You've got some gorgeous shrimp there. I can't say I was a fan of Blue Bolts as the few I'd seen face-to-face have been pale by comparison, you're

beginning to make me change my mind, almost consider making space for a pair at some stage. Those girls do glow don't they

You just wait until yours gets berried...pretty sure you male ATM is more blue then the female, so you've got a great pair there.

Thanks for compliments....never ever thought I'd ever say or imagine or considered this, BUT, I've started selective breeding my BB's over the past 2-3 months. Have used my "culls" and x breeding with KK & WR for genetic strengthening, and many has gone to my Tibee program. Will post pics my BB shrimplets tomorrow.

Been culling BB's for 2-3 months now, with the cull's sacrificed to my Tibee program.... BUT, found this "ugly duckling, had turned into a beautiful swan !"

Poor ugly duckling. I hope it didn't develop a complex because it was put in the cull tank.

The blue on the legs is fantastic!

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Thanks, day 2 in the tank and the shrimp seem fine (not done roll call yet today), I saw 9 (got 11) yesterday and no dead bodies  so I 'assume' the other 2 were hiding somewhere. I drip acclimated them over night so they had a longer acclimate and hopefully that helped, but it is early days yet, however so far so good. I am looking forward to getting blue bolts at the end of the week but I doubt they will be as pretty as yours, but at this point I will be happy enough as long as they survive. That will be the lot this time so I am calling this tank 'bruiser tank' as it will only be mixed 'black and blue' shrimps!  I don't have any rocks this time just some small pieces of lava rock. The tests I did yesterday show KH is 0-1 (you can't test for 0 obviously) and PH was 7 on the drop test but the disc meter thing in the tank shows yellow so should be below 7 (the nearest match I think is 6.6) but all the test kits show in stages, and it can be difficult to tell when they are just different shades of the same colour. The seller of the shrimps said his tanks were PH 6.8 so we are at least closely matched. GH should go down slowly with the regular water changes/maintenance etc so hopefully the shrimp can handle it being a little high temporarily, seller had GH 5-6 (I assume 6 drops) and mine is just on 7. I am pleased with the sparser/simpler tank and the fact I can just glance over and see it when I am in my usual seat is great. I have a stick on thermometer so shouldn't have a similar disaster to before and have the heater set cooler at 21 this time, though in summer the tank will go above that most of the time. Hope everything is fine with yours!

      Good luck.  I hope the Ph / KH issue is under control.  If not... Maybe use peat? Edit:  looking at a previous picture - maybe you should just remove those rocks for now

      My lil emerald green. It's a lot harder taking macro shots with 15mm glass tanks.
