Check out this cull tank

so, even though i wasn't happy with their solidarity, A and S grades are still a personal favourite and some ended up with nice red legs! not solid at all but still wonderful to watch :happydance:

and now to hope these can help in future prl ambitions. but serious enjoy guys i can't believe how much i actually enjoy the "B" tank :rockon:

Mate, you have a cull tank that would be the envy of most people.

Awesome looking shrimp Gbang!! Have to agree, my CRS tank is full of mainly B grades but some have amazing coloured legs and faces, getting really red as they mature!!

I think a Cull tank is essential in this hobby, and you always seem to find some gems later on from what I have read on here!

Looks like some good candidates for your PRL journey!

Awesome quality . There are culls and there are CULLS. These are beautiful even if they are not up to your standard.

As always mate, your culls are better than what I see for sale as quality shrimp on other sites.

If you need to cull that tank let me know always keen to buy some culls from you.

Cheers mick

Hey mate ,

As everyone has already said they are great culls most of us don't have that kind of quality in our normal tanks

Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming

Cheers Twellsy

Great work dude, some B grade culls are the best place to start for PBL as you can get the strength & depth of colour right before you start working on the pattern, takes a bit longer but the results definitely speak for themselves! :victorious:

To be honest, I can't tell which were the ones from you anymore.

They have coloured up nicely and blended in with the rest of my shrimps.

I'm working them up to PRL quality.

Newbreed must have got the one with the big Maro, lucky bugger.

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.
