my first shrimp. blue gene red rillis


Lozza

Recommended Posts

hello lozza im very interested to see what becomes of the black saddle and eggs! im yet to discover that since my journey with blue gene red rilis began in february this year. i found one that has interesting markings but also a black section where the saddle should be but the black area stretches all the way around the shrimp so it's definitely not a saddle! i also had one appear which has a very deep dark blue section on its tail and quite a bright light blue colour on the rest of it.

 

i will be very interested to see what your black eggs turn out to look like i think you should definitely seperate them if you can. so far ive only seen yellow and red eggs.

 

love n peace

 

will

yours have the navy blue through them too Ineke :) I need to buy a macro lens for my DSLR camera.  drives me crazy trying to get clear photos. the deep rich blue never shows up when I take photos of them.

      I have just done the planned weekly maintenance and 10% water change and everything 'seems' to be going very well, I saw 12 blue and 9 panda shrimps so am very happy about that as there are always some hiding (and they are small) so there must be more than that at this point. Early days yet (especially with the off parameters) with the blues only been in the tank for a week and the pandas for 2 weeks. Not seen any dead ones yet and the shrimp seem happy enough and beautiful colour and pattern, all small so must be young! Parameters were TDS 159, GH 7-8, KH 1-2, PH 7 yesterday so still a bit off the usual ideal! Hopefully these figures come down slowly in time, I used pure RO water for the water change so Tds should drop 10. I will get a different PH test kit with a narrower range/increments as the one I have measures in .5 increments over a wide range which is probably a bit much. I bought these shrimp because the sellers parameters (PH 6.8) were the closest to mine so hopefully it will work out long term. I changed my zerowater filter as well, as the old one was measuring TDS 6 so passed its best. I will definitely overnight drip acclimate shrimp in the future, not that I plan any more in the forseeable future. I will add/edit photo when available, hopefully later today.

      All done now, I drip acclimated 11 blue bolts and 6 blue steel overnight and they are now in the tank so now is just wait and see if this works. 28 shrimps have now been put in and I have yet to SEE a dead one so fingers crossed! A couple of pictures of some below; I don't plan on buying any more shrimp so plan this to be a blue shrimp tank, though if it doesn't work out I have seen some female bettas I would like, but hopefully the shrimps will work out. The water parameters are still the same as before, so a bit off! I need to sort out what foods and shrimp stuff I have in the drawers and cupboard tomorrow as it's been a while, hopefully I find a shrimp lolly so I can give them one/part of those tomorrow, and it may bring as many of the shrimps out as possible.  Fingers crossed everyone...........
