Hey guys. Newish to shrimp keeping. Have some CRS & Cherries.

Unique setup made from what I had available.

6 foot 530L tank, dividable into 5 sections

4 x T5 26w lights

2400L/hr external filter and

8L K1 internal filters

Standard 3mm black gravel substrate

So far so good, with conditions ok with PH a bit high.

Always on lookout for Yellow Cherries or other colour variations.

Hello, Welcome to SKF!

That sounds like a fine setup you have there! Wuld be great to see some pics of it and its progress :). About the shrimp sales, the buy, sell, swap on this forum requires premium membership which is $12.50 per annum. There is usually yellows for sale and lots of colour variants :)

Have a read through this -

      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.
