours are available and they are a lot hardier than CRS/CBS and good to sharpen your shrimp keeping skills on. There are plenty of nice cherry shrimp on sale at the moment. You will find all the help you need, from our members on this forum. ENJOY!

Hey Paul, welcome to the forum.

I'd agree about starting with RCS, cheap, hardy, colourful and not so expensive when you make those mistakes whilst learning.

      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.
