I was about to post pretty much the exact same thread lol! Just received some peacock moss from Ron, originally from Neo. Thankyou to you both! I've tied mine onto some shrimp tubes just so I dont get it mixed up with JavaMoss by accident later.

Also did the same with a small amount of dubstep/skrillex moss (subwasserbangerrang)

It has browned up a fair bit :( 2 lots of shipping and a few days of sitting in a breeder didnt go so well for it but it will come back strong :)

You're welcome mate...It's very nice of Ron himself to pass it on...

Don't worry that the peacock is a little brown. Mosses need time to acclimatised to your tank conditions

+1 on what Squiggs said about cutting up the peacock moss.(increase new fronds). Als8 luckily peacock mosses are of the Taxiphyllum species therefore a quick growing moss..All the best (:

      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.
