Noticed 2 yellow cherries turning more green with maturity, and just reached breeding maturiy. Have seen pics and conversations on greens from yellow, and hoping to share info on whether they stay green, and the outcome if the F1+...... Considering introducing them to my green cherry project.

I have had 2 females do that from my yellow colony. They started out normaly but became a bit off coloured as they saddled up. Over about 3-4 months they became a ritch emerald green but seemed to be sterile.. both lived to about the 1 year mark. Ill try to find a pic of them.

They are.really green for a first gen, it would be interesting to know if they are sterile.

If you have a look at daydreams shrimp pics I put up(sorry I don't know how to link a thread). He has some green he is working on from yellows but the colour change is more subtle between generations and they are breeding.

It still has a way to go before they breed true.

Awesome looking....shame it didn't breed :-(

Yeah I was quite sad when she died. I have been keeping a close eye on my yellows hopping another one will pop up and be fertile

That's a really good green aquathumb. I hope the genes are still in the colony for you, you never know what could be in the next drop of babies.

Good luck to you, bb and anyone else going green soon we will have all of the colour variety that overseas has, maybe more.

Maybe apply for a government grant for greening the nation lol.

Cheers mick

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
