I call her Big Momma (as in Big Momma's House). She's a massive Choc/Black Cherry that is mom to at least 4 separate batches of eggs.

Naaawwwwww. Isn't it cute!

I have a soft spot for CRS shrimplets. This is just one of the many little CRS shrimplets in the tank.

More preggers Choc cherries. This one isn't a very good grade though. But still fun to see eggs.

This one is going to be interesting. Can't wait to see what will turn up. Unfortunately the one and only male died a few days ago. Really bummed about it.

I've got a couple of blues like this shrimplet in the tank as well. At least, from what I could see.

Thanks all.

Gotta love this hobby of ours, especially when little shrimplets appear.

In that tank?
There are 2 red cherries, cause I'm experimenting. Chocs x Reds = darker red Red Cherry (hopefully).

My PRL CRS project is in a different tank.
There is another tank with just Reds.
Yellows in yet another tank.

      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.
