Red rilli-my new found love ;)


Kev

Recommended Posts

This will be my red rilli shrimps tank. At first I wasn't really a fan, but after have a few on my tank. They have grown on me and now I am loving them. For all the different pattern on their body. Each and every one is so different.

Here are some pic:

Very nice setup. I love your Aquascape!

I wasn't to fussed on red rilli's when I first saw them online, but after getting some they have grown on me heaps. I especialy like how you can clearly see the eggs of a berried female!

Here is a pic I took a few days ago with my diy macro lens:

I've move all of my rilli into a 3ft tank with minimum plant so I can see them clearer ;)

just found this berried female this morning. Normally the eggs is yellowish colour, but this one have greenish/blueish eggs.

Sorry for bad iPhone pic, hence the colour is not true.

Any idea if the colour of the eggs determine the colour of the shrimplet ;)

i notices some have yellowish eggs and some have greenish/blueish eggs.

yellow eggs

Cheers mate. I will keep a close eye on their baby and see if I can see any different.

Spot the ugly duckling.;()

That's a pretty harsh way to talk about the RCS/Pumpkin/blue velvet/gold wild type or the CRS, which one do you consider the Ugly Duckling? :smiley_simmons:

      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.

      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.
