Best to perhaps discuss with the seller, and come to some compromise/arrangement,,...

I agree with BB speak to the breeder. I must say I have recently noticed some very poor quality shrimp being offered for sale - not here on Facebook- it is a pity that low grade shrimp are being offered as good shrimp. If culls are being offered then they should be offered as culls. This is especially noticeable with the Rilis there doesn't seem to be a standard for them .

Can't help but chime in.... Since joining this forum I have never been disappointed with my purchases.

Got burned by vendors on other avenues. Go the SKF code of conduct!

PS sorry that your cherries did not colour up as promised :-(

It looks like 'sun kissed' them very briefly!

 

Maybe try putting something dark in the tank to see if they colour up a bit more.

do NOT ask who i got them from as i do NOT name and shame , just saying newb be wary.

Fair enough, but do give the seller an opportunity to make amends..etc. We all make mistakes ..... even me, oh hang on, I was later proven right. Lol

Hey Pete, I have a feeling these are the Sunkist that I sold you &, as I have already said in the PM to you when you asked me about them, I will gladly replace any that you are unhappy with. :thumbsu:

 

Also, my WP are below, if yours are not close to these then that could be causing the lack of colour. Can you post up your WP?

 

pH - 7.4

GH - 7dGH

KH - 3dKH

Nitrates - <5ppm

Ammonia - 0ppm

Nitrite - 0ppm

Temp - 23°

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
