Hi everyone.

I am think of getting a few metacube breeding box to keep all (2-3) twb baby to grow them out so at least I have my eyes on them most of the time.

My questions is would it be ok to keep such small shrimps inside a metacube?

Is it healthy for the shrimplets and would it slow down it growth rate?

Your opinions would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Kev

I think she is berried, but I can't really see the eggs. Her colour is so dark ATM. (This is killing me)

Found this in my twb tank today.

Is it a black cherry? Do they have white tip on the tail?

Here is the twb section, plants are growing nicely.

I don't have much twb ATM and only learning how to keep them alive really.

If all goes well and I get about 10 twb I will set up another smaller tank just for breeding twb.

Cheers

This is so so stressful, I feel like giving keeping twb keep a flick.

She may have moulted and be resting in the shade somewhere. OR.... she may be berried again!!

 

It is stressful when you cant find them, hopefully she comes out of hiding soon!!

      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.
