CRS Culls making a comeback.

Recommended Posts

About a month or 2 ago I had a Very nice CRS that started to look quite unwell. I removed it to a HOBB and kept an eye on its conditions it's the idea to cull it if it didn't improve. Keeping it on its own seemed to do it some good so a couple of weeks ago I added it back to the general population - very happy I did ;)

Anyone else had a cull that made it back from certain doom?

Facing the exact same situation this week and unsure how too proceed .. one of my favourites. Dont have anywhere to put it though sadly.

Hope you don't mind me semi-hijacking your thread @Foxpuppet ! Here is the pic of shrimp I wish would return from the dead so to speak .. :-(

Any tips would be appreciated of course!

There actually seems to be 2 around at the moment with this loss of colour symptom going on at the moment. Not sure if I should be concerned or just write it off as coincidence and continue to monitor ..

Love n peace

WIll

No Probs@revolutionhope

That's kind of what mine looked like, lost colour, pinkish hue. I was worried it was rust disease. But seems to have come off ok.

Were these your own bred shrimp or stock you had added?

Hey @Foxpuppet these are my shrimps, I'm quietly hopeful that they are old but it is a bit concerning that 2 shrimps are displaying this symptom around the same time. There are still other berried shrimps and the rest of the colony seems in good health.. fingers crossed for now I guess.

That's awesome that yours made a full recovery and is now even berried you must really be stoked. It gives me some hope too lol. The issue is that if I want to give them a chance to get better then they will need to go into a tank that has significantly lower pH; and that if it turned out to be a disease then it will affect my chance of putting new stock into that tank in future when I'm ready.. Cheers

love n peace

      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!

      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.
