No way!!!  : SURPRISE :

 

Even the No-Entry Hinomaru is in half. As if to suggest that it is two completely different shrimp stuck together.

Is it a true CBS, I mean is there a possibility that Mischling genes might be in it's line somewhere?

 

Red in CBS I'm not surprised about. CRS and CBS are very similar genetics wise. CBS can carry red genes, but the black gene is dominant so the red hardly shows. However, occasionally a rare red one will pop up out of a CBS colony. 

 

But it's strange, if that shrimp is for real - then it suggests that the genes that control colouration on either side of the spine is independent down the central spine. I guess if pattern can be independent, why not colour.

I promise it is for real

He is actually selling it

And it's not a mischling it's a Crs/cbs

Love these two faced shrimp. Be great to get them line breeding.

There are a couple like this in Victoria. One KK, extreme one half, panda the other.

They look bizarre yet amazing how it separates straight down the middle. Could be a lot of fun to breed to see the results.

Two face. I like it.

Amazing shrimp. Out of curiousity, what is the asking price for a shrimp like this?

do you think if you had a couple of shrimp like that and they breed, they will turn out like 2 halfs? or some, or just a high % than normal

I don't necessarily agreed with that. We have seen overseas that some breeders are getting them to pass on the trait.

It could be a form of conjoined twinning or chimera and not a genetic trait at all, which is rare but not as rare as people may think (eg, there's been quite a few proven humans with multiple sets of DNA connected to different parts of their body, look up Lydia Fairchild as an example she was deemed to not be her three childrens biological parent because the DNA of her skin and hair didn't match)

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
