Need a male...lineage recs


NP21

Recommended Posts

So I have 5 Bloody Mary Sakura females (maybe one male in there but unlikely) and I’d like to add in a male just to keep the population going. Definitely not trying to sell or create too massive of a colony.

 

The place I got the females from just doesn’t have many (or any) males available. When I purchased the shrimp I asked for a couple males but likely didn’t get any (juvenile females).

 

So what other lineage would you consider adding that wouldn’t alter color too much or would potentially lead to other colors? I realize a Bloody Mary male would be ideal, but I’m not sure one is available locally to me.

 

I suppose I could also try and order some online as well if needed.

 Hold out until you find male Bloody Marys. You don't want to alter the BM lineage.

Oh, alright. Just asking cause I actually have A few tang tigers I ordered by mistake. 
 

EDIT- Oh sorry bro, idk what I was reading lol. For some reason I thought you where considering ordering some tang tigers, and I was offering to send you some if needed. But I just reread your post and it says nothing like that

I have the opposite problem... too many males. Bought some Black Rose. 15 males and 5 females. Dumped 10 males in my cull tank.

its been a while but ive seen some good LFS stock of BMs in the PDX area. Also, the aquaswap reddit has been successful in myself finding local breeders.  Hopefully within a year ill have some strong lineages myself to sell.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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.
