LOL, all I saw was the snail initially. I was like "What's the big deal".

Then I was like, "oh wait, that's not debris ... "

Congrats!

Good one Wayne, the next generation is even easier. When you get the Barney springs you will have to work on them to, I have not breed the Barneys yet

Congrats Wayne, so how many? about 20?

Bob

PS Ben your turn.

So what you are saying is, you will be cross eyed and tired tomorrow but very very happy no1. No 1 out side FNQ

I am so glad there is a couple of others breeding them at last that will take photos for proof (YES) and when you get to generation 2 they will be more valuable.

Definitely sending you, Dean and Ben some Black Zebs ONE DAY.

Bob

Yes Bob is the man to ask! I really don't have any secrets in keeping them. mine are housed in a small nano tank with a sand substrate, a couple of small rocks and plants. I use exclusively RO water and add a small amount of bee shrimp minerals, an air stone and a small sponge filter a heater set on 24 deg. I do about a 5% water change a week. My tanks are all outside and lighting is normal daylight.Wayne

Jay you will have to bring a test kit with you to the BBQ I haven't a clue as to my water TDS etc .By the way I counted 18 little blokes this morning not an easy task as they are really small about 3/4 the size of a day old cherry.

Cheers

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      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.
