After seeing one of breeder book shelves/rack (Customs build) I am very impressed with those tank and setup. He has 4 tanks x 3 rows, which really nice. His breeding is about 30x30x20H. I came up with ADA Style Cabinet and adding 2 breeding nano tanks. hoping to get the nano size of 30x30x20 or 30x50x20 The top tank is my current tank 60x40x40 with ADA Aquasky 601 This would be future project, and waiting for approval from the big boss.. ahhaha. Let's talk tank. Advise and idea would be great guys Thanks

@fishmosy - on at 9am off at 5:30pm. (8.5h). Using an UpAqua ProZ. When I set up my tank room with a room-wide timer circuit I always intended to adjust the day length with the seasons for triggering some of my rarer Aponogetons (plants) to flower and/or break dormancy, Over winter is was 7h (9am to 4pm) ... and now that you've reminded me and given a good reason to I'm going to add another 1.5 I was using a PetWorx light over the zebs (white and blue) and I was hoping the move to a more "equatorial" spectrum with warmer tints in the ProZ light would be of benefit but no change. I've been adding very small amounts of protein (a couple of frozen brine shrimp, hikari crab food) but also no berries. Fingers crossed! (spoken like a good scientist!)2 points

So a sneaky preview from my new biotope tank for keeping zebras. Here is a video of them munching on some Boss Aquaria snow.1 point

1 pointi have recently had the pleasure of meeting some lovely people both in person and on line who are quite new to shrimp keeping - although some have been keeping shrimp for sometime. I am both disturbed and amazed at the general lack of knowledge of basic shrimp keeping. Things like how to drip acclimatise shrimp. Doing water changes, what temperature to keep shrimp at, what substrates to use . Just the basic minimum knowledge is so lacking and once they realise they can ask me these types of questions I end up spending a lot of time with them answering their questions. I know the information is out there but perhaps it's lost in amongst all the more specific information that is harder to understand. I wonder if there is a time we could set aside here on SKF where we can answer realtime questions. Where people are able to come online and ask these questions while a couple of members are available to answer them. I understand these questions can always be asked but sometimes it can take hours or even days before someone answers. If we set aside a specific day and time that general knowledge questions can be asked and then the answer discussed and explained perhaps this would help the newer members to get answers right when they want them. We can all learn from each other's experience and discuss what works for us and what doesn't. I guess it would be like chat but on the open forum for anyone to join in. As I mentioned once people realise they can ask me basic questions I get bombarded with them. I don't mind and like to share what works for me but there must still be lots of new comers who just can't get their questions answered in an easy way to understand. Simple things like our abbreviations still confuse them and we are all guilty of talking a mile a minute using the abbreviations which just confuses the new comers more. Anyway food for thought going back to basics for very beginners may be useful - that's the sort of information a lot of people are looking for1 point

1 pointOne of my female (I think) Rilis.. Any tips on how to develop the pattern and increase the coverage of the head and tail ( will it help to breed them with a high grade red cherry).. I will use this thread to keep track of my shrimps and post photos of them.. Thanks for looking..1 point -
1 pointSo today got some lids made and the dividers made. Siliconed them into place. Today I learnt I'm crap at siliconing and measuring haha But I got the end result so let's hope tomorrow night they hold together for the water test1 point -
Ben when mine get stuck in the no breeding cycle the water change trick nearly always works. Dean recommended 3 x 30% water changes 3 days apart. It does induce moulting though so if there are a lot of berried mamas there would be a chance they might moult and the eggs may stay with the moult. Good luck you have done really well with this colony.?1 point

1 pointIt was just a hunch and process of elimination. Ineke mentioned in another conversation that Adelaide water is very high in TDS. I was wondering if Albash lived in Adelaide and used tap water. Because using Adelaide tap water is a recipe for disaster. But it looks like Albash is in Melbourne and uses ro water, so that hunch is eliminated. @albashHow much water change are you performing each time?1 point -

Some more photos that didn't make the cut. I don't know how I got this shot. Must have been playing with the camera settings!

Can't claim them as me having bred them as the females came berried from Bob's stock. But I'm excited that the shrimplets have hatched and survived (so far).1 point
