Wow that's an interesting tiger. So its a TT that's yellow and had no TT patterns? I'm seeing orange but it could just be the way the picture is taken.

Yes these are from my TT colony. They do look orange in most of the pictures but they are yellow. If you look at the substrate you can see different hues yet it's the same tank. I need to get my good camera out to see if I can get a true colour, these were taken with my phone and no flash . I've been told I should call the Yellow KK but I thought Yellow KK are hybrids and to the best of my knowledge these are pure. I have had my TT colony for several years so if they were hybrids it happened before I got them but they were very nice TT and I doubt they were hybrids. Picture below was from the original shrimp again you see different colours due to camera - more likely the operator!image.thumb.jpeg.62e8e08553bd47001ba0b5d3b0545350.jpeg

These are a more realistic colour image.jpeg.859d896d4725b62e15f2707f02cf1771.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.94640b97c0310deb3188f36614b98e35.jpeg

I've just caught out my Yellow colony to move to a new tank and have found 11  shrimp with a new pattern - White body with yellow head ( not clear Rili  pattern but a white like Snow White ) once I get my tanks all recommissioned I will put them into their own tank. Apparently these are called steel pattern/ type image.thumb.jpeg.637874222452efed50ab3804820eb072.jpeg

Very cool Ineke. Keep us updated as to how this project goes. I'd be keen to get some bubs once they are breeding.

Looks great Ineke. I like the yellows and the twotone one as well.

      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.
