Hello all hope everyone is well.

Remember iam new to shrimp lol

Question if i were to buy 10 tibees with oebt an panda genes should i keep them seperate and try line breed back to oebt? or do u add mischlinge and line breed from there?

Because i would think it would throw more panda side genes then oebt or do i miss understand the whole thing?

Thanks for any ideas

IME, Tibee crosses won't actually give any offspring that is phenotype of the original parents like mischlings will. Even if you add mischlings to the mix you probably won't get any phenotype OEBT, their genes don't seem to be dominant enough to produce OEBT. In saying that, I have seen some new OEBT variants from this sort of project, like orange eye full red shrimp & orange eye extreme KK. I would suggest letting them breed for a few generations to see if anything interesting pops out & line breed that. :thumbsu:

      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.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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.
