Hi, Thanks for the welcomes. I've been into shrimp keeping for about 5 years now. The last 2 years I've realy gotten into the breeding part of it and now find I myself with 20 tanks full of different shrimp. I've been  through some devastating losses in the past which only helped me learn from my mistakes. I hope I can learn new things from people here on this forum that can help me become an even better shrimp keeper. Hopefully I can also offer some knowlege from my experiences to help others become succcessful at keeping and breeding shrimp. :)

Welcome to SKF. Plenty to see and learn here although you might be able to teach us something too!. Feel free to ask any questions someone will be sure to answer. We love to see photos of shrimp and your setup. What type of shrimp have you got- we love seeing the shrimp we can't get here as our import laws are very strict.  Hope you enjoy our forum.        :welcome:

Wow some beauties there.  You have a nice mix of varieties. When you have time I would love to see your Tibee varieties -possibly we have them but under different names. I love the Tibees and have a few programs I'm working on but in the very early stages so the patterns aren't set but it's a work in progress. Thanks for sharing :thumbsu:

      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.
