Some of the colour variations in my chocolates that I am slowly moving to individual colour tanks -these are culls in my big community tank hence the Rili in there too- I might have to look at some of the Blues in that cull tank

I love the Pandas too, they seem to hold their bodies more proudly than the Crystals almost like their chest is puffed up and their tails are in the air.

That's great Newbreed hope you get some nice ones. I put the Chocolates for the comp in to a separate tank and there are already at least 2 berried girls in there. They breed continuously.:D

Thanks Pappyy3 I've had a lot of help from forum members to get my collection going, between what I have purchased and what I have been given I am getting quite a few varieties now- not just the types in the photos. I have been very lucky:D

You have some beautiful shrimp Ineke.

Also, your photo-taking skills have improved heaps from when you first started posting pictures.

Finally got a good shot of my other Panda- thought it was a KK but the bands grew too big (I Think?). Nice little man this one. This is a good shot of the longer antennae of males <a href=%7Boption%7Dhttp://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b583/ineke24/PB200078_zps27f81b68.jpg' alt='PB200078_zps27f81b68.jpg'>

      Is he new? Or did you always have greens?

      Thanks, day 2 in the tank and the shrimp seem fine (not done roll call yet today), I saw 9 (got 11) yesterday and no dead bodies  so I 'assume' the other 2 were hiding somewhere. I drip acclimated them over night so they had a longer acclimate and hopefully that helped, but it is early days yet, however so far so good. I am looking forward to getting blue bolts at the end of the week but I doubt they will be as pretty as yours, but at this point I will be happy enough as long as they survive. That will be the lot this time so I am calling this tank 'bruiser tank' as it will only be mixed 'black and blue' shrimps!  I don't have any rocks this time just some small pieces of lava rock. The tests I did yesterday show KH is 0-1 (you can't test for 0 obviously) and PH was 7 on the drop test but the disc meter thing in the tank shows yellow so should be below 7 (the nearest match I think is 6.6) but all the test kits show in stages, and it can be difficult to tell when they are just different shades of the same colour. The seller of the shrimps said his tanks were PH 6.8 so we are at least closely matched. GH should go down slowly with the regular water changes/maintenance etc so hopefully the shrimp can handle it being a little high temporarily, seller had GH 5-6 (I assume 6 drops) and mine is just on 7. I am pleased with the sparser/simpler tank and the fact I can just glance over and see it when I am in my usual seat is great. I have a stick on thermometer so shouldn't have a similar disaster to before and have the heater set cooler at 21 this time, though in summer the tank will go above that most of the time. Hope everything is fine with yours!

      Good luck.  I hope the Ph / KH issue is under control.  If not... Maybe use peat? Edit:  looking at a previous picture - maybe you should just remove those rocks for now

      My lil emerald green. It's a lot harder taking macro shots with 15mm glass tanks.
