Hi Guys, Today after a fair amount of work, my tank is now up and running again, dividers are in and most of the inhabitants are in their right places.

Thanks to the heroic efforts of all of you, my losses are not too bad. The main casualties are my CBS 10 missing CRS all gone! about 5 of my Empire Gudgeons plus one fire tail gudgeon , Some of my wild guppies, and there is a reduction in the amount of my fire red cherries, Still have plenty to carry on with. My black, yellow cherries and the blonde Endlers look to be OK. I found one black bar Endler male and I think one female??? mixed in with the wild guppies the others could be anywhere.

Thanks again guys for all your efforts

Cheers

Wayne

Hi Wayne, Good job for sorting it all out already. That must have been a hell of a task.

Sorry to hear about your losses. :(

I suppose you are not taking the boat out again any time soon....(I bet Jean said: "I've told you so!" :))

Hey Claudio! Well done for getting all your price shrimp and fish home safely! I bet you are very happy! :encouragement:

Squiggle asked me the same thing the other day. I'm working on it, but no solid ID yet. I will post it up as soon as I know.

      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.
