hey guys. so i am absolutely in love with the red cherries that came out of the chocolate parents. they are so intensely red without a stripe on top

and have a different type of red in them! can i get everyone's opinion on their colour? i don't know if i am being silly but they almost look red wine or red ruby to me!!! and yes the males are this red as well have a look!

They look nice bro, it will be realy intresting if the red gene stays dominate in the next generation of offspring or they produce different colours? :)

i agree is a different red , not the Fire red which is solid gloss color or normal cherry red

If you have spare tanks it's good to pick them out and see

what a amazing chocolate cherry!

Stunning Colour! Very nice solid red indeed.

If you decide to selective breed and are after some Cherries of the same quality to add to the genes let me know, We may be able to work out a swap :)

So these were the ones you were talking about! I love them! I think they are Liverpool red lol

Can't wait to see if they throw out different colors like your chocolates if you selectively bred them

nice cherries mate, i never thought to seperate my one and just keep throwing them in with my normal red cherries...

maybe i should also start separating them and we can compare notes of what happens and outcomes :)

thanks guys!

thing is thought these guys are very intense red but they are NOT SOLID OR PAINTED. they are a very odd but super transparent dark red indeed!

hexa - nah i don't think they are liverpool red. liverpool is brighter :P these are very very dark red from what i can see. unless i'm wrong? i haven't watched football in ages.

already seperated them into another tank so we will see what their babies look like! will keep you updated

      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

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      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.
