CRS colouring

[ineke]

I know people are starting to go for all red CRS and I just wonder what the thoughts on this are now.

Why do I ask well I have just found a beautiful red creature in my CRS tank. It looks like a King Kong but red and white , the red appears very solid and the few bits of white are good and very interesting. I will catch it out and take some pictures when I do my water changes and cleaning in the next few days. I'm not sure what to do with it - until recently it would have been classed as B grade I suppose except the red is so solid. I'm thinking maybe pick out another couple of almost all reds to try and make a red line group or just putting it in with my Tibees to add colour. I would be interested in your thoughts of what to do with it- I think it's female - I probably shouldn't leave it in my CRS colony because it goes against the standard.. As I said if it was black it would look like a nicely marked King Kong - I don't believe it has TB in it although I did have my TB's in that tank some time ago and she doesn't look like a red wine or ruby red but then my TB's have no red in them they all come from Blacks. Please give me a few ideas I don't want to just pass it off as a cull because of the solid red

If you have the space or tank (which I know you do) I would go for an all red project

I do have the space and I also have a few more shrimp with more red than white but the depth of colour isnt as good. It might be an interesting project

I have frustratingly spent the last 2 hours trying to find my Red CRS. I have found some similar but not her quality and also caught out a few more stray Cherries but I haven't had as much as a glimpse of her!!!!! I haven't pulled out the mosses so I'm sure she is hiding there but gee it almost makes you doubt there ever was such a creature!!!! Never mind tomorrow is another day and I will have another try.

Sorry, noob question... but how do I upload pics? 

 

I had some fairly low grade CRS's that I kind of lost interest in. I left them in a 4 ft community tank, and to be honest, I'm really liking how the offspring have turned out.

They are almost all red, with very thin white stripes.

Upload to Photobucket and paste the IMG url in the SKF editor.

 

 

We used to be able to upload pictures for sharing in SKF, but that feature seems to be unavailable now.

I've raised that question in Forum suggestions.
