Thank you guys.

I'll be diving into the deep end of shrimps keep (well for me anyway). Trying out Taiwan bee breeding.

My aim is to start with a pair of red wine and a pair of king kong once my tank finish cycling. This give me a few months to save the fund for these shrimps.

Here is the tank it's a 3ft x 14" x 18" divided into 3 sections.

1st section - shrimplets section. This is where I will try to fill it with moss and IAL. Making a safe and comfortable environment for the shrimplets.

Middle section is my red wine pair section. Going to keep it very simple so I can have a clear view on the pair at all time.

Last section will house a pair of king kong. Going to keep this one very simple also for easy viewing.

The tank is about one week in and I've spotted a few crs/CBS shrimplets who have hijack on the moss into the tank. Once this tank is ready for the rw and kk all shrimplets will be remove.

Cheers

Great looking tank Kev. Looks like a promising project ahead. Hope you get some great coloured Red Wines from your breeding.

      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.
