journal Start of shrimp room

[ineke]

So now to the room again . Tank 1 is now a CRS tank . I will work to improve the quality and grades of these guys

Tank 2 is my new Pinto colony

Tank 3 is my Taitibee Bluebolts

Tank 4 is my pure TB line

Tank 5 is my 2015 juvi tank of Taitibees with a couple of adults that I kept. There are some interesting babies in there still a bit small to photograph but I'm hopeful of some interesting shrimp in there

@ineke it's like getting a mixed lolly bag, you just never know what you are going to get. Sometimes you get some rippers sometimes some dreadful colours. hahaha

Tank 6 has my Taitibee Snow White/ Goldens.

tank 7 is Taitibee Ruby Red and Wine Red.

Tank 8 is now my Tiger tank with Taitibees and CRS to make Tibees

Tank 9 is my Taitibee KK and Panda tank

Tank 10 is my pure  TB Bluebolts

Tank 11 is the remnants of my CRS colony which hopefully will find new homes soon

Awesome!

I wish I had 8 tanks! Do you have a recent pic of how the whole room is set up? I am trying to get idea for when I set a room up.

Please don't wait another year for the next update. haha

That's my room as it stands today !

11 tanks Disciple plus my big one in the lounge ?? . The room still looks the same only difference is the lighting and the addition of a reverse cycle air conditioner 

@larrymull I love the mixed bag the Taitibees give. I am disappointed that they are reverting to the pure lines but I'm hopeful that adding some fresh Tiger genes will fix that. On the other hand I love the TB patterns I'm getting

@Disciple I am using a bedroom in my house with a bench round 3 sides of the room as I have injury restrictions that don't allow me to reach high or bend low. If I could change anything I would like tiles on the floor and a sink with water in the room but otherwise it works very well for me. If I pushed hard I would be able to setup a second room - I have enough spare tanks etc but I worry about the electricity bill as I am now retired. We have a large solar panel system that covers the electricity bill completely but another room might just cost too much extra.
