I think you're looking at red wine shrimps. Much more solid/painted red coverage and little whites.

No, Red wine and super reds are different. Red wines are Taiwan Bees while super reds are crystals, like a reverse grade CRS.

And good work Ace, I plan on doing the same thing with CBS when I get some good stock.

Keep us updated ace, I'm working on this also, but recently lost my project female but still have a nice male and a couple of juvis to keep it going.

This looks like an interesting project! I wonder if anyone has acheived a CBS that is mostly black? Fake KK lol.

I have seen a single photo on a German website, they don't look as good as KK, they're still cool though, I'm going to work on a line as soon as I get some quality stock (I have a source in mind) I'll call them poor mans KKS.

Good work mate' date=' was the male a good red also? Can't wait to see the babies ;)[/quote']

The male was not as good so hoping to get some nice male from her to breed back.

      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.

      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.
