glad to hear that mate. did you figure out what as causing the shrimp losses?
They were sold to me as blue dreams but I got a really nice light blue from the picture above, and I also have some darker ones. So I’m not really too sure I got them from aquahauna they had the best prices for what I wanted.
I did a couple water changes as my ph seemed a bit high but that’s about it. I think it was more of a natural selection type deal to be honest
Just simple yellow neo caridina, being illegal it was hard to find anything fancy at first and I had 100s of them and spread them throughout my small tanks and sumps. I might start another one, go low KH moss only tank and try for caridina, but again beggars can’t be choosers. There’s only a few options in Perth that I know of.
I did not realize shrimp were illegal in Perth. Is that a recent thing or was I ignorantly breaking the law when I kept shrimp from 2010-12? When I lived there I had crystal red & crystal black caridina, mostly lower grade cause I was a newbie to shrimp, and there was several blokes that kept and bred them locally. I sourced most of my locally bred stuff through the Perth Cichlid Society forum.
