Back in 2014 I showed some pictures of my quite large CRS colony. At that time I was breeding for numbers just to fill a very large tank so the quality of the shrimp wasn't very important to me. Last year I decided to take it in hand to improve the quality and weed out all. The low grade shrimp. I ended with a much smaller colony so put them into 70 litre breeding tanks, added a couple of mid - high grade males and left them to it. Along the way I culled any low grade males and eventually low grade females . I'm happy to say I once again have a thriving colony of about 150-200 shrimp of mid to mid/high grade shrimp. Patterns initially were B & A with a few S and now they are basically S , SS and a few SSS . There is still a lot of room for improvement and I will be doing another big cull soon . I can see a few shrimp still have tiny clear sections but on the whole they are looking much better. I'm getting colour on the legs now too which is good. Hopefully in another year I might have more high grade shrimp

Hi guys, here is a video of my 30 litres dennerli tank which has been running for 2.5 years now. Started a new bigger tank for them so they will have more space . https://youtu.be/Id0TyvEs6sg

Very cool.

Last update for this thread. The grand design for this tank was to have a WA native only tank housing Palaemonetes Australis and Western Pygmy Perch with no heating and the tank outside. It was always going to be a challenge with changing seasonal light, temp fluctuations and species specific. Things have been challenging. The WPP and WA glassies do not get along. The entire population of shrimp has been eaten and this is why it will no longer be updated on SKFA. For anybody that might be interested it will continue to be updated on AL. I still have a few shrimp surviving in a section of the sump that will be relocated to a tank of their own when, if, finances allow. This is what it looked like a few weeks back. _MG_0103 by Merv Hall, on Flickr

Hello guys. I'd like to share some of my Pinto mix. Hope that U like them. Plis tell me aswell should I start as a part of my chanel english version :)

The stud just made an appearance and I caught him... with a huge long string of a turd hanging out his bottom. Yuck! [emoji12] Still thought I'd share anyway. He's improved since I last had a chance to get a pic of him.

@neo-2FX the issue with moss id is the conditions in which its grown can change its appearance, so you really need to look at it under a micro scope and be able to understand wtf your looking at to determine our moss. but i guess we could get out own version of a moss chard like we do for out grading and id's of shrimp. with a few different pics of the same moss to give a good idea of what they all look like under ideal conditions.

There's definitely one thing that pisses me off! Moss ID! Not as important as the above mentioned ones but thought I'd put it out there.
