Tough Week ..... Such is Life ,

[BlueBolts]

Have lost 8 TB's over the past 2 weeks....All my F2 generation, due to old age. :-) it was inevitable, part of nature, BUT sad nevertheless.

Initial deaths sparked panic and confusion. Checked all WP, ALL PERFECT, then the trend of size/age etc... plus berried shrimps and shrimplets all OK, led to the conclusion....had another 2 today, and I suspect over the next 1-2 weeks, all my large adult TB's will face the same fate !

They've all contributed well to the colony, so no complaints.....

Still hard to take BB sorry for your loss. Just hope the ones you have coming on have the genes you want

Cheers

Dam getting old SUX 55 shortly.

So how old do you think they were? it is good to know

By the way I was talking to a customer the other week and he said that he had a Crab for 12 years!!! my best and it was not a natural death was 4 years.
