Giant Tibee hiding out she barely fits in the slot and that is a big sponge filter, she is in with the Shadow Panda so hopefully they will breed

I have quite a few tiny bubs that look promising but still a bit hard to tell. i think there are a few Pandas and I know there are a heap of whites so they may turn out Bluebolt but will have to wait and see. I'm not sure who the father is that's why I now have only the Panda in with the girls. They were all berried before I setup the maternity tank so this time only the Panda can be the father once they drop this lot of babies. I have at least 200 babies from their other tank but there were male Tibees and Mischlings in there so they could be anything- there are 3 spectacular blue babies so hopeful they are TBM. I have never seen this Panda dancing but I'm 99% sure it's a male.

Either way its still awesome, I am trying to source a low quality BB male atm to put in my CRS tank. I counted at least 50 shrimplets in my tank atm. I Got lucky and a good 75% of my shrimp are girls

i need to buy a few TB's. I will wait and see what these babies are but regardless at best they are TBM and as i only have 1 pure TB I should invest in a  couple more.

That BlueBolt is totally awesome - I'm amazed at her colour as she is a TBM however she was quite pale before she got berried. Her brothers are almost pure white.

Thanks Jamie - not sure who she is berried to at the moment but once these babies are released the only male in the tank is the Shadow Panda so he will be the father of the next batch. :)

Woohoo my Bluebolt mama has dropped her babies and so far there are 3 shadow pandas -very blue- and a Bluebolt again very blue. That's all I can see at the moment as they are tiny and get lost in amongst the substrate. I am extremely happy!!!!

Seeing them brought a glimmer of brightness in my not so good day- hubby is in the cardiac care unit awaiting an angiogram with either some stents being inserted or bypass surgery needed -not a good day. I had to take him in yesterday after several episodes of chest pain which apparantly he has had off and on for OH ONLY ABOUT 6 MONTHS -MEN! Why can't you tell us when something is wrong! Never mind he is in the best place he can be. 

Now back to shrimp staring!

Thank you I'm sure he will feel much better once whichever procedure is done.

It is great to be able to lose yourself looking at our shrimp and to finally start getting interesting colours and types makes it even better!

Al came home today- no major blockages just 2 small ones at the back that weren't treated but he was put on new meds to help dilate his veins and also help disolve the clots. He has low haemoglobin which needs to be investigated but at least his heart is OK. Thanks for your concern.

The new babies have really good colour but I can't see anymore . I'm sure they will show up over the next few days as she was carrying quite a few!

Thanks Shuan it's a big relief that his heart is good . The low haemoglobin is a problem but I'm sure we can work on that.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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...........
