Oh!  Nearly missed out on Monday.  Here's my Monday blues, inspired by @neo-2FX who was shrimp-spotting with me today :)

so blue it's black WOW!

Yeah, I'm a bit worried that she's not going to successfully hatch her eggs before kicking the little shrimp bucket - I've noticed that as the blue deepens with age, it goes kind of grey and brown when they're about to die.  Fingers crossed!

Last week the glass was so dirty I didn't even know there were shrimp in the tank ;)

Unfortunately that is the way the Blue Bolts are, They get bluer with age and just when they are at their best they pass away. My first purchases have just started to pass away but luckily they reproduced.

25-50 depending who you are buying from and the quality. Also depends on the genetics too.

Hi @ineke,

Is that third blue tiger a natural brown eye blue tiger or is he one of your hybrids? Couldn't see if it is shrimp snow in the background or white stripes ?

She is one of my hybrids - before I had any Tigers. I put her to a blue tiger and have 3 lovely blue babies that I'm 99% sure are hers. She doesn't have any white on her - unfortunately I rarely see her so I can't get a better picture. She seems to disappear for ages and then suddenly she is back again, I think perhaps she isn't always blue I think some of the time she just looks like a Tibee - that's the only explanation I can think of for her disappearing act.

I know it's Sunday, but I am getting up at the crack of dawn tomorrow. This will be a Blue Monday indeed. My gorgeous Royal OEBT has a deformity: the gill cover does not cover all the way down and as per Breeders n Keepers recommendation, I will have to cast him out to live his life in my little cull tank as I can not ethically breed with him ???

My heart goes out to you @KeenShrimp that's a real shame. Hopefully there's some chance that the issue is actually something caused by injury or disease and could rectify itself? The picture seems to be really tiny to me by the way.. I'd like to see a higher res version if you can sometime please.

love n peace

      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.
