2nd generation reds from chocs

[smicko]

Hi all, just thought I would throw a few photos of the 2nd gen. I'm umsure as to how they will eventually turn out but they are around 3-4weeks old and looking more orange than red at the moment.

Fascinating smicko...Please keep updating post on these Choc Red cherries...Thanks for the pics...CJ

[Baccus]

They look lovely, I wonder which direction they will go, more orange, choc either way they are looking nice Congrats and good luck with them.

Woah very interesting smicko! I've got different results from mine!

[BlueBolts]

Fantastic.....love to hear about the variation and the outcome of these cherries. Thanks for sharing and the pics....please do update us on their final colouration. :encouragement:

Very cool little shrimp. They look very orange at the moment.

Thanks for the comments, they are very orange at the moment but I am unsure if it's due to the lighter coloured gravel or if they will colour with age. I will be changing to a pure black gravel soon and painting the back wall black, so see what happens.

gbang put some pics of yours up so we can compare.

Cheers mick

I would consider rephrasing that especially with the rumors of gbang going around. Lol!

+1 LOL....

Smiko, are they 8-10mm yet ? If they still remain orange, and if you want something to compare with, I'll send you a sunkist for a true comparison.....:-)

How cute are shrimplettes in macro shot!

Bahahaha you guys are evil. I will put pics up ASAP. They are currently in a bare tank so it will be really good to see their colours without dark substrates. I will move them soon and ill take pics again.

Beautiful shrimplets you have there smicko! It would be really interesting to compare the colouring of your orange babies to a pumpkin/sunkist (I still don't know if those are different or the same xD) shrimp :)

And I'm drooling over the blue rili! ;)

[smicko]

Thanks for the nice comments and the cheeky ones too lol. I really should think about how I word sentences.

Bb they would be around the 8mm mark. I have one or two that are a brighter red buy most are orange.

Jess. The blue rilis are my greatest achievement so far I cant wait for them to grow and breed.
