Basically anything that is packaged...if you find something you can't get here or cheap get it bro...like food, vitamins, supplements, water conditioners, mineral balls etc...

wait i'm confused, I'm sure i've read that importing shrimp food like mosura is not allowed somewhere here or on another forum?

I remember I wanted to buy some from **** and someone told me not to?

But yeh, worth a try, if you declare it then most they can do is take it.

That's because products like Mosura etc, don't have the ingredients written on the pack/bottle. :encouragement:

Safe as mate. It's when it has meat, eggs or honey in it that they get pissy.

Went back to Green Chapter to get more borneo wild food. Yesterday it was closed. Today I tried and closed again.

So I told my driver to take me to Sui Nho.

Here are some photos..

Green chapter usually doesnt open till later in the afternoon. I had the same issue when i was there. Take a photo of the panda loaches for me! i miss those cute little bastards. Try and have a look at the ADA resellers store in vietnam (just search the web). Theres one other fish shop i really enjoyed.. they had heaps of aquarium crap.. cade pipes for $20 tanks of arowanas and rays...

Yeah i went to green chapter at 1pm on monday and 6pm yesterday.

I drove past the aquarium shops but didnt stop in.

The little black and white loaches were in Sui Nho.

IM off to Nha Trang today. I wonder if there are any aquarium districts there.

Nha Trang is my favorite place in vn. Definitely stop by the Louisiana brewhouse on the right side of the coast (Next to the sailing club?). Got absolutely hammered day in day out for a week there.

Da Nang has a few hotels with aquascapes but other then that theres nothing fishy and definatley nothing shrimpy the further you travel from Ho chi Minh. Please save your time and dont go to hanoi... man that place is an absolute hole hahah

I went to the water park in Nha Trang and they had an aquarium. There were some pretty cool big fish set ups. I saw huge arowana, aligator garfish, red tail catfish, and that huge south american fish that grows 2meters plus.

Here are some pics

Thanks for the pics Johnny . I've kept most of these fishes in the past and loved them all. Brings back memory when I had 6 and 8 foot tanks.

Is that the island that you have to catch the cable cart across too or get a water taxi? I would have gone if the weather at the time wasnt so horrid. Apparently the pool on that island is the largest in the northern hemisphere.

      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.
