Just want to share a member from my tank :p

This is my first real golden bee shrimp. He/she have a solid white/yellow color :barbershop_quartet_, you can see he's more yellow than other snow white.

Btw, what's difference between snow white and golden, some said snow white from black crystal and golden form other, some said bright white are snow white, others are golden.....

Very nice dude, my GB's are slightly off white/yellow & my SW's are really white, some people say that GB's came from CRS & SW's came from CBS :victorious:

Too me, its got to do with genetics. I'll call snow whites from CBS genetics and goldens from CRS genetics.

Some say golden or snow white is a 'grading' for a white shrimp.

I think name with genetic history is important because it is good to know where your shrimp came from all the way back to the great grand parents of the shrimp.

Abt Gold and snow white, I think ppl just made it up, they are the same. I havent seen any golden until now, only saw low grade snow white and ppl claim that it's golden....

@2OFUS: Thank heaps. I think there are no chance to have tb offspring if they are mating with crystal isnt it?

first up thats a really gold gold! :) congrats!!

there definitely is a quality difference between good golds and not good quality ones.

notice on really good golds the gold colour is very solid.. not necessarily the depth of the colour, if that makes sense? the lower grade golds will have reds bleeding through.. blotchy pattern.. very visible lines on the back.. some can even look brownish (like the one next to the gold in question in pic above) especially the cheeks and head. the real quality golds are when it is solid gold, even if the colour gold is light gold. from young u can tell how good the gold colour is.. i mostly look for solid colour on the head the body should also be solid if the head is solid.

i can only comment on golds as i have a few but dont keep SW... yet ;)

that little gold will make for an interesting breeding program. if i find any that come this colour i'll keep u in mind.. although im trying for the lighter but solid gold. i have around 20 or so with 2 girls ready to pop any day :)

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Thats a great photo, beautiful blue bolt, I hope it survived the molt without dropping the eggs! I think I can just about see some black dots (eyes) on the central egg but can't be 100% sure. I used to (and plan to again) do weekly water change of 10-15% but if you do too large or quick (not drip in new water) that would likely trigger a molt. What KH are they in, my new setup is sitting at (and refusing to budge) KH 3 and PH 7.5 so I may have to settle for neocaridina shrimp this time as opposed to the caridina I want, though not looking/deciding just yet, give the tank a bit more of a run in! Tap water here starts at kH 14, tds 320, when filtered goes to KH 0 and PH 6 but when put in the tank keeps going to KH3 and PH 7.5 despite 3 x 50% water changes???? You may be at 'maximum capacity' with only 20L tank especially if the tank is a cube type rather than shallow type?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      Right now this tank only has blue bolts and golden bee (red bolts?).  The eggs start off all brown, but at the end, I notice that some are kind of a clear pink-ish color.  So I don't know if that is the egg color of dud or golden bee.  Picture of shrimp only about half hour before molting. The water is always RO + remineralizer, so it should be ok. The tank seems to still be on a "good streak" ever since I started the regimen of weekly water change, monthly gravel vac and plant trim.  The point being to keep the amount of waste low and removing moss / floating plants so that the nitrates go towards growing algae.  At one point, I had three berried females, but only netted about half dozen babies by the end, due to this early molting problem.  There might be about 30-40 shrimp total in 5 gallons, but still very few full-sized adults.

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      Alright, I've done a bit more research on gentian violet's cancer-causing potential but I haven't yet done research on malachite green's to compare. But from reading the California propositon 65 document about GV (North Americans incl. some Canadians will recognize this as the law that causes some products they buy to be labelled with "known to the state of California to cause cancer", including the exact product I bought) it seems that the risk of cancer is related to internal use, either injection or ingestion. Speaking of ingestion, I think GV bans mainly relate to its use in treating fish/shrimp/etc. which are intended for human consumption, because of the above. And in countries where GV isn't banned for this purpose, it does seem to get used on various species of shrimp without causing any issue for the shrimp themselves (at least enough so for shrimp farming purposes). See the following: In February, the FDA Began Rejecting Imported Shrimp for Gentian Violet and Chloramphenicol (2022 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) FDA Starts New Calendar Year by Refusing Antibiotic-Contaminated Shrimp from Three BAP-Certified Indian Processors and Adding a BAP-Certified Vietnamese Processor to Import Alert (2024 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) Southern Shrimp Alliance and some other organizations have tons of other articles in this vein, but I'd be here for a while and would end up writing an absolutely massive post if I were to link every instance I found of articles mentioning shrimp shipments with gentian violet and/or leucogentian violet registering as contaminants. That being said, I know shrimp farmed for consumption and dwarf shrimp are often somewhat distantly related (in fact, the one time a shrimp's species name is listed that I can see, it's the prawn sp. Macrobrachium rosenbergii, who at best occupies the same infraorder as Neocaridina davidi but nothing nearer), but this at least gives a slightly better way of guessing whether it will be safe for aquarium dwarf shrimp or not than my bladder snail anecdote from the OP.
