Hi Guys and Girls ,

Went into a fish shop today to pick up the rest of the stuff I needed for my shrimp tanks , talking to the owners son about shrimp they seem to have lots of different shrimp at cheap prices ( quality looking shrimp )

He took me out the back and showed me some king kings and pandas ( at least they looked like them to me )

I asked the price and he told me they where $250 each

Is this a good price for these shrimp ? Not that I am looking to buy just curious

Cheers Twellsy

The price that I know for panda is $250 and kk $300. Those prices are considered cheap if it's coming from a fish shop. You also a to ask are they true Taiwan bee blood line or Taiwan bee cross mishling .

ATM, $250-$300 is a fair price..especially, if they're true TB's and F2+ generation, locally bred...etc. any pics ?

Sorry no pics , I will next time I go in ( if he is ok with it ) I will also find out what they are breed from ( just wanted to get out had my three kids with me and they wanted to touch everything and I didn't want to spend more money )I just thought that price sounded very cheap as it was from a shop aswell

Cheers Twellsy

      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.
