From what I know about the northwest river prawn from dave at aquagreen. He said that they will survive in fresh water

The baby's will be the size of a grain of sand

IF THAT

id suggest loading Afew more sponge filters in the tank and remove your canister or hob

I'm still waiting on my ss cover for my canister. This is in a 4ft semi native tank. There is a massive bunch of Java moss. Plus I don't have any cycled sponges

Oh well I'm not trying to breed them I will see how many survive and check my canister later on.

Sounds like a really nice colour, pity the camera doesn't pic it up.

The type I.get around here have a brackish water stage so to much effort for breeding, but if yours survive in fresh I would get some as they are a cool looking shrimp.

Cheers mick

Hey gary when the babies are born do they hang around their mum for a while? Because of they do that's the opposite end to the filter maybe a few will make it.

That's a beauty. The macro's here are often a deep blue tiger colour. I have tried to "modify" them but their claws grow back. Grrr... From what I hear the only difference between a fresh water prawn and a salt water one is the salt.

      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.
