The Choc Cherries are conitnually producing various colours of shrimplets...several of the blue shrimplets eventually turned brown, but notice 3-4, 12mm shrimps staying a vibrant blue.

The availability of the chocs are great, as it's given anyone the ability to produce variations, and a great start to a breeding program....a major part of the fun of our hobbies eh ! Improving quality and securing a variant ! Had 2-3 orange cherries too...will take some pics of them tomorrow.....

PM Dean....I originally bought 2 pairs off him...there are other members here that also have the chocs, otherwise there's me all the way over in WA......

I've always love the CRS/CBS, TB's etc...and until I got the chocs, and it produced these varieties.....I just want all sorts of colour, patterns etc now (the mad collector in me is bursting out).....some of the shrimplets are transparent, and even with tiger type stripes through them ......

We should start a variety thread of cherries...and maybe swap particular varieties with other members so that each member can start a selective breeding program ? i.e. if I have 3-4 blue cherries, and 1 purple cherry (No I don't, but just as an example), and another member here has 1 blue cherry, and 2 purple cherries, then we'll swap and say I get all the blues, and he gets all the purple ? May get complicated, but in the true spirit of this forum, perhaps possible ?

Hmmm, Can anyone sell me some Choc Culls? Like the ones you dont wish to selective breed? Would love to start a selective breeding program.

      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.
