I was very disappointed today when once again my Tibee dropped her eggs and I couldn't find any babies anywhere. Pretty much the same in my Mischling/ TB tank berried mamas no longer berried and only a couple of babies visible. So I got a LED torch and once it was dark went looking through the glass at the moss etc and lo and behold there were very new babies in the Tibee tank - there are also some Berried Chocolates in there but I hadn't noticed that they had dropped their eggs yet so hopefully it's Tibees.

then a quick look in the Mischling tank and 2 different sized babies jumped out of the light very quickly. I don't know how many babies in either tank because as soon as the light found them they vanished but where there is life there is hope. :happydance:

Transferring them into my new smaller tanks has made it easier to keep track of the berried girls so pleased with that outcome.

i also looked into my big community tank where the Tibees used to be and quite a few youngsters were visible there too , many more than I see during the day so with a bit of luck there might be some Tibees there too. jibdcb

It usually takes 4+ days before you can really see them, and within 1-2 weeks, they are so much more visible….just keep up with the powder foods. Great work !

Thanks BB plenty of powdered foods in the tanks I still love Biozyme and start using it once the girls are berried. I never have this problem with the Cherries I can see them no problems but the Others seem to be much shyer

      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.
