My CRS colony appears to have dwindled upon close inspection however upon looking at @Disciple's tank photos i was inspired to take some of my own after seeing Elvis junior at the front of the tank. He is offspring to the shrimp in my signature and most expensive shrimp i ever brought lol.

You've done well Shaun. I remember you're ups and downs with this tank. It's nice to see the shrimp swarm.

yeah well town water of tds 580 didnt help to begin with did it lol.

I have had more downs then ups but it was the generosity of some on here that got me back in teh game when all my shrimp died 2 1/2 years ago :)

 

its a shame its an 8 1/2 hr drive to your work now @Heavyd lol so no regular shrimp visits. I still got my tank from back then but sitting idly in the garage, once i move i will sell it

Haven’t seen you around for a while Oz! Do you still have any tanks going?

Hi Shaun how are you doing. I remember your shrimp. It was the same time Jamie and I had the large colonies too but I think perhaps the quality of yours may have topped mine. Do you have any tanks now 

I just looked through my thread but my pictures don’t show up anymore because I used photobucket and haven’t kept up my membership so all photos lost on there

Hope you stick around more often @OzShrimp.

I would be good to get the old members back on SKFA. 

Sort of like a virtual reunion. ?

      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.
