If everything goes well ill add some other types of shrimp and possibly upgrade to a bigger setup. I cant wait to start i love these guys. I love my tropical fish but shrimp r something new to me and im so excited to start.

Welcome to the forum, sounds like you have the beginnings of a very nice shrimp addiction, I feel I must warn you thar it is definitely a gateway hobby to the more serious MTS(multi tank syndrome) Ask as many questions as you want cause there's no dumb questions here. Hope you have as much fun here as we do! :victorious:

Technically I never got you into shrimp but I think all those answers to your relentless and sometimes meaningless and random questions at work has kind of fueled your want for shrimp lol. Even for myself lol. I'v had my shrimp tank in the setting up stage for 6 months now and you just keep on pushing for me to set it up lol.

Hahaha, six tanks is very manageable, there are more than a few of us tragics who have more than twenty five tanks. Before you know it you will have more than ten & you'll be asking yourself "how did this happen?" Lol :victorious:

      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.
