Another year has passed and I haven't updated this thread in that time. I'm not sure why a lot of the pictures are missing but I think it has something to do with the forum upgrade so I will put a few

The tanks have just been trimmed and also because of the mirror backs it's a bit hard to get a front view without seeing the camera and me in the back ground. They aren't landscaped for looks just for

@ineke it's like getting a mixed lolly bag, you just never know what you are going to get. Sometimes you get some rippers sometimes some dreadful colours. hahaha

Awesome!

I wish I had 8 tanks! Do you have a recent pic of how the whole room is set up? I am trying to get idea for when I set a room up.

Please don't wait another year for the next update. haha

That's my room as it stands today !

11 tanks Disciple plus my big one in the lounge ?? . The room still looks the same only difference is the lighting and the addition of a reverse cycle air conditimage.thumb.jpg.9954e721f6a286c2f15355dbimage.thumb.jpg.39efa521544c53164269691eioner 

@larrymull I love the mixed bag the Taitibees give. I am disappointed that they are reverting to the pure lines but I'm hopeful that adding some fresh Tiger genes will fix that. On the other hand I love the TB patterns I'm getting

@Disciple I am using a bedroom in my house with a bench round 3 sides of the room as I have injury restrictions that don't allow me to reach high or bend low. If I could change anything I would like tiles on the floor and a sink with water in the room but otherwise it works very well for me. If I pushed hard I would be able to setup a second room - I have enough spare tanks etc but I worry about the electricity bill as I am now retired. We have a large solar panel system that covers the electricity bill completely but another room might just cost too much extra.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Thats a great photo, beautiful blue bolt, I hope it survived the molt without dropping the eggs! I think I can just about see some black dots (eyes) on the central egg but can't be 100% sure. I used to (and plan to again) do weekly water change of 10-15% but if you do too large or quick (not drip in new water) that would likely trigger a molt. What KH are they in, my new setup is sitting at (and refusing to budge) KH 3 and PH 7.5 so I may have to settle for neocaridina shrimp this time as opposed to the caridina I want, though not looking/deciding just yet, give the tank a bit more of a run in! Tap water here starts at kH 14, tds 320, when filtered goes to KH 0 and PH 6 but when put in the tank keeps going to KH3 and PH 7.5 despite 3 x 50% water changes???? You may be at 'maximum capacity' with only 20L tank especially if the tank is a cube type rather than shallow type?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      Right now this tank only has blue bolts and golden bee (red bolts?).  The eggs start off all brown, but at the end, I notice that some are kind of a clear pink-ish color.  So I don't know if that is the egg color of dud or golden bee.  Picture of shrimp only about half hour before molting. The water is always RO + remineralizer, so it should be ok. The tank seems to still be on a "good streak" ever since I started the regimen of weekly water change, monthly gravel vac and plant trim.  The point being to keep the amount of waste low and removing moss / floating plants so that the nitrates go towards growing algae.  At one point, I had three berried females, but only netted about half dozen babies by the end, due to this early molting problem.  There might be about 30-40 shrimp total in 5 gallons, but still very few full-sized adults.
