When i started my line of tangtai i crossed females tt with males twb as my end goal was to breed backline and fishbones, it is a long process but really enjoyable especially when you start getting results, just make sure to set aside a few tanks for that to avoid inbreeding.

@vshrimp

looks very promising.

Keep us updated with pics of these little fellas as they get older.

They should colour up a bit when they get older.

Just an update. After the F1 shrimplets had grown up. I culled the males and kept 3 females. From those females, I then crossed back to a RB. Heres the female berried.

After releasing the eggs, I discovered I may have created some Blue Steels. Heres the pic of the baby.

And now here it is at juvie age. Only found 2 of them and hoping for them to be a pair. Fingers crossed. :D

Also...I'm hoping this one could be a red steel. Might need to work on it but it looks promising.

Here's how the reds are looking. After talking to a reputable breeder. I was told its a red bolt phenotype and that I'm on the right track to breeding Red Steel.

So one of the females finally berried. Father is another Blue Steel that I bought to stabilize the line. So in a way I'm taking a short cut. Who doesn't like taking short cuts lol.

Also looks like I might finally have some actually Red Steel. This one is a F3 tangtai potential RS. 2f0188ecb845714d202e97b242a2422b.jpg4399931292b894ab4e96458b573227d8.jpg

This female has gotten super dark. Drop most of her batch but is still holding on to a few eggs from what I can see. Should be any day now for the release of the shrimplets. 0bf1f5f5d0b47343a081a7f85acb77fd.jpg

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      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.

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      Hello! I have a tank that currently does not contain shrimp, but does contain neon tetras which I am currently treating for Ich, as well as some bladder snails. Shrimp will be a later addition, likely cherry shrimp but I'm still doing research just to be sure. Initially I'd intended to buy some sort of Ich-fighting product that contains malachite green after doing a decent bit of research on it, most of which indicated that it should be shrimp-safe so I'd be good if I ever needed to use it again once shrimp were actually introduced (though I should note I'm aware shrimp can't get Ich, I'm more wondering in case the tetras could get Ich again, or something else that responds to similar medication). I ended up not being able to find any MG-containing products without either having to travel quite far or wait multiple days for delivery (which I was worried could lead the Ich to be fatal), and ended up picking up 'Top Fin Ick Remedy', a product that contains gentian violet which is a triarylmethane dye like malachite green. The bottle has two slightly differently worded warnings about its use with invertebrates ("not recommended for" and "not safe for" respectively), but when I'd been researching malachite green, I'd also heard of products that contain MG but not any other ingredients that would be harmful to inverts still being branded with warnings that they could be harmful, just as a "just-in-case" since the manufacturer didn't test it on any inverts, and I'm wondering if maybe it could be a similar situation here. I'm having a very very hard time finding information about gentian violet's use in fishkeeping at all though, it seems currently extremely uncommon. What I will say though is that I'm on day 2 of treating my tetras with it, and the bladder snails seem just fine -- in fact today I noticed what looked to be a bladder snail that appeared to be newly hatched (because of its size) that I hadn't seen before that was zipping around the tank without issue. But obviously, shrimp are not snails, and bladder snails are also notoriously hardy little guys, so what I'm seeing right now could easily be totally inapplicable to cherry shrimp. It might even be inapplicable to other species of snails, for all I know. Has anyone else here ever used anything that contains gentian violet in a tank that actually does contain shrimp? Were they okay, or should I make sure to not use it once shrimp are added?

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.
