What Are those black round pellets in the pics squiggs? Snails or humic pellets?

Nah, they are just a shiny black substrate, in hindsight it was a silly move, shiny dark shrimp on shiny dark substrate, make it hard to see the culls. :D

Wow you have amazing shrimp!! Wish my other half would let me have more tanks so I can keep more types of shrimp. At least he caved and got me another tank for Mother's Day. It's a fully set up small (45cmx27x30) shrimp tank waiting for me to scape first. We were given a 80cmlx58d bow front about 9 months ago which has guppys to which I added RCS a few months ago and they've started my shrimpdiction & mts lol. I managed to talk him into a smaller tank for the RCS a few months ago, it's 61x48wx36d and has some of our RCS and added some juvie CBS (told they're all male) mischlings a few weeks ago. We lost 2 CBS in the first 4 days but, fingers crossed, none since. Thinking I'll only keep the reddest RCS in there and put the others in the com tank, (there's shrimplets in both, woohoo our first shrimplets), move the CBS to the smaller tank and give in to the kids desperate pleas for CRS and put them in the 2ft with the RCS.

Then I'll work on twisting Cams arm for more tanks. Hopefully a rack setup for different Cherrys, rillis and others, another 2ft in the hopes of being able to try native zebras (think they are the best) and a 3-4 foot planted for rainbowfish and other native shrimp

      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.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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.
