Difference between a Red Rilli & Red Rilli (blue genes)


Neo-shrimp

Recommended Posts

Hello there

I don't know if this have been already mentioned elsewhere within the SKF... Basically I like to know how can you tell the difference between plain Red Rillis & Red Rillis with blue genes?

Cheers CJ

Well yes and no mr chi. All red rilli have the potential but the red rillis without blue Colour on their body really do have a less percentage of throwin blue rilli from my experience

Hi neo, to be honest she is a more extreme example of my shrimp.

Genetically all shrimp in my tank have the same potential, as that is my general understanding of how it works.

All the rillis I have, have a distinct blue tinge. Clearly some more than others.

Just before Christmas I went on a massive kulling spree to leave only the strongest lines with the darkest blues, hopefully this will strengthen the line even more.

My personal objective is to have a undeniably electric blue body and solid red head and tail. (As I like that particular look)

That would look fantastic in a shrimp tank Gino...(electric blue body and solid red head and tail)

      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.
