Noob question: do the different breeds of shrimp carry different coloured eggs? I only have red cherries. So I only know of yellow. Lol

@zacsbee89, yes different shrimp have different color eggs :)

so was going through my tanks tonight and found this (F#secret) mishling :)

this is a line i have been working on for over 1 year now.

CRS mishling female with %100 KK eggs :victorious: this is a first for me so as you can imagine i am very rapped with the results...

until now the most i was able to achive was 8-10 eggs :)

cheers BB, patients is a thing i have had to learn :)

@trav, quality of quantity will win any day of the week mate, you dont need a million shrimp to achieve good results :)

so from what i have gathered is that a mishling will produce a larger quantity of eggs then a pure strain kk?

That's not entirely true....depends on the F generation, maturity of female & LUCK.....genetically and theoritically the TB egg numbers are a lot smaller in comparison to CRS/CBS...... plus being more sensitive/demanding, therefore, demanding the higher $...my CRS has produce 30+ shrimplets, whereas my's avg of TB's is approx 8-14...... whether or not from a pure strain or a mischling....

so what will that make the shrimplets? will it make them TB's with CRS genes? or will it make them pure TB's?

So technically its alot easier and less $$$ to start with say 2 mishling females and 1 male TB to start your breeding stock?

yes if you can buy some mishling juvi from a trusted person and wait for them to grow and select the females only to cross with a TB male, you are on your way.

but with the mishlings just remember the higher the "F" (generation) the higher rate of TB off spring :)

      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.

      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.
