Baby Chameleons

Not the best of photos but you can see the baby Chameleon on top of the sponge to the right of the Yellow Cherry. I have counted about a doz in my tank. Most of them hang out right at the back on the sponge filter so it's hard to get a photo.

Well done new DAD

You do need a lot of detritus and micro foods for them, there would have been hundreds and the strongest few survived, that make what you are going to raise stronger and more breedable

Nice work John, but do camilion shrimp need brackish water to breed similar to Darwin and red nose shrimp?

All 3 of those will grow in fresh water with the right food provided and not a lot of competition

Since I started using Biozyme, I went from no babies to what I have now. I normally have IAL in the tank, but it seems Biozyme has been the game changer.

Since my Blackmore River shrimp are breeding quite well. I am looking forwards to seeing my chameleons start adding to my native shrimp numbers, as well as the Darwin Red Noses that I also have. Congrats on your baby chameleons.

Biozyme I had never thought of that one TA, I use green water, micro algae (salt water), spirulina and hard boiled egg yoke, any thing that helps the numbers will be good.

In time by captive breeding we all will improve the survivability by growing the biggest of the young, that in turn will produce bigger, hardier young and more of the young surviving. It happens to every thing we keep, it get easier to breed and grow and then the colours start.

Awesome work dude, congratulations!! :victorious: I have to agree, I definitely owe my success to Biozyme, it's the only thing that changed before an abundance of berried girls & shrimplets :victorious:

      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.
