Drunk or not' date=' ya have to have a lot of optimism?[/quote']

Nothing wrong with optimism .... instead of blue (which it'll turn to black), ALL I see is a green shrimplet ! LOL

Several of my GH is turning darker (with increase PH), and a torch needs to be shined directly on it to see the green hue.....SO decided to change direction to a secret selective program to defuse the darkness of my GH..... bhahahahaha ....

Some pics of F1/F2's

LOL...only kidding....Finding the GH genes very unstable/unpredictable etc....so it'll be a few more generations etc.... tad frustrating, BUT that's where the fun and excitement is ! Still a WIP.Thanks

The GH colony underwent some "experiments", and I decided to "lighten" their colour, as they became dark with a higher PH......still green, but you had to basically shine a torch to visually see the green ! My favourite GH is berried ATM, so really curious to see her off-spring. Will post some pics soon...

That's very interesting dude, I had a couple of GH shrimplets & when I raised the TDS, Mg & hardness the all went pitch black, now I'm not sure what to do as they look awesome as proper pandas. I think WP has a lot to do with GH colour. :victorious:

True GH exist, most are pretenders and are WP sensitive?... We'll get there squiggs, the journey is where the fun is...:-)

I don't believe so …… over the next 2-4 weeks, it'll darken up, and turn black, as it matures and gets added layers… what's your PH & TDS?

      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.
