Could be, you'd have to wait for it to colour up a bit more to be sure but sure looks like it could be. :jig:

The tank has been running for about 6 weeks now with 50% weekly wc. Nitrates level is good next to nothing ATM.

I am using all new filter and filter media.

I've been using age water for wc, but I will be starting to do wc with ro water ;) with added salty mineral.

Yes all the shrimplets is very small ATM and are hard to tell.

I will update more once I've find more ;).

I'd say the tank has not cycled, due to everything being new, there is no waste to start the cycle.

So after a few advice to use RO water to reduce my ammonia. I've made 50%WC using RO water. I'll let it go for an week before I test the water again. Mean while I have notices a few small snail in the tank, I've been squishing them again the glass ;) also added a cull rilli to see if it help.

What a big different the lighting and substract make to the colour of your shrimps.

Very cool dude! I would try crossing back to panda or KK & darken the red a bit while trying to keep the stripes. :thumbsu:

      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.
