Yea what She said.

Where is Mulgrave? we have a Little Mulgrave up here

Bob

Mulgrave in Melbourne, Vic. I am also interested to learn more about native shrimps, i have trial out some mainly from Dave of Aguagreen. But really interested to find more natives, and at the moment really keen to try C. Typus. Anyone, know where i can get some here, in Melbourne? or even shipping from interstate.

We have a Native Shrimp section for you to read. Bob seems to be our Native guru but there are others including but not only Fishmosy , Wayne, Bacuus pretty sure Blindfisherman but could be wrong:) as you are a premium member you can also advertise in the classifieds and state what you are wanting. If someone has any they will contact you. I think our forum sponsor Dean from Boss Aquaria has natives as well but not sure if he is selling them yet

      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.
