You two are too funny, although I do the same thing with my daughter & my nieces, my daughter lives in Sydney with her mum & every time I go down to see her & fill her up with sweet sweet sugar, she's a good girl so it doesn't cause too much trouble but she doesn't usually go to bed till very late. Now the nieces are a bit different cause my sister in law is pretty strict with giving them sugar, so I have to invent games with prizes, hahaha :victorious:

Definitely Bob I like to stir them up a bit and give my own kids trouble but all with love and no I wouldn't have it any other way.

Last year my son separated from his wife - they are back together now -Phew thank goodness- and I had the children here every other weekend and 3 night a week for 2-3 hours and it was bedlam but in a funny way I miss it all now they have a new home and are all back together.:encouragement:

Ours was a bit ugly at first but as there was no third party involved we got them to work through it and they have been back together for a good 6 months with all looking pretty good.

Thats it I'm 58 and young!!! the oldest is 13 a girl and just the best kid!!! I used to look after her when she was very young until she was about 4- I worked as a Registered nurse but part time looked after her until 1pm on the days I worked . Then I worked until 11pm and had her again the next morning at 7.30. On the days I didn't work I had her from 7.30 until 5.30pm and loved every minute of it. Couldn't do that now. After a couple of hours of having the little one here I am glad to give them back!!!!!

LOL I know where you are coming from, a number of years ago when I had Red Crystals and when they had there first batch of young, I use to spend a lot of time in front of the tank counting young ones.

You will go demented

If Rili eggs are usually green why would this shrimp have orange eggs? Maybe just red cherry babies? Dad is a Rili.

I've seen both colours in Rillis before, I'm not sure why it is, there was a thread on it a few month ago :encouragement:

      Update to say that after a few gravel vacs, front wall scrub, moss / floating plant trim, that the condition seems to have improved.  My current theory is that it is due to waste / debris management, where "stuff" like that brown mulm accumulates in the substrate and behind the HMF filters.  Maybe some tanks can somehow deal with it, but mine can't.  Also another experienced shrimper suggested that maybe those "shell bugs" don't just live on the shrimps but also in this debris.  Maybe this is the reason some tanks fail due to "old tank syndrome" where all they need is a good gravel vac? Also, I am guessing that plant trim helps too because now more of the nutrients and light go into growing algae instead of more plants? Well anyway for this tank I will try weekly water change and monthly gravel vac / plant trim.  For my next tank, I'm thinking of something like an under-gravel system where this mulm can fall down and I vac it out.

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony.

      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
