Hello everyone, i'm from Canberra and have been keeping shrimps in the past, I set up a little rack with 4 long slim tanks about 40 litre each, and about 3ft long, i'm growing different type of moss in them and keep cherry shrimp and crystal black shrimp ( it took me a while to get the phrase for the forum what is black and white shrimp the bee shrimp... of course, ah these days everything is shorten...).I'm also keeping and breeding apistogramma and dwarf cichlid.i'm looking for yellow neocaridina and blue pearl neocaridina to complete the other 2 tanks. I hope I will find breeders to achieve this task. Thank you for reading

Hi welcome to SKF . The forum will open for you as you post so the more you post the more you see. Unfortunately the classified section is only available to premium members so no one will be able to sell you any shrimp unless you subscribe. It's well worth the $12.50 membership and will open up all of the forum straightaway. In the mean time ask questions, post pictures and tell us about yourself and the forum will start to open up for you. Hope you enjoy our forum

Hehe Hi Fred, I knew it was you. Don't know any other apisto keepers from your suburb.

Everything is going great thank you. Lachlan needs to come and measure the wall tank and get on with it :beaten:

This is a great shrimp forum, I am sure you'll enjoy it a lot.

For those who were wondering the reason I suggested moerlen started to keep some killies is because I know he does already :smiley_simmons:

      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.
