Been a while since i posted photos so thought i would spend some time in front of the tank, unfortunately photos are only taken on my phone so quality not the best.

 

A good chunk of my colony, most seem to be female

More CRS can see some of the quality difference

My colony has definitely grown alot you can see the red and white throughout the tank.

 

Excuse my breeder box which keeps sliding into the tank,

Why thank you, i have a really nice dark red girl in there she is my favourite similar to the one on the front left of the petri dish in first pic but a tad darker. When it cools down i will be selling some of my boys as i feel bad keeping them in a breeder box to separate them and hoping to buy some more girls.

 

 

I have got yellow cherries as well which are in a breeder box to separate from the blues however i do have some light green ones still in with the blues. This is why i want to get rid of them or trade them when summers over, too hard to focus on them with just 1 tank.

Got no room or resources for more whilst we live here. I do have a professionally divided 4ftr and cabinet in the garage which has 2 sections linked with holes and the 3rd section separated for other water conditions. It will be sold when we move house as i have no plans for it.

My tanks is over filtered in my opinion. Aside from the 3 dual sponge filters and the nitrate soda stream filter i have a 2000 ltr p/hr eheim pump assisting pumping water into my Aquis1250 canister which then flows into an Aquis 600 canister with removed impeller then into chiller and back into tank.

 

I just like feeling safe with the filters lol, thats the other reason i added the plants :)

Thanks, All i need is some driftwood but hard to buy online :). Hoping to maybe get a nice piece when i am back in Sydney in a couple of weeks

 

I have been using that filter material i won in last months competition which is that brown patch you can see at the back middle left, looks like algae. Takes about 4 days for the water coming out of my output to turn it completely brown

      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.
