I saw a jet black neo at my LFS today. Never seen one before. Has anyone had experience with black neos? Are they chocolate or blue dream offpring? I did see a bright blue baby in the tank. Do they breed true most of the time?

Thanks

I think Black Cherries are just really good sakura grade Choc cherries.

Hmmmm. I think brown is brown and black is black. Do blacks breed true? Dont know. There are a few threads from guys and gals who were linebreeding them so hopefully one of them can answer.

One of my friend has a few of them for some time and as far as I know they are breeding true, have plans to introduce them to my blue neos.

I have high grade blacks and high grade Chocs, two different things. One is black, one is brown. Both have solid she'll colour and some leg colour. And yes they breed true, not 100% through.

Most line breeding is at the stage where black breed true and chocs breed true.

Their is two types of blue, one comes from blacks the other from red Rilli.

I haven't heard the name black rose before, that may be a name that was made up to make them seem like they are worth more.

Here's a pic of one of my blacks.

Can't rally give you a percentage as I wasn't breeding them. I threw them in with my tank of yellows to see what would happen. Got some nice wilds out, some had dark shades of green. Would have been good to breed that green out if I had the time.

would have loved to see pictures of the dark green, don't suppose you'd still have some floating about?

From my personal experience the best blacks have a blue underbased with no chocolate at all. Takes a lot of line breeding to get there

      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

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
