WOW!!!! so many shrimpies and that CBS GIRL!!!!!!! that's hot.

yes unfortunately cherries like ph 7.5 but crs cbs prefer 6.5...decisions decisions.

i have however found that after 2 generations in a 6.5 tank. cherries will acclimatise and breed prolifically again.

very sad to hear about the dark female :( but omg look at how many cbs babies you have!!!

Just read this thread really nice clean looking set up.

I also use the JBJ, it was running on my Aqua One 30cube, but now I have it connected to the 2foot divided.

How are you finding it keeping pace with this summer? I hear mine kicking in alot of the time but keeps the temperature a nice 23 degrees. I was thinking of maybe upgrading to the larger JBJ for next summer.

The chiller has been magnificent for this summer, it really is a must have for shrimp tanks!

Looks like you had a hell of a time in HK.

I visited GoldFish st myself several years ago and had LOTS of fun.

Don't remember seeing shrimp though, but I do remember the variety was amazing!

Thanks guys but it's all thanks to Dean :D They were actually the high quality chocs/blacks from the April sale! I hope they will survive now since no cherry has been able to make it in my Cade, which totals to... nearly 50++ rilis/yellows/blacks. I have rebooted with Benibachi and now they have the 40cm cube all to themselves, the water parameters is now more suited, TDS is 360 in the cube compared to 250 in the Cade, so fingers crossed!!

HexaD, just curious, did those blue Choc cherries stay blue, or did they revert back to Choc ?

Oh man, how much did the Totto filter cost in Hong Kong dollars? I might get one next time I'm over there

Awesome choc-blue cherries btw :)

      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.
