Apart from shrimp, this is some of the other aquatic creatures I breed.

Such a variety in colours. And these are only juveniles (about 3-4 months old).

One of my favourite killifish! They look great Jayc, and will get even better as they get older! 

P.s. mine start breeding from like 2 months old, and I swear i get fry popping up in fry tanks because of this haha.

Thanks @s1l3nt

They look even better when two males start sparring and flaring up at each other.

But I'm never quick enough with the camera.

If I can get frys in the fry tank, I'll be happy.

I I had a about 15 or so fry in October that are now about 2-3cm.

Here are what they look like today. Their colours will change but they look so pretty now.

Found another fry lurking in the tank.

Are these from me?

Yes ! 

They have been fruitful and I have a couple of dozen of them.

Any recent photos of these?

I'll have to drag my gear out. Taking good photos of killies needs the right lighting at the right angle.

Great to hear JayC.

Actually what you have is biateniatum AMAR11; I checked my messages and thats what I sent you.

They were imported into Australia March 2011 by Sydney aquarium store Aquaristic; hence the code AMAR11.

I recently lost these so if you have some spare, I would love to get a pair or some eggs back if it is possible.

Didn't see this reply till now.

Serkan,

I'd be happy to share them back with you. That's funny, because I remember my pitch to you about being a fallback, in case you lost your stock. And look what happened.

I've got the spawn mops out to start collecting as the weather is warming up.

I'm rather busy in the next week or two, so I'll look into sending you something after my busy period at work.

I'll keep you updated either here or on Facebook. I'll send you a pair and some eggs if I collect enough.

In the meantime PM me your details. 

Address, mobile, email.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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!
    • sdlTBfanUK
      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
