This weekend there is a big event in Holland: "Vivarium Beurs 2014". There will also be a stand from the GEK forum, a Dutch shrimp forum and also a Shrimp Contest. In this topic I will show pictures and video of this event. It's very difficult to make decent macro pictures on a shrimp show, so don't expect to much from the pictures. Taking video is easier though.

 

Tomorrow (Friday) I will be able to visit and have a sneak peak. If possible I will post some info already.

 

For now I have a picture of "SchorpioenW" the owner/manager of the dutch GEK forum:

Nope not this year. Had some trouble and not the adult shrimp of the quality I had in mind. Next year I will try.

 

But I did some aquascaping contest with a mate, will post details later.

 

I've visit the build up today. It's gonne be very nice. A lot of things about aquarium, terrarium and pallidarium. Also the show is nice, about 40 tanks I guess. Looking forward to see some shrimps in in. More coming soon :).

Cool~ I love aquascaping. That's my aquatic hobby before I started shrimp keeping. I will patiently wait for your photo. :D

The event was very nice! Lot's of things an animals. Lot of aquariums too.

 

The shrimp contest was a little disappointing. The organization told me they had some setbacks with the tanks and what breeders ship to them, different types then the told before. But it was nice to see that even in a small country a shrimp show was organized. Here some pictures form the setup. A video and more pictures of the shrimp will follow. I did not make photo's myself, but I know a few who did so I can show their pictures later.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      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.
