PRL


Recommended Posts

I think this is the correct section.

 

My question is; What exactly are PRL?

 

Are they just excellent quality Crystal Reds?

 

I have looked online but there are a few conflicting statements.

 

Trying to get my head around all the different shrimp types and further my shrimp knowledge. :geek:

 

Cheers in advance.

PRL is Pure Red Line. Unsure how many generations it relates to but others with more knowledge will elaborate.

They are stunning as they are line bred for stronger colours and select patterns.

Most are the result of years of intensive culling and selective breeding.

I was thinking something like that Newbreed.

 

The ones you see pics of look amazing compared to the standard CRS.

 

With some of the prices you see around I figured must justify something pretty special.

Besides selective breeding CRS/CBS, I personally believe they posses some TB/Mishling genetics, but crossed back to CRS/CBS, and in many generations of back crossing, PRL's are created......IMO of course..

I occasionally get a absolute black/white insane Mishling that has so much potential, and appear to have the depth of colour and intensity of a PRL.... on other occasions, some mishlings have colours legs etc....

BB I was thinking they may have had something else mixed in with them as their colour is so intense.

That is one sweet mishling too mate,

there's also the discussion of prl not being neccessarily without the golden gene. it's just that the golden gene washes away good red/black legs. but people overseas have used the golden/snowwhite gene to create white legged pure lines?

Sweet Mischling/Minchling G! I have mischlings which I am going to attempt to line breed, their markings are too good to ignore! Its too hard to ignore the potential, but will just have to be clear with their histories if selling them later on!

Hello Ben,

 

here in europe we have several lines of PRL and PBL. But originally they all come from Asia.

In these lines (Benibachi, Ueno, Akaebinosato, etc) will not be selected according to degrees but primarily by color cover.

For one shrimp with good color coverage, even in the legs, is often called here sometimes about €700 (about $1000).

I have some PRL from the Akaebinosato line, but no highgrades. I hope the higher  grades in colour coverage come through selection.

 

One example out of my tank:

As I saw them first by a german breeder I was totally surprised. Never seen somthing like this before. He has one of the best breedinglines in Germany.

Now I am lucky that 12 of these shrimp are moved about two months ago in my tank. I'm waiting for offspring. But this will take time. They are still too young.

 

Greetings

Lars

You have some stunning shrimp and fantastic photos.

 

I particularly like the third photo above. Beautiful shrimp and great contrast against the green.

It's been long time ago that I showed you my first PRL.

Meanwhile, they are divided into four Tanks.

The offspring grows .

Good day.

 

Your shrimps are breed from Mario's shrimp line?

Hello,

 

yes, i got some shrimps from Mario.

I started with Lowgrade JustBees.

Mario's High Grades are awsome.

At the moment I look for good PBL / JBB, but they are hardly to get here.

 

Greetings

Lars

      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...........
