This offer is open to every one.

 

If you are making your way to Far North Queensland and if you are not why the hell not LOL.

Give me a yell  and I can show you some top places and you get to collect some shrimp and other stuff, the only thing I need is fill the petrol tank on the car, one person we take my 4 x4 ute and more we may have to hire a car and that's  on you.

From someone who has been to Cairns TWICE now, go, its well worth the trip. I still dont feel like I've even scratched the surface of what is available around this area. And you dont even have to focus on aquatic stuff, the countryside and flora is quite distinct from anything I have seen elsewhere. Plus Bob knows his crap and can point out stuff that most people miss.

TA Ben I guess IOU now, so wait until we get to Black mountain/ Cooktown, that's going to blow your mind.

Look up Wallaby creek Rainbows, you will get to swim with them and Gap creek Trifas, then there is the other tree Kangaroo

I wish I had contacted you when we were there 2 years ago. Trying to talk Alan into another trip -we have a great old 4wd with  4" lift and good all round tyres so could use that for off road stuff- but convincing Alan he won't be bored with shrimp stuff is another story!!!!!! I tempted him with other wildlife but now he keeps reminding me I'm not supposed to go rock climbing etc . Think he is whimping out!

So Bob if we use our car do you fill up the tanks- we only have 2 long range diesel tanks and a 25 litre gas tank LOL  (yes we do have diesel and gas- gives more bang for your burn it makes a heap of difference especially when towing )

I still say you don't know what cold is but damn 10 degrees is cold for up there!!!!

If you get up this way I am sure there will be some one to fill the seat in my car and we go from there, there is loads of wildlife to see LOADS,  Cooktown and Black mountain would be the go, but any where you want to see there is good stuff any where. Bragging I know but very true.

 

Ineke work on Alan to do the trip in your winter, you will enjoy the change (in normal years), I will be looking for Riffles the next Cooktown trip to go into the Science bank. 

 

CU soon

      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.
