Ok so their always been a big fuss on keeping shrimp here in wa. So I thought I would call fisheries and find out what the go is for shrimp keeping here. So from what they said their are no black and white written laws when it comes to the laws of the importation of none native species. And any shrimp that are already here are aloud as they are native now.

Breeding of Shrimp is aloud once again natives only. So dont be scared off keep breeding them theirs no law against having ornamental shrimp or breeding of shrimp. As for the raids that where done here for shrimp where because the person/people had imported a none native specie from out side of Australia and then was breeding and selling them.

So enjoy keeping shrimp in wa keep to natives aslong as their called (native) your safe. I really hope this has cleared thing up a bit if you would like to find out any other info call fisheries they where great to talk to about it here's the number

The only native shrimp I am aware of in wa are chameleons and glass. All cherries, crs, cbs etc are not classed as native. When they say what's here is in terms of what's in our water ways.

We'll I tried to push them for an answer for that and they told me to call back and they will find out. All in all sounds to me that they don't even know what species are native here.

      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

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
