Hi everyone,

My name's Owen and I'm based in Townsville. Quite like shrimp, although I'm more interested in the new cherry shrimp morphs than I am in CRS - it's just too hot up here and I can't justify running a chiller full-time during Summer.

Anyway, hope to learn a lot from here and possibly, buy some shrimp later on.

Cheers all,

Owen

Hi Owen welcome to SKF, Mate there are a few of us sticking to cherries and their morphs, so much so that there is a resurgence in interest in them. Enjoy!

Welcome, Owen!

Like Dean said, there are so many nice Cherry morphs out there that I can totally understand why you'd like them best ;)

Welcome to the forum mate.

Am also a big fan of all the Cherry variants. I'm not gonna lie all the more 'rare' species are very stunning and attractive, But like yourself I just can't justify running Chillers and all that goes with them.

There are some very nice quality Cherries coming from breeders on SKF. It's really nice to see such high quality shrimp in Australia.

Anyways, Welcome to the forum. I look forward to reading your posts/threads!

Thanks for the warm welcomes guys. At the moment I have a bunch of cherries (hoping that they throw the odd anomaly), a few C. typus and some riffle shrimp. My personal favourite is the riffle shrimp, and I would very much like to breed them one day - just got to figure out how to do it...

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      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!

      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.
