Yes Disciple it is a beauty and the female is berried hopefully to this male. I wonder where it came from??? 

I will try and get a few better pictures once I learn to use the camera better. The shrimp was almost at the back of the tank

It's an android - Teca brand with an 18 mp camera. It has an onboard editing app included but the pictures look awesome on the phone not so good on the computer. It's the operator not the deviceLOL I have a lot to learn but with this I can send the pictures direct from the phone where before I had to send it to the computer first. Again operator not knowing what she is doing!

Thank you they are all works in progress but it's nice to see the improvement. The Pattern on the Taitibee is getting closer to what I'm aiming for - the hard part is getting them to breed true but I am getting a few each drop of babies so will be able to do more selective breeding later this year I hope

I have more out in my pond . I had given up breeding Neos but it might be worth catching a few more out of the pond and giving them another go.

You might have absolute gems in that pond out there Ineke- that blue shrimp is so even-coloured and bright that it looks like it has a very good pedigree. Maybe you gave up a bit early, so the cherries continued your breeding program in the pond for you- please let us know when you find mythical purple cherries in that pond!?

LOL no the Blues were never really in my breeding program with the Neos. I had beautiful blacks with a blue base . I had quite a large collection of  Chocolate, Black, Rili and Blue Velvet from the Rili. The culls were put out in the pool if nobody wanted them and over the last 2 years the colour in the pond has turned to mainly blue or black with an occasional Bloody Mary. The Blue Velvets were never put out there so apart from the rilis perhaps adding a bit of blue it's mostly from the blacks. There are a lot of very pale blues out there which might get a bit darker in the aquarium setting as the water is different parameters inside . It might be an interesting way to spend a day just catching and sorting them.

I often get better pics with my phone.

i find strong lighting helps and if you autofocus and then pull back a cm or two they capture a better image. Nice shrimp btw ?

Thanks Inverted -I haven't had time to practice but will get back to it .The phone takes great pictures it's just hard to keep my shrimp close enough to the front of the tank. My DSLR takes good pictures but as I haven't got a macro lens the phone seems better and easier.

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      Alright, I've done a bit more research on gentian violet's cancer-causing potential but I haven't yet done research on malachite green's to compare. But from reading the California propositon 65 document about GV (North Americans incl. some Canadians will recognize this as the law that causes some products they buy to be labelled with "known to the state of California to cause cancer", including the exact product I bought) it seems that the risk of cancer is related to internal use, either injection or ingestion. Speaking of ingestion, I think GV bans mainly relate to its use in treating fish/shrimp/etc. which are intended for human consumption, because of the above. And in countries where GV isn't banned for this purpose, it does seem to get used on various species of shrimp without causing any issue for the shrimp themselves (at least enough so for shrimp farming purposes). See the following: In February, the FDA Began Rejecting Imported Shrimp for Gentian Violet and Chloramphenicol (2022 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) FDA Starts New Calendar Year by Refusing Antibiotic-Contaminated Shrimp from Three BAP-Certified Indian Processors and Adding a BAP-Certified Vietnamese Processor to Import Alert (2024 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) Southern Shrimp Alliance and some other organizations have tons of other articles in this vein, but I'd be here for a while and would end up writing an absolutely massive post if I were to link every instance I found of articles mentioning shrimp shipments with gentian violet and/or leucogentian violet registering as contaminants. That being said, I know shrimp farmed for consumption and dwarf shrimp are often somewhat distantly related (in fact, the one time a shrimp's species name is listed that I can see, it's the prawn sp. Macrobrachium rosenbergii, who at best occupies the same infraorder as Neocaridina davidi but nothing nearer), but this at least gives a slightly better way of guessing whether it will be safe for aquarium dwarf shrimp or not than my bladder snail anecdote from the OP.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I would hazard a guess that perhaps those eggs were unfertilized and thereby unviable? Did the eggs change colour, usually yellow to grey as the yolks used up, or any eyes in the eggs. Is your water ok, using RO remineralised and the parameters in range, as I have heard others say that if the water isn't good it can 'force' a molt? How is it going overall, do you have a good size colony in the tank, you may have reached 'maximum occupancy' as a tank can only support so many occupants.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      Hello folks,  The current problem I am having is that my Taiwan bee shrimp are molting before all their eggs have hatched.  Often the shrimp keep the eggs for 40+ days.  During that time, they lose about half or so, either due to dropping or duds or whatever.  Shortly before molting they look to have about a dozen left, and then they molt with about half a dozen eggs still on the shell.  Then the other shirmp will come and eat the shell.  These last few times, I have been getting around 0-3 surviving babies per batch.  I figure I can make the eggs hatch faster by raising the water temperature more (currently around 68F, which is already a few degrees higher than I used to keep it) or make the shrimp grow slower by feeding them less (protein).  Currently I feed Shrimp King complete every other day, and also a small dab of Shrimp Fit alternating days.  Maybe I can start alternating with more vegetable food like mulberry?  or just decrease the amount of food?

      Yeah, cancer risk was a thing I'd seen mentioned a lot when looking into gentian violet briefly. I kinda just figured it might only be as bad as the cancer risk of malachite green as well, but maybe I should look into it more. I've been doing a pretty good job of not getting it on my skin and also avoiding dunking my unprotected hands into the tank water while treating my fish at least, though. Maybe I'll just not use it once I'm done this course of medication anyways, because I know a store I can sometimes get to that's pretty distant carries both malachite green and methylene blue, and in pretty large quantities.

      Can't help you with Gentian Violet, sorry. It is banned in Australia violet for potential toxicity, and even possible cancer risks. I thought it was banned in Canada as well. At least, you now know why there isn't much info on gentian violet medication and it's use. But keep an eye on the snails after a week. If it affects the snails, it might not kill them immediately. So keep checking for up to a week. Much safer options out there. No point risking your own life over unsafe products.
