I've been focused in improving the genetic strength of my Wine Reds over the past 4+ months. I've crossed them with KK, BB, traded and purchased diff. genetic lines to strengthen them, as I've had several un-explained deaths, and OBVIOUSLY blamed it on genetics.....surely it can't be me.:angel:

Thought I'd share some pics of the better, more improved WR's ...

B-U-T-FUL! but BB I see planaria, 3rd pic! You wouldn't believe what I saw in one of the bamboo caves today, an infestation of hydra! i only noticed it when I shone a torch inside it. Does no planaria work on hydra? May get that product Dean tested.

No planaria killed the hydra in my tank

Good to know buddy thanks! Was I shocked when I saw the numbers in there, I don't know why they all went in there but, only a couple in the whole tank but in the bamboo cave was around 20 or so and they are only 5cm long single tube caves.

I wouldn't recommend using " no planaria" in a tank with TB. No planaria does kill hydra 100% but lots of breeders do loose a small amount of shrimps. Some breeders claim to never loose a shrimp using no planaria but myself and my friends all have lost shrimps using that product so you can imagine if one TB dies.

Only the ones with people's names or those that have a cause other then BBs breeding programs are the ones that seem to be dying. Strange no?

      Planaria video - Chris Lukhaup

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.
