Thanks for the the pics...is the panda in the 1st pick a green hulk ? Is there a shrimp shop in Jakarta that specialises on shrimps, or did you import these shrimps yourself ?

thanks torface. Yes' date=' better viewing and easy to count.
nice tank and nice shrimp! do you think sponge filter is a must for baby shrimp?
Thanks kunzy. I use sponge filter as additional media for bactery, back to back with the canister. In case one of them failed or on maintenance for cleaning, we still have the other one. I believe this will ensure enough number of bactery colony.

Beautiful shrimp HelvinHT awesome colours. I see you use an undergravel filter but very modified. How do you find it? I have always liked the under gravel but it doesn't get used much here for shrimp. The layers you are using should build up great bacteria for the tank -thanks for sharing:encouragement:

So nice to see overseas shrimp, Helvin, thank you for showing us.

How long have you had the Cardinals, have they bred?

What conditions do you have them in? Are they wild caught or tank bred?

      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.
