Recommended Posts

Hi all, I lost my cull tank to my daughters new interest in endlers, probably jays fault lol.

So I bought 2 cull machines I can't get a pic on photobucket yet of the second one but I showed Gbang a pic the other day.

So this is cull machine 1, a 3.5cm barramundi, so cute DSC_0121_zpsic9eeici.jpg

That was the plan for the the 10ft round by4ft deep pond I had until it got a hole.

What size is he, they are an awesome fish.

Awesome, that will free up the tank for a pair of rays or an awesome Tanganyika display.

Nice little barra, I have been tempted to get a barra myself for all the excess guppies I have, but I keep remembering a friend of mines barra that choked to death on a mealworm of all things.

Nice Red Tail Cat too, I didn't think they where on the allowed list tho.

I have my own much smaller shrimp cull machines as well

They also eat the odd snail too which is a bonus

They are Desert Gobies, where I got them I am not sure if that company can be named but it has the words Live + Fish in its title.

They are beautiful fish, total gluttons and generally very aware of what if going on outside of their tank.

Also available in the trade are Finke River Gobies which are closely related, but I got mine from another company to the first one mentioned.

No that company can't be named.

Are you attempting to breed them at all.

I am hoping that they will breed, but I suspect I might need a second male to encourage them to stake out a territory and display to the lovely passing ladies.

      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.
