Hi guys,

 

Just wanted to vent out my frustration...after patiently waiting to see if my oebt would ever berry up...she finally did only to find she had dropped them all next day, I thought oh well may just be her first berry so let it go as unexperienced mum. She then berried up a second time and yep you guessed it no more eggs next day, Argggggh! I have my oebt in with snows and blondes that are seperated and they never drop their eggs. Why is it always the one you want the most to have no problems always be the one that does! I know although she is quite a big girl she may just be a young mumma and will eventually get there (hopefully).

 

PS. I think you sent me a dud girl! You know who you are...lol!

Know that feeling I have a giant Tibee that drops her eggs every time. Sometimes holds for 2 weeks but then still drops them just as I'm getting excited- she isn't young anymore so that's not her excuse and she has NEVER carried full term!! :growl:

:ass: LOL, a good hobbyist never blames his shrimps. If all the WP are good, its unusual for her to drop her eggs. I think you need to buy more OEBT's .... :lol:

Do you guys add mineral powder religiously ? I think the Mosura gravidos may also help....every tank is so differently, and it's difficult to pin point the exact cause. I also use the benibachi shrimp water...can't proof it does magic, but they all work well for me.

As said she is the only one in the tank that drops her eggs...I hope she drops this bad habit of hers soon. I do use mineral powder weekly. Tonic pro, bee max, etc...

My female is in with breeders and lots of babies so must just be her. I add weekly minerals after water change.

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      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.

      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.
