Have been keeping the red cherry shrimps for a while now and I find them fascinating to watch and just started keeping a few crystal red shrimps which I find very attractive. Apart from the shrimp keeping I also have a display tropical planted tank with different types of tetra fish and a couple breeding tank mainly containing different types of bristlenose catfish.

I hope to learn more on how to keep the cyrstal red shrimps and other shrimps. Cheers John

Hi Sprae,

Thanks for the nice comments. As you probably know the adults show more intense red colour as they mature and the females show it more than the males. In regards to painting them red that would be a painstaking job since there are over 500 cherries in there.

Welcome to Skf mate. Nice pics ;)

I'm sure you will find all the info needed to keep CRS.

If you can't find some info just ask the question.

Enjoy.

      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.
