Hi all


spiderzzz

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am the new guy. Nice to meet you all.

I am still relatively new to the hobby, currently keeping yellow, red, brown cherry and getting into CRS. Hope to get to learn more from the Pros here.

Have a good weekend!

Hey spiderzzz !!!

Nice to see you here.

I'm hoping it's the same person I met a couple of days ago.

Welcome to SKF.

Trust me. You made the right move.

For one thing, there will be a lot more "activity" here. There is also a lot of knowledge here.

Start reading some threads/topics when the forum opens up more (thru active contribution) and you'll notice we cover a whole lots of topics in relation to shrimp and then some. If you are impatient and want all subforums, including the Classifieds section to open up, it costs a mere $12.50 for Premium membership.

Believe me, you'll make back your $12.50 in no time with the number of free stuff being given away by generous members.

SKF,

I was telling spiderzzz here all about SKF.

Don't prove me wrong, show him how friendly you can all be.

Cheers,

Jayc

Before someone else says it ... post a pic of your tank/s. We luv photos.

Welcome to the forum, definitely the best place to be to increase your knowledge about shrimp. We do love pics here so whack some up when you get a chance. Hope you have as much fun here as we do! :victorious:

      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.

      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.

      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.
