Thank you!

 

I decided to sign up and further my knowledge on shrimp!

 

At the moment I have 4 tanks setup (and about 5 empty tanks waiting to be used):

 

  1. Rainbows, Tandanus catfish, Purple Spotted Gudgeon & Red Claw
  2. Tropical community (Cherry Barb, guppy, Siamese Algae Eaters etc.)
  3. Shrimp (planted setup)
  4. Female Fighting fish (she was injured due to people's stupidity & I couldn't not take her)

Welcome Tandanus!!

Would be great to see some pics of your setups when you have a chance!

What shrimp are you keeping in your planted setup?

Cheers

Here we go newbreed! I am entirely too lazy to take new pictures but these are my setups (hopefully the image size doesn't break the thread):

The only shrimp I have at the moment are 3 red cherries.

Thanks Squiggle, if you're the person I'm thinking of (and without giving away too much of my personal info) I think we spoke in person about your shrimp food on Sunday :)

Great looking setups!! Thanks for sharing!! I hassle everyone for pics, because if I don't everyone else will sooner or later!!

 

The shrimp have an awesome playground with all those plants.

Very nice tank dude, I spoke to a fair few people about my food on Sunday but I think I know who you are, great to see you on here. SKF is unlike any forum you've ever been a part of. :thumbsu:

Thats a nice tank, hairgrass is something that I've never been able to grow well and I love seeing pics from people who have got it right.

Cheers mick

      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.
