I just popped home and to my long awaited expectation i finally have a berried OEBT! Took just under 2 months of long nights searching, endless blood worms and a worn patience. I should have a blonde tiger berried soon too that is heavily saddled.

The father is either:

-Blue Bolt

-Mishling

-OEBT

Fingers crossed it was a mishling :)

Other then that everything is running smooth in my tank. Berried king kongs, 10 or so berried mishlings and 10-20 berried CRS. Cant wait to see what my tank will look like next month.

Congratulations Bro! Why would you like the father to be a mischling? How many mischlings did you have to buy to get 10+ girls? I had to get like 30 and even then I had to buy girls only... Sydney is on their way now with the TB's and Tigers!

I want my babies to look like the ones ninja had. Rather not have a TB x Tiger because they look feral. I probably bought... 20-30? some are still young so lots of waiting ahead. I do pick out the ones i think are males at a really young age and separate them but there is a chance theyll be girls.

You are one lucky Ba$tard to get that many girls in 20-30, in the 30+ juvies I got probably got 8-10 girls...So had to purchase another 10 or so girls. Looking real good there and getting Syd one step closer in the TB breeders chart!

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      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.
