Pure Red Line


Recommended Posts

Hi all, want to share some of my pure red line shrimps.

I have keeping some line from japan and taiwan..........

My water parameter for keeping PRL:

pH : 6,0

Tds: 80-160

GH: 3-5

konductifity: 160-200 microsiemens

temp : 23-24 C

KH : 1

In my experienced in keeping PRL we have to do selective breed, to achive super solid and glossy shrimps.....

Food play a huge role in keeping them, i ussually feed them with veggie based food twice a week, meat base once a week , powder food with addtion of vitamin and mineral twice a week , then frozen bloodworm / spinach or kale leaves one a week than one day fasting every 2 weeks

I do water change one a week about 20% with the same water parameter

More hard your GH the more solid shrimps you have in addtion to good shrimps genes.....

Thanks for viewing, any coments /question are wellcome.

Some of my PRL photo:

Yes, PRL with goldish parts (ivory white) are more expensive than snow white white

amazing shrimp kandake, must be nice to be able to buy this kind of stock and start them breeding!

Surely we must be getting close, there are breeders in Australia who had been keeping shrimp for a number of years now, how long would it take to establish a PRL from normal CRS? I have some new shrimp arriving soon from a certain breeder who has got a quite mature colony of shrimp which from pics I saw about 6 months ago had shrimp very close to PRL in quality. Sorry to derail your thread kandake. ;)

The only confusing things is, Japanese people don't know what is PRL they only now high grade breed by......(breeder name)....... If you visit japan and go to their aquashop/ shrimps galery no one know waht is PRL. heheheheheheh

The good quality of PRL can be achiveif the breeders never cross their shrimps to white bee in order to get nice patern...... thats why if we breed PRL it have a very low chance in having mosura patern from the offsprings.

To make PRL i think we must keep selective breed for a long time, in indonesia, we breed millions of crs every month but no one can make the colour as good as we called PRL......hehehehehehehe

Looking for your new shrimps, please update the photos......... cheers

      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.

      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.

      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.
