Absolutely gorgeous cherries, BB will be jealous of that green. Daydream certainly has a way with cherries and crystals well done!

Thanks Mick.Greens still need heaps of work want them to be as solid in colour as my others at least the saddles and eggs are now turning green to match the shrimp.

Brilliant looking shrimp Daydream! I'm particularly enjoying the RCS and YCS! Are all your males of that quality in the RCS colony or is that the standout?

Cant forger the greens though, looks like you're well on your way to making an awesome looking lime green shrimp!

Hi bristledone, i can answer that with a pic,

Their is 4 males and at least one he would class as a cull.

Daydream keeps telling me and anyone who will listen that everyone can have shrimp like this if you cull hard.

Cheers mick

No they don't breed 100% true yet get about 4/5 that colour in the boys per 20 and about 12/16 girls per 20 so I cull all but the best 6 girls and 2 boys.

When do you think you will be selling your next round of culls Daydream? I would be interested in your choc cherries that throw blue once I have my rack up and running.

Those solid cherries are amazing, cant wait to be able to play with shrimp genetics, especially such strong colours. *sigh* eventually. 
Well done Daydream :goodjob:

      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.
