Hey Gang,

Need help if possible, Awaiting some shrimp from 2OFUS shipped yesterday from Syd to Canberra and not received as yet, Would anyone have Garry's Mob or could contact him to PM or text me the freight details please.

I've PM'd his profile here also.

Just a little nervous they haven't turned up.

Regards,

I have had to wait for up to 3 days' date=' so don't panic yet, ok.[/quote']

Oh really! and they were fine? I have only had 2 other shipment of shrimp to go off and that was on doorstep 1st thing next morning and came from further away. I guess I'm judging by those experiences. Having anxiety doesn't help :/

Thanks for the input Ninja.

2-3 days for express, & 1-2 days for plat. Depending on packing (i.e. kordon bags), they'll be good to 10+ days.....unsure about the freezing temps in Canberra though... shouldn't be a problems whatsoever.....

I had some missing for 17 days with out breather bags and only had 30% losses, so they are tough little critters, AP is not consistent at all.

Yes they are beauties from Gary and added assurance is Gary will look after you (as will most if not all members from SKF) if by some freak accident something happens, so you are covered.

      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.
