Juvies of any type always make me smile. Haha.

Sorry mate I have not forgotten about you. Just been really sick lately and have been off work most of last week. Catching up on work now while still coughing out my lungs and kidneys. :(

if the quality was there i'd agree with you but there are lots that aren't up to my color standards. i culled 3 males (as a start) from this tank and 3 blond tiger males from the orange eye tank. i have some pics on the dslr that i need to get off now that i think about it!. i found a nice dark baby tiger as well when i was watching them :5565bf0371061_D:  

 

I've seen a prl/crs pair that has prompted me to put my breeding box's to use! so ill be isolating them soon to hopefully produce some nice bubs, the only issue is shes dropped heaps of eggs from the last couple of times berried

The CRS colony looks brilliant! Culling ain't easy but so beneficial in the long run! Good you've already identified some candidates!

Your CRS are looking alot like my tank atm! Shrimplets everywhere lol. I been neglecting my tank to and been thinking they wouldnt be breeding as i never see them berried but like clockwork always shrimplets in the tank!.

Not good when i have to pull the tank down in 6 weeks! i dread trying to catch them and am anticipating alot will be unintentially culled with the tank drained lol

ok soo here she is in all her glory!

wast flows in to the filter sock-> then up and over the marine pure spheres ->in to the k1 chamber-> tumble tumble tumble and out the other side to a currently empty chamber that I intend to use for random bags of media when I need to add them, carbon, chemipure that kid of thing. Then though to the return pump! 

I haven't put the chiller in yet because it's still cycling. 

 

great video of the sump. I'm looking into this as a reverse of your system, where the sump is my rack for breeding projects from a main display shrimp tank. I've gotta come up with a way to keep 3 dividers within the sump and still have room for media etc and keep shrimp contained (no jailbreaks)

 

1200x45x45 planned size os sump.

I finaly got some pogo helferi for my little octagon and there was left overs so i added them to the crs tank to grow out. 

The bloody marys i got recently are going well with one already berried

The crs love some blanched spinach.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!
    • sdlTBfanUK
      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
