Received mine today! Thanks very much @newbreed !!

very nice! Currently soaking in a bucket of water, do I need to boil the Cholla wood before using it?

take some photos when you get it in the tank :)

Any tips for what I do with Catappa leaves?  I've never used them before and there's no info on the packet :)

The algae tabs are a winner though, just the right size for me to put a couple in the tank rather than having the hoardes fight over one large one.

Jo, you just put one or two into the tank directly. And leave it there. The shrimp will eat it in due time.

Ah, they're food? I assumed it was some kind of water conditioner, hahaha! Thanks @jayc and @OzShrimp

I'll put one in later and see what they think :)

they can also release tannins into th water which are good for the shrimp :)

      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.
