Its called my Cool Ultra Loveable & Lovely Shrimp section. AKA my C.U.L.L.S Sections and Since its almost Christmas and I am feeling generous. You get a once in a life time chance to pick through them and take the one's you like for a very special price!!! Only 10 to 15% of each drop makes it into this section!!~ If that!

Gday SKFers,

I hope you didnt miss me too much while I was away.

It was a long 2 weeks away from my shrimps and I was a little worried to see what I would find when I got back.

It seems my shrimp have not done so well...

@Disciple love them, i think BB are my favourite.

Just wondering also how is your RCS project going?

They are also one of my favourites too. Really happy with how the BB's are going.

My RCS project became a disaster. I put them into the tank a few weeks after it cycled. Within a month half died including the two males. I tried to use another decent male but then I was able to buy some sakura/fire red cherries. So I gave the project to someone and put the new shrimp RCS with my OEBTs. Have 2 berried ATM so hopefully they will go ok.

Thanks Ineke.

Yea when I think about how only about 7 months ago I just started putting shrimps into the different section. I am really happy with how everything has went and I am really glad I learnt so much from SKF & got so much help planning it out.

What is it about Bluebolts that we all find so appealing??? I have a tank full of Taitibee Bluebolts and 4 pure TB Bluebolts in another tank - they supposedly breed true - just a couple of years ago that would have been outside my affordability ! They are my favourite too! I still love a good Rili but no longer have any at all.

I know what you mean, I have struggled with some YCS in the same environment. It almost appears that the YCS i introduced to the new tank have struggled and even died, but their shrimplings are much stronger. The low ph i don't think really suits them...found that with RCS too.

I think it is because when the female is berried she just turns in to the most magnificent blue. Also I think it is because they look so fantastic against most substrates.

I know for myself. One of the first post I saw on SKF full of pictures of Blue Bolts and they instantly shrimp I wanted. The other was OEBT's.

Funny thing is my Chocolates are doing really well in the tank. My rili's aren't doing as well but are breeding.

I think we all fell in love with Bluebolts Bluebolts  , he had awesome shrimp and gave me my first pair . They died unfortunately and I was terrified to tell him but I did in the end. They were worth much more back then but now I don't have any problems keeping them.

Update to my last section.

Lots of mischling, tibees, taitibees and a few pintos.

Before i went on my holidays i noticed a few nice blue shrimplets but assumed that would mature into black juvies. To my suprise it seems they have continued to hold the blue which it very exciting for me.

I might clear out this tank to try concentrate on these bluish shrimp. What do you guys think?

Definitely worth pursuing Disciple they are truly awesome. I think they could become firm favourites with those of us that love the blues'! Well done you.

      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.
