I got a berried snow white

I had to share lol, I've lost a couple of sw and a couple of pumpkins in last 2 weeks from a nitrate spike (daughter overfeeding) so I'm stoked to see her berried. But now the wait begins to see what comes out, the snow whites have some mishling genes a couple of generations ago and I have a male f6 mishling and male crystal rilli in the tank

So pot luck lol

Waiting waiting waiting lol.

No pic yet as she's hiding under the sponge filter but I will put one up as soon as I can.

Cheers mick

Thanks peeps, it'll be happy if all the shrimplets are as white as her.

I will be stoked if she throws a Tb or crystal rilli.

Made an Amateur mistake and plugged the heater into the lighting circuit which is on a timer.

I found two sw dead this morning and the tank was 14 degrees.

Luckily the berried female survived.

Bummer dude, but at least you've got the girl still, should get some nice ones to replace them.

      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.
