Hello everybody,

 

at first I have to apologize for my bad english.

I'm from Germany and my time at school where i learned english is more than 20 years ago. I found your interesting forum on google.

Here in Germany many people have problems in the summer with shrimp dying. I myself have fortunately no problem with that.
I thought to myself that I look in forums from warmer countries how people make it there.
 
In my tanks live Blue Jellys (Neocaridina davidi  var. Blue Jelly) and PRL from the Akeabinosato bloodline (Caridina cantonensis sp.).

 

For the first impressions a few Picture:

Unfortunately they are not established in the genes yet.

Hi Lars, welcome to SKF.

Your english is not bad and better than many people here who have english as their native language! I understood everything you wrote.

Your pictures are fantastic. You have some beautiful shrimp and tanks.

Once again welcome to SKF.

Thank you for your kind words, fishmosy.

My biggest problem is still the abbreviations in English-speaking forums. But I'm learning too.

 

Greetings

Lars

Welcome tithe forum Lars and thanks for sharing pics of your wonderful shrimp!

In summer here a lot of keepers use chillers to keep their tanks stable and avoid loss.

Look forward to more of your updates!!

Welcome and enjoy!,

Your English is definitely better than a lot of people I know, lol. As Newbreed said, most people use chillers but when you have many tank it's often cheaper to cool the room, I have a climate controlled room to keep my tanks at a stable 22degrees. Way cheaper than 30 chillers & 30 heaters :thumbsu:

Fortunately, I have no problem with high temperatures.
I suspect that there will only be problems if the bacterial density is already too high, and then there's a lack of oxygen.
I keep the temperature with an old PC fan over the tank at a maximum of 25 degrees.

      Planaria video - Chris Lukhaup

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.
