+1 with Cnog how can a person not hate you BB with all those nice shrimp.

The good thing about it is, the lab is still a far way of being done, so with out AC I can not keep them, there are saving graces

DAM you BB

Nice work BB but in my opinion with your experience and knowledge you don't need luck, you just need time.

Awesome stuff BB, I've very conflicted about whether to congratulate your success or be jealous of it, those pintos are just stunning &, as Andrew said, you don't need luck, just time. I'm very keen to see the end result & I'm sure yours will look just like the last pic :victorious: Just wondering what you crossed to get this line started? If it's a closely guarded secret I understand, lol :congratulatory:

Very interesting BB, it just goes to show how much work actually goes into making pintos to get the right pattern & combination of colours, thanks for the info :victorious:

If you've got no secrets then let us know more about your "Blue Thunder" project, how's that one coming along? lol :victorious:

Update ... colouration and depth improving. 2-3 starting to stand out, and these will be removed for more selective breeding. Encouraged by some "shadow" coming through ...

      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.
