I'm assuming that's where your cull shrimp go? Not that they're your cull fish, because they are beautiful!! Great photos too!

Thinking about putting my cull cherries in with my discus!

Yep, this tank is for my cull shrimp, should be great for their colouration. Thanks, I can't wait for them to colour up and then they will be absolutely stunning (hopefully).

Thats life, big fish eat little fish.... And shrimp? :p

This being a shrimp forum, maybe we should start a "safe the shrimp" campaign. LOL..poor little shrimpies.

I use to have a marine tank, and my prize fish was the lion fish....use to catch glass shrimps, and was thrilled, and loved the way the lion fish would hunt and gulp them up......I now realise that those were my days of sins, I am now reformed ! LOL

This is why I am putting my culls outside to take their chances. I watched my poor culls being stalked by the fish nowhere left to hide I am so glad I found those shrimp in my moss bucket! But I fully understand they are the end or beginning of the food chain.

I actually only want the shrimp in my discus tank as clean up crew. I reckon they'd do alright cos the discus are still small and they can't fit in their mouths!

I used to have two lions as well BB, they're amazing fish, I really would like to get another, not enough money to set a tank up though.

I like feeding these guys live food because its fascinating watching them hunting, feeding them black worms is very interesting as well, they hover above the sand and dive into it to catch the worms.

Thanks for the comments on my fish :)

I must admit, you fish are very beautiful! :)

....and I suppose they have to eat SOMETHING.

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      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.
