I has had fish tanks for a while now, trying to get more into planted tanks, two at present. The lounge room tank (one one in the picture) is small fish and plants, I moved a couple of cherries from my other tanks and they seem happy, no-one has tried to eat them which is always a good sign. My other tanks is peppermints and a healthy breeding colony of corydoras trilinus. I wish to expand my knowledge of shrimp and open up a couple of more specialized tanks so here I am. Lots to learn!![ATTACH]5357[/ATTACH]

Welcome to the forum, definitely the best place to learn about shrimp & the community is amazing too. Ask as many question as you want cause we don't believe in stupid questions here! I feel I must warn you though, shrimp are incredibly addictive & they are a gateway addiction to MTS(Multi Tank Syndrome) Hahaha. Your tank look awesome too, well done. Hope you have as much fun here as we do! :victorious:

Hi Bluebolts,

Yes Blyxa Japonica in the middle of the tank, in front of this is Riccia Fluitans on slate panels, in front of the Riccia in the middle is hair grass with Staurogyne Reopens on the left and right. I was going for the height on the sides and back with stem plants and reducing height in the middle and front

      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.
