Welcome, this is a great place for information. And great community just to discuss your love of shrimp. And you can have native shrimp mate, chameleons and glass shrimp are your best bet from what I know.

oh and post a picture of your nano please

[poeticwinter]

hi androo thanks so much... nothing much on the nano tank as is only 1 day old now.... updated on the top for the picture. only have 3 baby guppy there at the moment waiting water to cycle

Hi and welcome to SKF! :)

Nice tanks :encouragement:. Sorry to hear shrimp are hard to get over there. All the best wishes you can get that nano set up with shrimp

[2OFUS]

Also u will need to get either fine stainless steel mesh or a really fine corse filter sponge

to block up the inlets of the built in sump otherwise some shrimp will get In there

will make moss backgound on it if possible or java fern...although i want decorate the tank with some stone and substrate. but i did test first time the sand going to the divider so the divider abit open and all my fish going to back filter. although back filter are safe as blocked by sponge.... they cant be suck to the filter pump. after repaired a bit. the gate is closed and only filteration hole still there...but yeah more protection is the better :)thanks for advice... PS: have seen some of your shrimp, pretty good :)

Welcome to the forum. Great looking fish tank setup you have there.

Shame you can't get shrimp in WA, didn't realise that was the case. Just like we can't have Koi in Victoria, so frustrating!!

At least your tank will be good for other aquatic species! Lots to choose from!

[Squiggle]

Welcome to the forum, your tanks look awesome, hope you have as much fun here as we do! :victorious:

I thought things had settled down in WA with shrimp keeping? Something a long the lines that the Department doing all the raids had their budget cut.

[poeticwinter]

no dont think so... seems still not allowing keeping shrimp. cause even pet shot not allow to sell them.. its something to do with departement fisheries

[Androo]

That's correct it's the department of fisheries. And they have had budget cuts but if they can have ya I'm sure they would. Things have gone quiet because people are no longer advertising, no one is admitting they have them. But there are a lot around, just no one talks about it

im always cautious even going to buy food
