Hear guys, I've been keeping fresh water fish for almost 10 years, going from tetras and guppies through to L numbers and discus planted tanks. I've decided to do something different, so I am in the middle of setting up a reef tank and plan to set up a shrimp system soon. Looking forward to learning more about them and the setup that is best, so I can try and do it properly the first time. ;)

Welcome to the forum dude, I'm sure with your knowledge you'll pick shrimp up in no time. Good to see you've finally made it here from the other forum, you'll find out pretty quickly that this place is a whole lot different. Hope you have as much fun here as we do :victorious:

Ok BB, you got me there but it's you & I didn't say anything, hahaha :smiley_simmons:

I have to agree that a freshwater tank that looks like a marine reef teeming with Caridina sp. would look awesome! :victorious:

Welcome to the forum Brissy! As you post the forum will open up, premium membership is required for classifieds (12.50) but more than well worth the investment!

      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.
