Hey Guys and Girls ,

Me and the family will be on the Goldcoast ( staying in Surfers Paradise )from the 21/12/13 to 28/12/13 Just wondering if there are any good shops to visit ( or shops to avoid )while I'm up in Queensland

We will be in Brisbane on one of those days aswell visiting some friends and possibly in Noosa for a few days after the 28/12/13

Any suggestions would be great

Cheers Twellsy

Fish Chicks at 17/478 Ipswich Rd, Annerley QLD 4103 is worth a visit. Prices are not to great but has stock normal LFS dont. She even has some shrimp and shrimpin equipment. It might be a bit out of your way tho. Would be a good 30-40min drive from surfers.

I hope you enjoy your holiday!

If you have an interest in discus then living reef aquarium at palm beach is worth a visit. Only a small shop with about a dozen or so tanks but their discus are spectacular.

I only managed to visit one shop , aquarium warehouse not much in the way of live stock but had every type of tank and every size you could want. Prices seemed cheaper than Sydney

      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.
