Hi I'm from Sydney I currently have 5 types of shrimp going. In my rainbow tank I have some north australian river prawns and some local glass shrimp. I have red cherries and darwin red nose in with my endlers. And a species tank of blue cherries. Still looking to expand.

I have had natives for about a year. But only the last 2 months or so have I started getting hooked on all of them. I mostly kept cichlids in the past.

Welcome to the forum, definitely the best place to be to learn about shrimp! You're certainly off to a flying start with the addiction but I must warn you that MTS(multi tank syndrome) will soon follow & most probably with vengeance, lol. Hope you have as much fun here as we do! :encouragement:

That warning is a little late squiggle. 9 tanks and counting they are just my display ones.

That's why I want to build an extension on the house and garage. The wife thinks it's for the daughters play room which it is. Just with aquarium walls.

      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.
