    I'd like to share a video about the best shrimp on the Hannover shrimp show 8th edition with you. Have fun.

    These guys are still going really well. Shrimp crawl all over them now. I've even seen shrimp ride on their backs as they have territorial standoffs with each other (they never hurt each other - just kinda have a stare-down and wave their claws).

    Yes that is Shrimp Snow. It is a soya bean waste product and although not particularly nutritious in itself it is the micro bacteria that grows on it that the shrimp graze on. It is safe to leave in the tank rather than having to take out any leftovers like a lot of other foods. It's great for holiday food too. It's available from Boss Aquaria and New breed Aquatics.

    I have a rain water tank for my shrimp and some fish however before I installed the tank I used a Icon Rainwater Diverter purchased from Bunnings $16.95 which is installed between the down pipes with a little cutting of one of the d/pipes. The fitting is a standard hose screw on fitting. I run a short hose into the container with a hose fitting that can be shut off when the container is full. I used my green waste bin 210 litres which is enough to fix any problems with water parameters. Let the water settle before use so any dirt from the roof sinks. To get water out dip in a clear watering can 9 litres again from Bunnings, or for shrimp an old juice bottle filled by dipping into container. Overnight the bottle, to get to room temp or place in a different heated fish tank to get water to desired temp before adding to shrimp tank.

    Get a pH pen. A cheap pH pen is still better than test kits.

    Would you want to risk that @inkevnito? Most balsa wood is imported, which means it is fumigated and treated with insecticides. Flyscreen is cheaply mass produced with cheap stainless and or resin coated. If you need mesh, the least risky option is Marine grade stainless steel that is relatively stable in neutral to alkaline pH. With shrimp being as sensitive as they are, do you really want to risk putting in in the tanks?

I created another thread for natural shrimp foods if people would like to post some reviews on them also :)
