Bad luck or what!

Well i am a little peeved. I jsut got back from sydney and made my last shrimp purxchase for a long time which consisted of acquiring a SSS male with unique pattern to breed with my girls who would not become berried.

So anyway i get home and nearly all of my females are berried with an unknown father!!! :beaten:

so needless to say i am not very happy they decided to do it after i made plans and was aware.

Lol. Should have isolated all the males before you left. I get rid of all my unwanted males.

You just gotta wait another 30days now. Another slow game of watching shrimp. :)

Did I not tell you they will when you least expect or want them to...I don't know what you are peeved about though, I thought they had died or something?

[JonX]

Chi he is peed because he just bought home a sss male to mate them with but they already did the deed with the lower grade males. :)

exactly right! lol gonna isolate my males and probably sell them when i am back in sydney next time :)

Bummer Ozzie, it's always the way, but if you look on the bright side, at least you'll have some culls to sell & get some money to help buy one or two more higher grades & as JonX said, you only have to wait a month before you'll be on again, this time with the SSS :victorious:

I know that, it's just others would love to be in his position with almost all the females berried, also they can always breed again and I am sure there are still females that haven't berried yet. I mean if you were expecting the new SSS male to do the deed with all those gals, paradise as it may seem and what a way to go but that would probably kill him. Looking at the title I thought that his shrimp had kicked the bucket. LOL! PS. Wren't you complaining that they weren't doing the deed after so long in an earlier post? No pleasing you is there? LOL!

[Squiggle]

I have to admit that I thought the same thing :dejection:

Cheers

Haha always the way mate, berried girls are better then no girls lol so go have a drink and get the sss male ready for next month maybe give him a sip to as it sounds like he is going to be a worker shrimp haha

Yep always pick yourself up and get on with it! Me personally I would have gone woohoo bring em on!!

I know i know :P but stillllllllllllllllllllllll. I have noticed a couple of shrimp who appear to be girls and get getting their saddle.

I think i am one of the lucky shrimp keepers in the sense that most of my shrimp i started with have turned out to be girls.
