Update time!

This tank is going from strength to strength!

First lot of shrimplets are growing so fast! And now a second lot have been dropped!

I've also decided to chuck in a few of my best cherries from the neglected tank.

What a difference even a month has made on this tank!

Got some of @Gbang's Bloody Marys and some low grade PRL from @Disciple.

I'm blown away by the quality of both lots and can't wait to see how it goes.

Thanks again to @Disciple for all his assistance!

It looks awesome. Those shrimp are gorgeous and I'm excited to see how the vibe deepens as the plant growth continues ?

Little update on this tank.

Had some deaths and a few other issues but I think it's now back on track.

I've had to cull the CRS hard to try and better the quality of colour in the colony. It's a bit painful culling so many but it's for the better.

Bloody Mary's have gone crazy. There's a few ripper males in the colony. I'll try get some photos tomorrow to share ?

Reminds me, I really need to get onto a macro lens!

Thanks@Bill88!

I didn't think it was much of scape to be honest haha but I'll take the compliment!

Are talking about the big ball of Java Moss? Or the alder cones?

If it's the pic I think it was, the ball looks like a marine pure ball.

      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.
