Berried Red Rill

[Callan]

Hello All, I have found that two of my red rilli blue gene are berried (Yes doing the shrimp dance) and I don't have a lot of experience with them. I was wondering if someone could explain gestation period and changes to egg color. The eggs were yellow but I have noticed on one of the females that the eggs have gone more of a green color. I would have thought that the gestation period would be similar to CRS. I have these in the same tank as some yellow cherries so I was also wondering if I should separate them?

Congratz, great start to the day ! Gestation is similar to CRS, depends on water temp, but approx. 30days. Eggs colours do very between yellow-green, and yes the yellow and rilli will X...so best to have them separated...and yes, perhaps a new tank is needed . :encouragement: Post up some pics ?

Thanks for replies. More tanks!!!!! The wife will kill me. Already running fifteen fish tanks and four ponds. The electricity company love me though...They remind me how much every quater.

I will try and take some pics, I am not good at taking photos. Will the eggs darken or change color?
