I used to breed guppies and discus prior to the shrimp addiction kicking in!

Have just brought home some endlers from the shrimp club on Sunday!!

And also had to buy some juveniles Oscars(5) during the week, as one of the local aquariums have bred some in store. Have always had a soft spot for them and thought, why not! They are in a 24x18x18 for now with a four footer earmarked for them as they grow.

I guess you could say I breed endlers as my trio just had babies in the community tank...... there is still 6 or so left.

Really should have moved them to another tank but I'm interested to see if they can make it on their own.

Good to see there are a number of keepers and breeders of African Cichlids on this site ;)

 

I recently imported a colony of German Bred Sulphur Crested Peacock cichlids (Aulonocara Maylandi).

 

Absolutely amazing fish. 

 

Bonus is that they have now bred and the mum spat 35 healthy fry on the weekend.

 

The family is growing :)

Well I'm not breeding them as yet as I need to do some prep work first like hatch brine shrimp for the first time as the fry need no more then 1hr old shrimp for food 2 x a day for 5 as any older will be to big for them to eat.

From what I have read so far it's going to be a challenge but you can only learn from failing first.

But if I succeed it will be a great personal achievement in breeding for me.

And the winner is Cardinal Tetra's

May aim is a school of 100 to 200 if I was to get them from a shop it would cost me $300 to $800 for a school that big but there's no challenge in that.

Will do inverted.

I'm not giving it a go till I get back from holidays in September that will give me time to set it all up and start conditioning some new Cardinals for breeding going from what I've read the stock I have now will possibly be unsuccessful at breeding because of their age.

So I need to find some that are around 6 to 8 months old to at lest give me half a chance of succeeding.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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!
    • sdlTBfanUK
      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.
