Hi everyone,

I recently got myself a few PINTO shrimp, from what i was told, they came from KK's.

I am generally new to these type of shrimp, and was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on the tank setup, water parameters, temperature, feeding etc

Currently I am running; 23L for about 10 of the pintos, have a few plants, driftwood, and using a HOB filter, and AQUAUP shrimp sand. I also threw in a few IAL's.

Once again i tried uploading photos, but it exceeds the max size.. could anybody give me some advice with the file sharing please?

cheers!

  It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

  I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

  Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied. All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!
