I definitely do but I think I'll get this rack up & running first. Although I have already started planning the next one, hahaha :victorious:

Red Eyes are not so common in shrimp where Snow White have been (crossed in)' date= and they are found in Japan, if you check the photos on the blogs. For me it is a hint that Snow White do NOT come from Red Bee / Black Bee, but are some kind of hybrid either to what we nowadays still call Tiger, or even another caridina as serrata. Look at this red serrata

Thanks Imke, that's very interesting, I see what you mean as the Serrata eyes are very close in colour to the red eyed golden bee that I have :encouragement:

Hey Squiggle, does this shrimp still have red eyes?

When you posted this I was at work, but I was POSITIVE that a GB mischling I have had red eyes too. But when I went to take a photo the eyes were black! Maybe I imagined it, but maybe they changed as it grew up?

I'll have to have a look tonight & see if I can get another shot, I've also been trying to find my white rilli, I thought I saw him/her diving into one of the tubes when I walked in last night but I lost him/her in the dark :victorious:

About yhe red eyes, I got many in my tank from ss,sss and golden/snow white.

To me, the main reason might because ur light angle when u see them. Whenever I see them with the specific angle, all of their eyes are red. Correct me if I am worng :victorious:

will take some photo tmr :)

Probably, the two pics I've posted are from different angles, side on & 45deg to the front, I'll have to try & get a head on shot but they re the same from every angle for me :encouragement:

      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.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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.
