healthy happy cherries


Dable

Recommended Posts

so this is the first feed for my new tank and first ever shrimp, they are all very happy and hungry which i take is a great sign of good health i also have one massive buried one :) i know there only plain cherries but i thought i would start off with them as they are the hardiest and i wanted to make a wise and smart decision as no doubt i will make some newby errors along the way..

Always great to see berried girls. Nothing wrong with cherries, mate its all I've got. Plenty of the experience keepers started with cherries & still keep them.

Thanks keego :-) , yes they are fantastic I just thought id do the sensible responsible thing and go with the hardier type :-) I don't want to sacrifice shrimp and put them at risk because it looks nicer or is more valuable . Id rather start with these ( ill probably always keep them haha) and later get other tanks for trickier types when I learn more

Hi Dable, as others have said nothing wrong with Cherries, plenty of colour variations to choose from and all look great.

This is the best place to learn and get intelligent advice, all very helpful people.

      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.
