Most of our llittle Red Cherrys finally have a their own fish free have and I can see how much they love it all ready. They're no longer hiding and some of them have been racing around doing laps or just surfing the flow lol. Think theres still 7 in the main tank, so we've lost about half of what we put in after the shrimptastrophy. In the last 3 days the fish have developed a taste for the berried girls and it hasn't been pretty.

One of my friends, her brother (a carpenter), and I are now working on setting up a small rack with 2 divided 3ft tanks and they've come up with the great idea of giving it to me in a few months time as a birthday present so my partner can't refuse it lol.

Thank you to everybody for the greatly appreciated advice that helped me to get these guys into there home. Sorry the pics aren't very good, but the attachment for my iPhone is in the mail so I'll hopefully be able to put up better pics soon.

This is there haven just before the final water change that brought all the water parameters into line.

They seem so much happier than their friends in the community tank that don't want to be caught. It's great to always see some out and about doing their shrimpy things. Now to work on getting more tanks so we can get more shrimp.

ThanksTwellsy! I'll post a few picks of it all finished & some of our shrimp, once I figure out how to use the telephoto lens on my phone. I couldn't resist adding some ottos & little Rasbora Maculatas. The Rasboras are smaller than, and will stay smaller than, the shrimp

      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.
