My yellows had babies after all...well at least one!

I just found a teeny tiny baby shrimp in my tank.

I thought it was a bit of snail poo :D but it has eyes! ...and it moves.

It is so cute! *happy dance*

:applause::triumphant:

Thanks Ineke It's really really exiting....especially because I thought that she had just lost the eggs some time ago and there were no baby shrimp at all.

I saw the baby shrimp again just then....I think I will name him "Snail Poo" :)

I now have discovered that Snail Poo is not an only child, I saw 2 shrimplets....so Squiggle was right once again.

They are just so hard to spot even when they are not hiding.

And there is a new berried Mama Shrimp in there too! :encouragement:

I just discovered new yellow shrimplets, the second batch! :triumphant:

The older shrimplets from 3 weeks ago already look like giants compared to the brand new ones.

Wow! Shrimplets grow really fast! :encouragement:

I remember not so very long ago you sat staring at an empty shrimp tank wondering if you would ever get some and here you are now making your own:applause:

Awesome stuff Garny, they do breed like rabbits so you will get a population explosion, so definitely time for more tanks, lol :encouragement:

Yes all yellow, just not yours for some reason, hahaha :victorious: it really is a head scratcher why yours aren't prolific breeders, hopefully with the injection of new blood in the tank it will kick them off :encouragement:

      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.
