Ineke, did you consider setting up a cull tank? It's an excuse for another tank after all.......

That was supposed to be my fish tank , a very deep and wide 200 litre tank with lots of hiding places but my Angels have grown very big and fat and I can't see any shrimp. Now I have a huge fish tank filled with well fed fish. I just can't put any more shrimp in there!

im trying to up size the tanks I have but not add to them:encouragement:

Angelfish and shrimp' date=' nom nom :encouragement::p[/quote']

I know they weren't supposed to be in the tank but hubby loves angels so he won that one!!! But I suppose there are some culls that you shouldn't pass on because people will still use them to breed with their other shrimp and suddenly you have lots of poor quality shrimp as in the RCS.

We have angels too. There are too many nice fish and shrimp to keep and not enough tanks to keep them in! :dejection:

Angels just fill the middle of the tank so nicely and they are beautiful fish that interact with us. As to the shrimp like most new shrimp keepers I wanted everything I could get and now need to cut back and concentrate on less types but what to let go:dejection: First I will up size those small tanks and then decide which cherries I REALLY want- that will be a good start.

Then on to the Crystals if I can decide which to keep that in it self will help with space issues but I'm a shrimp hoarder and it will be hard. I know which shrimp cannot under any circumstances go but it's so hard with the others to decide who stays and no one can help me with that one!:D

      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.
