Well camouflaged, must have taken you a while to spot it.

Congrats.

Would love to get a pair of king kings or pandas myself. Maybe one day.

Only reason i was looking was because i saw a the BB mammas molt on soil, and noticed a couple eggs still attached so i knew it was from her and she must have released the rest..

I searched for a while after that until i eventually found one..!

I never said it wasn't funny, just evil. :smiley_simmons: I'm sure you are right though, I reckon he'd would fall over & shiver in the fetal position if someone ever suggests he use it again, lmfao! :congratulatory:

The mum never showed much blue to start with, only a little bit when berried & the shrimplets are very similar. Got a bit of work to do on them to get the colour to show up. :encouragement:

When several of my BB's don't show good colouring, I check my Ca, and add mineral powder etc.... No doubt genetics and quality are important, but WP do play a role too. I've culled BB's into my Tibee tanks, and sometimes after 2-3 months, they blossom to a dark blue, as my tiger tank has a slightly higher TDS and GH.

      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.
