Mystery Borneo :(

So I bought this little guy laat Friday and have not been able to find him since I put him in the tank!

Today I pulled everything out (made sure he wasn't sucking onto any ornaments) checked all over the floor expexting to see a shriveled little body. I even checked in the other tanks incase he was that sneaky.

Nothing!

Cant find him at all. So upset :(

I lost a berried shrimp the other day and pulled my whole tank down like you, I had a piece of driftwood with moss on it and double checked it, shook it and left it sitting on the side for about 5 minutes while I pulled the rest of the tank apart. Anyway when I finally went to put the driftwood back I noticed a tiny bit of white and sure enough she was hiding way up inside the wood. I thought she would surely be dead after 5 maybe 10 minutes out of water but no she is fine. so don't throw anything out shrimp and fish especially Borneo suckers can hide deep within and you never see them! Good luck hope you find it!

      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.
