A little while ago someone asked what you could expect when you breed from Wild Type Cherries!!

I have had a tank online now for around 9 months This tank was only stocked with 19 wild type cherries sourced from my Red and Sunkist breeding programmes. no other stock has been added. A number of generations are now present and I am amazed at what is starting to show up. I took a few crap pictures this afternoon just to show what can happen. Sorry for the picture quality, NOGGI WHERE ARE YOU! ENJOY!post-277-139909851434_thumb.jpgpost-277-139909851439_thumb.jpgpost-3452-139909861629_thumb.jpgpost-3463-139909861632_thumb.jpgpost-3463-139909861636_thumb.jpgpost-1840-139909851443_thumb.jpgpost-1840-139909851448_thumb.jpgpost-1840-139909851453_thumb.jpg

Yes it has a gold tinge to it , there are several shades of red, green, yellow, brown, blue and two blackish :rolleyes: obviously someone from way back must have been playing up:confused: I am just going to let them all stay happy together and see what else shows up.

      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.
