WOW!!!! I am very jealous now that I only have small shrimp tanks.  If I tried that in my large tank my goldies would say "OOOOO thanks so much for the salad bar!!!" LOL

What lights do you have? do you use CO2? what are your water parameters? Do you add fertilisers?

Heres a video update of tanks

 

Its 100lt tanks , one pair ancistrus, and a lot of babies 100-150.
I had 20rummys , but after i left for 1.5 month i found only four.
Filter is fluval 206, light 21watt osram 865, no co2 , and ferts when i saw something wrong.
There is a lot of bba, but it look great to this tank,and dont do anything . :)

 

 

 

Shrimp tanks , rcs , snowball, orange. neocaridina
Light is 28 watt for 3 tanks.
Diy ferts, co2 difuse in hang on filters.
In rcs tank temp is very low , thats why the green algae on leaves temp is 18c.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 180lt nature style
Light is 2 x 39watt osram, and one red.
Filter 2 ecco pro 2036 , and co2 cerge reactor.
Fert diy , ~ Ei .

 

 

 

 

100 lt sulawesi tank .

Light 21 watt, use salty shrimp mineral 7.5.
Shrimps are 200++.

 

 

 

Last four tanks. :)

First tank topaz blue shrimps, light is 7watt led the cheap one for home :) , co2 difuse in hang on filter, no ferts, water ro , tap and mineral.

The other 2 crs tanks,light is 18watt t8 for both tanks, in one there is co2, in the left there are 7 otos , trying for breeding, and here ro mineral, and no ferts.

The last one with neo yellow, light is again cheap 5w led, no ferts , cos difuse in fillter ,water ro -tap and minerals.

Very nice tanks @nicpapa.

What substrate do you use in your planted tanks? ADA?

 

The most tank have just gravel, other have mix seachem flourite wiht gravel, and at crs tank akadama.

Beautiful tanks. Your Dutch tank is impressive in all of the iterations. I wish I had the space (and the time) to run similar setups.

Was there any reason not to keep shrimp in your ancistrus breeding tank as well?

      Update to say that after a few gravel vacs, front wall scrub, moss / floating plant trim, that the condition seems to have improved.  My current theory is that it is due to waste / debris management, where "stuff" like that brown mulm accumulates in the substrate and behind the HMF filters.  Maybe some tanks can somehow deal with it, but mine can't.  Also another experienced shrimper suggested that maybe those "shell bugs" don't just live on the shrimps but also in this debris.  Maybe this is the reason some tanks fail due to "old tank syndrome" where all they need is a good gravel vac? Also, I am guessing that plant trim helps too because now more of the nutrients and light go into growing algae instead of more plants? Well anyway for this tank I will try weekly water change and monthly gravel vac / plant trim.  For my next tank, I'm thinking of something like an under-gravel system where this mulm can fall down and I vac it out.

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony.

      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
