So what started as a few tanks and a sump is evolving into a shrimp room ... In the process of preparing and drilling several 3fters, the rack is up and a chiller has been added. Once I have some free time on my hands the tanks will go in.

It's bloody hot in Adelaide at the moment and the heat has prompted me to ask about summer shipping of aquatic animals! Does anyone know how hot (or how cold in winter) auspost express storage facilities, post offices and delivery vans can get? I'd also love to hear of any experience sending/receiving fish or shrimp using coldpacks or heatpacks and how this is done. I don't know if coldpacks would do anything by the time the following day rolls around but there are some that do use them. If a coldpack is placed inside the foam box it might cool the shrimp too much initially; but if strapped outside I'd have to guess that it would be warm by the time the next day rolls around. (Still I have heard of this being done!) Given auspost propensity to take 2 or more days to deliver overnight services I am nervous about buying or selling anything other than cherries at the moment.. ALL input is welcome. Cheers!

Yip got my first load of crs and black cherries the other day. Totally loving it.

Thx Jarad

So we started keeping shrimp at the beginning of the summer and are doing well with our Caridinas and I just got stuff to take some pictures of them. Really good information on this board (sorry that we are more the lurker peeps then super active) as well as some great help from some locals who are now our friends really helped with our success! We are still sorting out issues with our neo's but now that we found our phosphate issue (over 20ppm in the tanks!) we should have those colonies kicking pretty darn soon. Let me know what you think and any tips on photographing the shrimp would be appreciated!

Thanks Jay

Thanks. Looking forward to learning and sharing my experiences in time to come. New to shrimp keeping so loads to learn. Thanks again

Haha sorry a bit random, just these really cool shiny coloured sealable bags @newbreed aquatics sell their food in. ? I've been trying to find out where to order them to use for packaging my own fertilisers. I think they are aluminium/Mylar?

Do you mean the Salty Shrimp Softwater Mineral GH+ ? If that is the product you mean, then it is very similar to Bee Shrimp mineral GH+. So yes, you can use that until you get Bee Shrimp GH+. You will only need very little to raise GH without going overboard on TDS. Also Salty Shrimp KH/GH is increasing your pH, so stop using that until you get pH, GH, KH and TDS all under control and at the right range for Red Cherry Shrimp.
