Finally managed to get 2 well patterned carbon rilli's to breed...they share the same tank with my OEBT's, so not ideal WP, but not too fuss, as quality not quantity is my priority. I'm attempting to get all my cherries to acclimatise through generations to the TB/Tiger WP, so that I can double up on all my tanks....

The best "carbon" colour I have is this, but still trying to get a better rilli pattern...1F5A5962-2A31-45E9-BE4F-A5298B486C0E-1256-0000024FB1562B93.jpg

WOW, they look awesome.

I saw some "carbon rilli" @ Polyart in Singapore and they looked slightly different... they were like this but bellys were blue.

The initial batches of carbon rilli were blotchy, and didnt have the distinct rilli pattern. I cull all of them that does not posses the rilli trait, and only selective breed the "rilli" pattern the way it should be ...iMO of course. Finally seeing some quality carbon rilli's internationally too, as they were previously far in between.

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      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.
