Hello Guys! I'd like to show You my PRL selection. I took some time to achieve this level. The movie is in Polish language, but feel free to ask any questions. I'll try to post future movies with english translation or post a version of this movie in English.

Originally designed this with "T" pieces, one end covered in mesh going into the water, the other end pointing up just aboveboard the water so there's a backup of the shrimp guards get blocked. :) that's how's I did my 5-bay too. Can always do this if it gives you dramas. :) No worries glad to be a help, I love This site too it's great. cant wait to see your tank when's it's stocked already has nice native theme to it :)

Hi guys, A few months ago i was given permission to fill a space with a new tank. The space was small and i was initially only going to keep shrimp. After seeing some possibility i decided to go with a small rack. This rack i built my self out of 42x19 pine which lacquered to waterproof. Its a pretty simple build as long as you keep checking your square and level. The tanks are from kmart. For some reason i really like the build of the tanks they are full glass with a plastic lid. They hold about 20L each. For filtration i have sponges throughout.im running multiple at the moment because my twin ones are new and the other ones i had running in other tanks so they are my seed filters. Originally i wasnt going to use heaters but after a few colder days have decided heaters for the 2 in the colder temps might be worth it just for breeding. Lighting is pretty basic. On the top 2 i have cheap ebay LED and the bottom i have a better LED from the tech den for plant growth so far the growth on the bottom tank is ok. Top two have no substrate and bottom has shrimp soil. I cant remember which brand but i have mixed in some ADA that i had left over. On the bottom i have cooling fans to keep it cool for summer. This is also in the main air-conditioned room so i dont expect the temp to fluctuate too much over summer. Now inhabitants Top is platinum magenta endler trio. Middle is tiger endler trio. Bottom is CRS lower grade as im trying these for the first time im actually happy with the quality and just happy to have CRS Let me mention that the top tanks are for the trios only. Once fry are present they are moved to bigger quartes to grow. Plant life is pretty basic. I have anubias something throughout and on the bottom there is java moss on the wood. Full tank shot Top tank with platinum magenta Middle tank with tigers Bottom CRS tank. Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

While the east coast of Australia is home to Paratya, this complex of species does not occur in the south west of the country. I wondered if they even had "glass shrimp" over there, so before my last trip I started trying to find out. Of course they have glass shrimp - what area with enough water about doesn't? Over in SW WA they have Palaemonetes australis, a lovely shrimp which as it turns out is very widespread and occurred in every likely looking river I sampled. It's a bigger shrimp than most that we keep, probably 5-6cm total length from memory. It's fairly variable but unfortunately has tiny eggs - at least at the locations I checked - so it's difficult to raise the young in aquaria. I would love to give these a more serious try one day, so I wonder are any WA shrimpers keeping these? Or will they after reading this? Palaemonetes australis: I wasn't sure if this should go in "field trips" or here, and decided to make a different post in each section. In the field trip section there will be more shots and some other stuff too. Make sure you have a look!
