I haven't shared many pics lately so I though I would put some pics up for all to enjoy

First of all is my new tank:

20131028_133208.jpg

This thing is BIG, its 6 foot long 2 foot wide and 2.5foot tall. 800 liters! its housing some of my sisters fish for now but my vision for this tank is.... Bluebolts! haha. one day...

Next up I have a pic of a yellow cherry pair caught in the act! lol

and one of three red cherries from my choc/black colany:

Last but not least I have my "little gem" I call her emerald (my wife thinks in crazy from naming shrimp!)

20131109_185257.jpg20131109_185414.jpg20131109_190520.jpg

Notice in the last pick she is still looking at me taking the photo even tho I am directly behind her, shrimp eyes ftw!

No these pictures have not been Photoshoped! She is my one of a kind green shrimp. Born from my yellows.

Hope you all enjoyed the pics!

Awesome Aquathumb, the green is to die for! The Red isn't half bad either. I love the way shrimp watch you but its damn annoying when you are trying to see if the girls are berried and they keep turning head on to watch me!!,

Mate, Emerald is stunning!! Has she ever saddled? You should cross her back with one of her brothers as they must have some of the green genes too!! Like blues from chocolate, if you got her thrown from yellow, they must surely throw again!! I hope!! Awesome pics, thanks for sharing!!

Also, I think a six foot tank for bluebolts (the shrimp) is an awesome idea, would love to see that!!

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
