New to shrimp keeping. Any advise will be greatly appreciated~

Ultimate goal is to breed CRS (A - S grade) and hopefully higher grade and more challenging species thereafter. :)

Got a question with regards to the forum,

I know i am currently on restricted access, do i need to subscribe for membership to read information about shrimp keeping or only if i want to use the classified section?

How else can i move onto other parts of the forum? Do i need a certain number of post, or what criteria do i need to meet?

PS: thanks ronskiz and fishmosy

Hey Mate,

The forum gradually opens up based on the number of posts you have, a great way to up this is post photos of any existing tanks or pets you have, or to ask questions.

The alternative is that you purchase premium membership (the best $12.50 you will spend). This opens the entire forum for you (in addition to the classifieds and library which are premium only).

Prem membership is well worth the $.... Not only do younger access to the entire forum, it gives you access to the classified, auction, free/trade sections etc.... Come on board....

Hi Dostalgia.

Not only do you get access to those additional subsections of the forum, but your name changes to a cool Sunkist orange colour, you get to include your own avatar, and the number of pictures you can upload to your account space is also increased.

      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.
