Thanks everyone, these girls blow me away every time I see them. To me they are something pretty special, since my original red stock were just purchased as simple red cherry and looked pretty ordinary.

They may be classed as common, but just brilliant when this red, great looking RCS Baccus.

Thanks again, I think if I had of seen cherry shrimp this red previously (let alone actually been able to track them down in my region), I would have had them years ago.

What I find interesting is that these girls are this red, in a tank with white sand, no dark substrate, and still they display amazing depth of colour.

The boys are not solid red but they generally have very distinct red lines on their bodies.

Baccus the ones I have, display the same deep colors too. They take your breath away but thats because the person I got them from has the same....wink wink nudge nudge say no more.

I am glad that your cherry's are still going strong and displaying good depth of colour, they really are stunning and such smallish and unassuming critters too.

Very nice Ronskitz, you can never regret getting red cherries..... that is until the total need for every colour takes a firm hold and your in the grips of a shrimp obsession LOL.

Here are some more of my shrimp the first few are males and what I think are young males, they could yet be immature females :Scratch-Head:

      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.

      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.
