Was showing off my tanks to @kizshrimp today and he found one of my stranger pets growing on the glass of my C. typus grow out tank. A freshwater colonial bryozoan.

These are some that i percieve as high grades from my line that are the traditional head and tail These however are my personal favorites even though they are technically culls :)

New movie :) How Shrimp Swim :)

Short Creek is an interesting little spot. It is located near a tea farm on the tablelands above Cairns. Why is it named 'short creek' you ask? Well it might have something to do with a 'short' drop! We only sampled a short section but found a wide variety of organisms above these water falls including Caridina confusa, purple spot gudgeons and a species of freshwater crayfish (I forget the name, Bob will remind me when he remembers that I caught one for him, and he didn't catch any!). Water parameters (in May) were: pH: 6.8 TDS: 21 Temperature: 19*C GH: < 20 ppm KH: < 10 ppm the shrimp were mainly located in the back eddies associated with vegetation or branches ect. that were hanging into the water. Unfortunately it was drizzling with rain most of the time we were there so I wasn't able to get any nice shots of the shrimp fresh from the creek. I did get a nice shot of a purple spot. However I have pics of the confusa I brought home, currently housed in a temporary set-up alongside some snails (temp 20*C, TDS 60, GH and KH < 1, pH 7). I'm not sure why these are called the false zebra shrimp. For starters, these are massive compared to the zebras (4-5cm vs. 3cm for zebs). I've really fallen for these guys and can't wait to set up their new tank. I think they should be called fusa (The Fusa are coming - Madagascar, anyone?) or confusa. 'False zebra shrimp' (yawn) just undersells them so much. They aren't fussy at all, eating all of the normal aquaria shrimp fare. Likewise I haven't lost a single one through the travel and their housing. They can be a little rowdy at feeding time, crawling over each other and running off with bits of food away from the others - maybe not ideal for keeping with smaller shrimp like Malanda, chameleons or Zebs. But I find that adds to their appeal, rather than detracting. I will report on things like 'how good an algae eater' or 'ease of breeding' once their new tank is set-up, BUT breeding should be relatively straight forward as I believe they have large eggs and drop direct developing young, similar to zebs. Another cool thing with these guys is that can seem to have a golden glow and iridescence - at least under the LED lights over their temporary housing. hopefully I can get some better pictures of what that looks like with more time.

During the week I received a few packages from SKF members and thought I better show my appreciation. Thanks ‌@OzShrimp for the plants and us fissidens you have sent. They are awesome plus alllllll the extras cheers mate. Thanks ‌@fishmosy for the cool native fern. Hopefully I can get it growing well. Thanks ‌@buck for the mini pelia. I was complaining about my shrimp eating up my mini pelia and he decided to sent me a massive chunk just cause he felt like it. Massive thanks really appreciate it, would have cost me heaps. Finally Thanks ‌@newbreed for the Shrimp Crack and the moss ledges. ALWAYS great service, polite and everything arrives promptly & well packed. I recommend purchasing anything newbreed has for sale you wont regret it. Cheers.

I got a gift today in the mail for the work put into the auction and i must say i am VERY VERYYYYYYYYYY grateful. So a big thanks out to @NoGi and @newbreed :) I will thoroughly enjoy and use what was sent :)

Big thanks to @ineke the CRS I won at the auction they are every bit as amazing as I hoped they would be! They are setting in really well! And @disciple, my OEBT's are great! Definitely one of my fav shrimp, I can't wait to get them breeding and try to get some deeper blues! Oh and thanks for the surprise extra ;) now I need to get some more red rilies to keep him company haha

would love an update on how these shrimps are doing ! :-)

Yeah the tank was a rush job Ineke, Mum decided she wanted a tank in her room so I threw this all together and then she went out and came back with these 5 Guppies, blame Mum, blame Mum! ha. I'll suss out a floating plant and might see if I can find some stuff to thicken the the bottom half out, cheers.

Looks good GC You may want to add a floating plant , something like hornwort , this will help the fry hide I found the females also like to hide in it to give birth

took me reading of about 5 replies before i realised you werent setting up a sandpit for kids lol

Correction, Mum will need more tanks, haha.

HAHAHA. Yeah guppies can get to be a handful by how prolific they breed. Good luck Crabs, you're gonna need more tanks.

You talking to your self now Crabs? LOL Anyway, 24-25 sounds right for guppies. And they aren't the fastest swimmers around, so a med to low flow tank would probably be best for them.

one of my favourites

Looking great mate!

Looking Great JC. Now if I ever convince the wife to let me get a new set up. I'll have to get you to fly over and help me make something similar! lol

Wow, makes me wish I had room to do this too.

From this.... To this.... To this...

Thanks for this NoGi - was killing me too but I knew why it was there. Just FYI - I was hitting it because my std entry point bookmarked is the "New Content" which is a search ... so going to a post..reading.. and then hitting the browser back button to go back to the list almost always triggered the wait. Now is fine. the old Opera browser was excellent because a "back" came 100% from the memory cache but for some silly reason all the new browsers want to reload the dynamic content even if its within a few seconds ... silly IMO!
