Hi everyone,

Im relatively new to shrimp well at least to these more expensive ones.

I have had glass shrimp in my old tropical 3ft along time ago, hundreds and hundreds of them. Then moved onto fish so currently have a display 5ft african cichlid tank.

Then moved onto catfish by having some peppermints in the 5ft to reduce algae, then thought it would be fun to breed them so up goes the 3ft again.

Then moved to shrimp since they are fine with the peppermints in the 3ft.

Currently just yellow cherry shrimp at the moment because they are hardy and not as common as the red, but definetly want some crs or blue cherries in the future.

My misses thinks im nuts so im not allowed any more for a while.

The yellow cherries are going good tho currently have 3 berried :)

Welcome to SKF! You need to educate your Misses ..... not that I could get mine on side .... but a divorce fixed that!

But seriously lots of great people here! Good luck with the yellows you are doing better than me - 7 saddled females and waiting!

Cheers

Greg

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      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.
