Just had a quick update on my shrimp and my CRS colony has exploded with about 100 new babies happily grazing on the feeding dish. Yes yes photos or it didn't happen . A photo will be taken next feeding day whenever that may be. How exciting my non breeding Crystals are now constantly breeding and I still think the only change is the Blackwater extract although that won't be added while I'm away. No report on the other tanks but the shrimp are harder to see in the smaller tanks and don't stand out like the Crystals.

Can't wait to see what has happened but still at least 3 1/2 weeks before I get home :)

Yes I'm very happy I knew there were berried girls in there when I left . Claire said they were all in the feeding dish but there must be heaps more around the back of the tank that's got a lot of algae growing and not so easy to see. I had probably 100 adults so now my population will be at least double so that's great- still a long way to go to catch up to Eshrimp but I'm on my way!

Not great, but awesome news :-). Strengthens the theory of just leaving them alone, undisturb, without any fiddling etc ... Huh.

they were berried before I left so I was still meddling but no way as much as I used too- it felt like I was neglecting my babies but they were thriving!

I had berried Tibees and Mischlings in another tank when I left so hoping they have lots of babies in there too!

I don't want to wish away my holiday but can't wait to get back and see my tanks. It will be almost 2 months all up so there should be some changes and hopefully some exciting finds

.

Great news Ineke, Hope it all happens for me one day soon.

Patience is the name ,it took nearly 18 months for my Crystals to start breeding properly I thought I was destined to never be able to breed them.

I'm still waiting for a promised picture from my daughter-inlaw I think she has forgotten. I will take a full tank shot when I get home , by the sound of it there should be heaps in there!

Hey Ineke, if you'r anything like me, each time you walk past your tanks you will be trying to count them (almost impossible) but still try HA,HA,HA. :lol: :lol: :lol:

      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.
