:cower:Hey guys finally joined SKF, I have two recently converted tanks. A nano tank with RCS and a 2 foot tank with RCS and CRS. Addictive little fellows, started with just the nano tank, then converted my 2 foot from a tropical tank to a shrimp tank :)

To post pictures you need to either become a premium member or you can alternatively upload the photos to a sharing website such as photobucket.com or imageshack.us.

From there you can then post the link to the image using the little box that looks like a tree in a picture frame in the message box on the forum.

I just did a journal up! Shrimp are so rad, I had no idea how big and how many types there were until I joined a Facebook group! Coming from Ipswich in QLD, I'd only ever seen RCS shrimp at my LFS. Needless to say the LFS have no idea on shrimp ;)

      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.
