Hi Luke81 welcome to SKF . Lots of people here coming from fish to shrimp, just slightly different WP's needed as some shrimp a bit more finicky than most fish. Nano tanks are great just need to be aware of heat issues with them in summer. Lots to learn here hope you enjoy our forum. Feel free to ask any questions someone will be able to help you. As you post more of the forum will open up for you to enjoy

And don't forget pictures, we all love to see new setups.

Hahaha, it's a bunch of scientists playing a trick on a colleague, it's a compressed air gun with foam packing beans in it, the guy got flung across the room & just got the wind knocked out of him, I've seen the full vid & he got up pretty much straight away, bit dazed & confused but definitely ok, science nerd humor, lol :smiley_simmons:

I heard on tv tonight rioters in US were getting shot with bean bags, must be big guns or little bags, but I guess they were talking about the beans eh? They definitely said bean bags though?

Nah, those bean bags are totally different, they a literally small fabric bags with dried bean in them & the do hurt, the guy in the gif got shot with foam packing beans, they are bean shaped pieces of polystyrene for filling space when packing boxes :encouragement:

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.
