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

      Thanks, day 2 in the tank and the shrimp seem fine (not done roll call yet today), I saw 9 (got 11) yesterday and no dead bodies  so I 'assume' the other 2 were hiding somewhere. I drip acclimated them over night so they had a longer acclimate and hopefully that helped, but it is early days yet, however so far so good. I am looking forward to getting blue bolts at the end of the week but I doubt they will be as pretty as yours, but at this point I will be happy enough as long as they survive. That will be the lot this time so I am calling this tank 'bruiser tank' as it will only be mixed 'black and blue' shrimps!  I don't have any rocks this time just some small pieces of lava rock. The tests I did yesterday show KH is 0-1 (you can't test for 0 obviously) and PH was 7 on the drop test but the disc meter thing in the tank shows yellow so should be below 7 (the nearest match I think is 6.6) but all the test kits show in stages, and it can be difficult to tell when they are just different shades of the same colour. The seller of the shrimps said his tanks were PH 6.8 so we are at least closely matched. GH should go down slowly with the regular water changes/maintenance etc so hopefully the shrimp can handle it being a little high temporarily, seller had GH 5-6 (I assume 6 drops) and mine is just on 7. I am pleased with the sparser/simpler tank and the fact I can just glance over and see it when I am in my usual seat is great. I have a stick on thermometer so shouldn't have a similar disaster to before and have the heater set cooler at 21 this time, though in summer the tank will go above that most of the time. Hope everything is fine with yours!

      Good luck.  I hope the Ph / KH issue is under control.  If not... Maybe use peat? Edit:  looking at a previous picture - maybe you should just remove those rocks for now

      My lil emerald green. It's a lot harder taking macro shots with 15mm glass tanks.
