Firstly thank you for letting me join the forum , I am slowly dipping my toes back into the aquarium hobby after several years being out of it

I have kept several types of shrimp and love to see what's available now ... I am in the process of setting up my last 2 remaining tanks for plants and shrimp

I hope to be a valuable member

Cheers

Barry

Welcome to the forum Barry.

It's always the way with aquariums, you can have a break but always come back.

You have had shrimp before, so you are aware of how addictive they can be. There are so many varieties and colours available now, I am sure you will find some to give a good home too.

Be sure to post photos as you get setup.

Welcome and Enjoy!!

Welcome to SKF.....shrimp keeping has come a looooog way over the past 24 months. As your post count increases, the forum will open up, or alternatively there's the prem membership route ($12.50) that give you the entire access to the forum, including the for sale section, auction etc.... great way to support the forum and community....

Sorry for the late reply to the warm welcomes , I have paid $12.50 and yes it,s well worth it ... no photos yet because I don't have anything to show but for 2 empty tanks lol

I am taking my time and doing a lot of research into setting up , and have learned a lot of things already that I didn't know

Cheers

Barry

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      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.
