it jumped out at the back and wasnt far from the tank, say 7cm.

i always let them wake up at sunrise cause thats when i wake up so the light slowly comes into there tank from the window and once the sun is at full strength i turn the light on.

Dont worry BB there still will be free shrimp for people just not from a golden bee.

I'm so sorry for your loss Lachie. I cried my eyes out when my first Red Cherry Shrimp died. It's amazing how attached we can get so such little critters.

Hopefully your SS will have some beautiful little shrimplets to help fill the void.

yesterday after reading this very post i went out to the shrimp room and found my young wr male dead :( i was absolutely devastated, but then i noticed the first berried cbs girl in my new tank so i was relieved and happy... but THEN this morning i went out to gaze at her pregnant beauty only to find her belly up :( unfortunately i think it was too late to try and save the eggs.

But alas we all go through it and we take the good with the bad..

congrats on your berried ss lachie all the best bud.

      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.
