Um, I'm going to state the obvious ... It's a Red Bee Shrimp or Crystal Red.

This is the recommended benibachi tank set up.... Setting up a new aquarium ready for shrimp has never been so easy, thanks to Benibachi. For a basic set up you are going to need 5 items, Benibachi

I like your style, but before I confirm the answer we need at least another two replies, hahaha :-)

Spot on right mate!!!

Since my breeding program is still in beginning stages it was very cool to get a tribe of truly advanced bees.

These two examples are F7 or there abouts. Breeding credited to @BlueBolts

Be great to see what they produce for you. So hard to tell them apart from crystals really. Sure they will produce something beautiful.

This past weekend I got under the Cade tank sorted to what I always planned.

Got the Eheim 2215 going into a UV light for sterilisation , then going into a Eheim 2217 and then through the Hailea chiller.

Since once again my water parameters are struggling to maintain a PH of above 6.5 which for me in my opinion is about the least I would run a shrimp tank ( tested 5.9) I am simply over specialised shrimp and plant soils.....

I have run tanks at PH 7.2 to 7.4 along side the Cade , these high PH tanks have shown me great growth and no mortality.

So all I can hypothesise is if it works for you with low ph then great. I will be going neutral or there abouts for now on :-)

Awesome :-) Good to also note your shrimplets survival rate, so that you can tweak the WP if necessary for the next drop. 15-25 shrimplet would be a awesome achievement.... Well done, and thanks for keeping us posted.

Counted 29 mate and then saw two more. But 29 confirmed. These are the ones pictured.

Now on the other hand, the Cade is not doing well. Seem to be loosing bees again.

Might need to visit the LFS for some suppliments.

Took down CO2 a month ago.

      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.
