Um, I'm going to state the obvious ... It's a Red Bee Shrimp or Crystal Red.

I like your style, but before I confirm the answer we need at least another two replies, hahaha :-)

Oh this is so much fun!!!!

[newbreed]

Spot on right mate!!!

Since my breeding program is still in beginning stages it was very cool to get a tribe of truly advanced bees.

These two examples are F7 or there abouts. Breeding credited to @BlueBolts

Be great to see what they produce for you. So hard to tell them apart from crystals really. Sure they will produce something beautiful.

This past weekend I got under the Cade tank sorted to what I always planned.

Got the Eheim 2215 going into a UV light for sterilisation , then going into a Eheim 2217 and then through the Hailea chiller.

Since once again my water parameters are struggling to maintain a PH of above 6.5 which for me in my opinion is about the least I would run a shrimp tank ( tested 5.9) I am simply over specialised shrimp and plant soils.....

I have run tanks at PH 7.2 to 7.4 along side the Cade , these high PH tanks have shown me great growth and no mortality.

So all I can hypothesise is if it works for you with low ph then great. I will be going neutral or there abouts for now on :-)

F7 tibee? that still look like mischlings?

[slin1977]

Mum and bubs doing well :-)

[slin1977]

The female pictured above dropped this morning, I saw a couple of tiny shrimplets so that was good 19/8 till 10/9 water temp at 25C

Last gestation was a full month at 19C

I need a proper TB for her but do not hab :-(

Awesome :-) Good to also note your shrimplets survival rate, so that you can tweak the WP if necessary for the next drop. 15-25 shrimplet would be a awesome achievement.... Well done, and thanks for keeping us posted.

Congrats on the new bubs!!

Counted 29 mate and then saw two more. But 29 confirmed. These are the ones pictured.

Now on the other hand, the Cade is not doing well. Seem to be loosing bees again.

Might need to visit the LFS for some suppliments.

Took down CO2 a month ago.
