@perplex, 2 comp wins in 2 days, are you a part of the SKF Mafia, making threats against admins to win prizes, haha.

Hi Raukem, both tanks are looking great. Looking forward to seeing photos of some shrimplets in them soon! ?

They look like nerites to me, the really fine stripped one looks like one I have seen Dave having (or at least had photos of) and I think they came from northern WA. The other wider stripped I am sure is also a nerite. From memory the ones Dave knew about where fresh water nerites instead of being the usual brackish or pure marine. Having a look and comparing pictures your first picture might be a Tiger Nerite http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=nerite+snails&view=detailv2&&id=1E55DD07A6703A4895D4BFFAE6B4E0E94C94D787&selectedIndex=58&ccid=EWlMSNnK&simid=608034414823932128&thid=JN.Q8EC7OoaY0SfdbhQ0QzENQ&ajaxhist=0 Great looking snails.

I prefer option 3: rather than reading the word 'pure' and taking it as any definition, I'd much rather hear a description of the lineage (e.g. "I've never had mischlings in the same tank" or "You might get a few stripes due to a low percentage of tibee/tiger genes"). Ah, I guess that means I'm mostly agreeing with @fishmosy too :)

Was on YouTube going through the 2015 ADA IAPLC winners and came across number 38 created by Yanfei Qian of China. Does the scene remind you of anything? Reminds me on the Australian country side, Gum Trees, shrubs, blue mountains in the background, looks great.

I think fishmosy has summed up my thoughts on this.

I agree that 3 generations isn't enough to determine purity. However, I also think that the term is of limited use anyway because when buying shrimp you're relying on un-observable information provided by a 3rd party.

Hey there, i have a RODI unit from the same supplier and very happy with it, if you are keeping shrimp i suggest you get this model 4stage Pro-4-D RO with DI, they have them listed for $125.95 & free postage.

Its amazing how some peoples shrimp take a break during winter times. Must be the Barry White music I play all the time.

You and I both inverted! G. insolitus is down here and I've seen them but lacus is nicer. I think they're both protected though. They aren't the species I was referring to; the Gramastacus are smaller but the mini Cherax are more colourful. There has to be a way to legally get some dwarf spinys into captive culture! @jc12, I went off about it to make a point that readers will hopefully remember. There IS a real risk not only to our native fauna but to our entire hobby. These foreign crays are THE thing that will bring the authorities crashing down on the hobby... we don't need blanket bans placed on all exotic crustaceans as a kneejerk reaction to these crays arriving here. So far we aren't called criminals just for keeping shrimp. I want to keep keeping them and the shops want to keep selling them. I highly recommend that if anyone out there does have these mexicrays - keep a tight, heavy lid on it. Tight, heavy lid. Certainly don't distribute any. Probably just destroy them, accept the loss, move on.

haha whoops when did I write that? seems a bit rude now... my bad.

I love my rack!!! Hehe! There always seems to be some fascinating new developments when I sit and really look! I have had a red bolt program going for a short while, with no results as yet. Now I recently sold all my Tbm and mischlings to clear a tank and focus on new patterns coming through. I did keep a couple of gb/SW mischlings though. Now they're a little bigger I noticed one was a little, unique! ! More pink than gold.... Feeling so lucky lately!!

You don't want to get his shrimp angry, you won't like them when they get angry, lol

Thanks sajica.....maybe that's how Dean gets his green shrimps ? Gamma radiation ...mmmmm...

Hi Bluebolts I can't find the abbreviations for TDS in the library and I notice it is used here a lot. forgive my ignorance but what is it and should I be worried about this for RCS Cheers Ineke
