Wild Type Cherry

[BlueBolts]

Just wondering whether anyone has breed or X bred the wild form (clear, with tiger'ish stripes) cherry, and what the results were ? Just curious

[Aquathumb]

I have not but wow that cherry looks very cool! would be fantastic to breed some tiger stripes into the conman colors we are working with atm.

[fishmosy]

The ones I got from you have bred but they are too small yet to tell what they will look like. Will keep you updated.

[Ziek]

Man that cherry looks really cool.

[honcho]

Ive got this one from u marcus.. due any day now..

ill let you guys know what the babies look like..

She mated with a similar male

[BlueBolts]

Honcho, what the hell happen to her ... She looks like she's ready to explode.....over doing the breeding liquid ? LOL

[honcho]

Lol.. i havent used breeding liquid ..

Its her first batch ,and shes loaded maybe too much bloodworms lmao..!

Most eggs are fairly clear. But 1 or 2 look kinda yellow..

:confused: i got no idea whats gonna pop out..

I love it !

I quite like the wild cherry type ( have one male ATM thanks to Marcus)...Looks like a tiger shrimp with its stripes (pretty camouflaged)...Has anyone got any that they are not too keen on let me know...CJ

[BlueBolts]

Great work Honcho, youve gotta share and open a thread on the outcome !

CJ, I'll raid my son's tank and find you a matching girl !

[Neo-shrimp]

That would be great Marcus ...

CJ I will have plenty soon if you want some more, last batch of shrimplets seem to be a lot of wild types!

This is a shrimp from a Yellow male x Red female cherry. I think it's a cherry, unless it is a chameleon. The black one on the right is a chameleon.

If it is a cherry, than Yellow x Red = wild type- generations of selective colour breeding gone.

Woah all very cool!!!!

I have Afew funny oddly coloured cherrys here's 1

[2OFUS]

In person she actually looks greenish

[Baccus]

I actually have a female that is very similar to the shrimp pictured, she came from a cross between a black male cherry and a dark red female. I think I also have a couple of younger males with her now. I am just waiting for them all to be old enough to breed and then see if their offspring are similar or other colours start emerging.

One thing I will say for them is that they are almost impossible to spy in even a small tank, their cammo is really good.

Got this wild type from a cherry tank.

He has bred with a solid red cherry.

Shrimplets due any day now.

[BlueBolts]

Thanks for all the contribution to date...just keen on keeping an eye on any great variations we could perhaps work on ...

[Neo-shrimp]

Nice video Kaizen088...Red Cherries are fantastic...Wild type cherry are pretty good in the camouflage department...Thanks for the vid...CJ

PM ed you Kimbo...Cheers CJ

Here are a couple of pictures of my similar to wild type shrimp

I will apologise first up for the amount of snail crap in the tank, I have a losing battle with snails in that tank and I am loath to have another carrot disaster in the tank.

If you can;t spot this one its blending in with the snail crap to the left of the pale clump of food

Same shrimp different angle

And again same shrimp just closer and it moved a bit

There is a large ready to breed female in the tank somewhere but she wouldn't show herself

[BlueBolts]

It's absolutely fantastic to see so many members having a go with the cherry variants. Interesting to see the results of the shrimplets etc.... Keep em coming..

Squish with tweezers and feed them to the shrimp. Dont feed the shrimp anything else so they eat the squished snails.
