Time to cull again . I have a couple of tanks of Rilis to cull and just thought I would show how they are getting on. I can see a new depth of Red now and more clear mid sections. I am also getting Blue Velvets from some of these girls and I am working on improving their colour too. DSC_0047_zps8db7d1f8.jpg

Rilis are a cherry or Neocaridinia and will interbreed with any other colour cherry so you should not keep more than 1 colour in your tank unless you are trying to improve a particular trait.

Thank you and you would be welcome to have some for your collection just remember they will interbreed with the others. I have a Aqua One 980 with all different colours in there and I get some very pretty shrimp but once in there I don't know who breeds with what so the babies can never be put into a pure line tank. They are just my culls so I don't mind and it looks great to have a rainbow community tank.
Nice' date=' looking good Ineke[/quote']Thank you they are slowly getting there now.

Well about 100 little culls now nicely settled in the community tank. Now to do the second and third culls to decide what to keep for breeding and what to keep for sharing. Most of them are spoken for as I'm doing an exchange with Eshrimp , that's why I needed to make sure I keep plenty of nice breeders to share with him. :)

Will still have some nice ones left over though

Thanks Squiggs .

They are constantly berried and I do enjoy seeing the improvement in them but I wish some of my others would do as well.

I shouldn't complain the Blue Velvets and Chocolates are all breeding well too, even the crystals are slowly increasing in numbers so its all good

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      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.
