Hi everyone.

Glad to be a part of the community. I am getting right into shrimps, and have been keeping fish and working in the ornamental fish industry for years. Hope to learn a lot here, I have heard lots of good things about the forum.

Cheers

Ben

Definitely love the shrimp Wayne. I have just set up a 2ft tank for my son who is 6. I have got some cherries and a nice shrimp gravel. He is doing very well keeping an eye on the temps and feeding tiny amounts to them. Next he (We ;)) will be getting some CRS to add to the mixture. Then from there who knows.

Mate I love the cherries so much variety in them, all the colour of the rainbow, My advice is to stick to them for a while before venturing into the harder to keep shrimp. I have been breeding cherries in their various colour varieties now for around 3 years, and it always amazes me at the new colours that pop up, I am currently working on three projects as well as fire reds , They are Green , cobolt blue, and red tigers, Oh and also blue velvets all new colours from cherries that have shown up in the past year,

Good luck to both of you, Great to see the little blokes getting involved, Just yell if you need something

Regards

Wayne

Thanks. THe blues and greens are some of my favourites too. As with all my other addictions, (fish, fishing and gardening), I/we will soon have many tanks filled with a rainbow of coloured shrimp. :)

      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.
