I was taking a few pics late this afternoon of my orange breeders and little ones, when i spotted this little bloke in their midst, he is only about 3mm and would not stay still for the pictures. Amongst a sea of orange he stands out like a sore thumb. i will try and hunt him down over the next couple of daye and see if I can get better pics. He is actually a deep blue in colour the pict have a bit of reflection.post-29-139909857292_thumb.jpgpost-29-139909857291_thumb.jpgpost-29-139909857297_thumb.jpgpost-29-139909857295_thumb.jpg

substrate!!!! guys you are all going to shudder brrrrrrr a bit of well washed sea sand and a bit of black and grey river gravel

PH ATM 7.5 :cower:

I am always supprised at the odd shrimp that turns up when you start line breeding.:smiley_simmons: I never know what my next move will be,:encouragement:

I could throw him in with the little white one sometime in the future, Thats if I can find them again. Who Knows??? Thats what I like about this hobby the challenge!!!!! and the unknown.

      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.

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
