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

:-) games are games but competitions deserve prizes :-) Let's see if this kicks off or fizzles out .... Kicks off and I'll give a sweet ass prize, fizzles out I pack the bee hive away , feed the 1.4

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

      I have just done the planned weekly maintenance and 10% water change and everything 'seems' to be going very well, I saw 12 blue and 9 panda shrimps so am very happy about that as there are always some hiding (and they are small) so there must be more than that at this point. Early days yet (especially with the off parameters) with the blues only been in the tank for a week and the pandas for 2 weeks. Not seen any dead ones yet and the shrimp seem happy enough and beautiful colour and pattern, all small so must be young! Parameters were TDS 159, GH 7-8, KH 1-2, PH 7 yesterday so still a bit off the usual ideal! Hopefully these figures come down slowly in time, I used pure RO water for the water change so Tds should drop 10. I will get a different PH test kit with a narrower range/increments as the one I have measures in .5 increments over a wide range which is probably a bit much. I bought these shrimp because the sellers parameters (PH 6.8) were the closest to mine so hopefully it will work out long term. I changed my zerowater filter as well, as the old one was measuring TDS 6 so passed its best. I will definitely overnight drip acclimate shrimp in the future, not that I plan any more in the forseeable future. I will add/edit photo when available, hopefully later today.

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      All done now, I drip acclimated 11 blue bolts and 6 blue steel overnight and they are now in the tank so now is just wait and see if this works. 28 shrimps have now been put in and I have yet to SEE a dead one so fingers crossed! A couple of pictures of some below; I don't plan on buying any more shrimp so plan this to be a blue shrimp tank, though if it doesn't work out I have seen some female bettas I would like, but hopefully the shrimps will work out. The water parameters are still the same as before, so a bit off! I need to sort out what foods and shrimp stuff I have in the drawers and cupboard tomorrow as it's been a while, hopefully I find a shrimp lolly so I can give them one/part of those tomorrow, and it may bring as many of the shrimps out as possible.  Fingers crossed everyone...........
