That is the most stunning shrimp tank ever! :congratulatory:

It just looks fantastic to have so many crystals together especially against the green of the moss. Love it!

Do you know how many shrimp are in there? (We could make that a new competition :smiley_simmons:)

Wow!

Looking at your tank now, it's difficult to imagine you had any loss of shrimps at all earlier in the year.

I love your shrimp, but i think your moss growth is stunning!

Thanks guys and girls... The tank is a Fluval 900 elegance. The moss seams to really love the light spectrum from our vertex illumilux dolce bianco, ever since we started using that light it has grown really really good.

Might be something like SERA Bio NITRIVEC. Works really fine for me, and this mix of bacteria even saved my Discus tank

      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!

      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.
