I just received the male "cull' CRS that Gbang offered last week. They look fanatastic and will be a huge boost to my CRS tank as the ones i have come from a breeder that has blacks and reds together. Now with Glenns pure Reds I can have the fun of starting my own pure line with the bonus of good males to start with.

Much appreciated Gbang Thank you very much.

i have been very lucky this week with the generosity of our members :beer:

a few pictures of the "CULLS" and a lady admirer saying come and get me- everywhere the camera went so did she. Think she was after the boys though. Sorry about the photo quality not enough light and too much zoom I think. Will try to get better pictures tomorrow when they come closer to the frontimg]<img src=img]<img src=

this is the boy chaser but they are keeping their distance!

With culls like these our Crystal population is going to improve in leaps and bounds! The pictures are pretty crap really and don't show how good they are!

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?

      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?

      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.
