Hidden shrimp


Garnelchen

Recommended Posts

Being back from my 3 week holiday I wasen't sure if all of my shrimp were still around. My Nano cube was very overgrown and I could hardly see any yellow cherries.

So today I carefully started to take out the Hemianthus (I'm going to use that in my bigger tanks that I'm getting soon). So far I've taken out a third of it and already I can see MY SHRIMPIES!

The CRS that was berried before I left is still berried....no stripey shimplets yet :(

And I think (I cannot clearly see it) one of the CBS has got eggs too :congratulatory: (Might be wishful thinking though :D)

I'm very happy to be home again! :)

Here they are...getting all exited about substrated being disturbed by me pulling out the plants.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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.
