Thanks Buck

Super happy with the bbs i got man. Just trying to work out whether i got a female or not. I especially looking forward for the super blue one to breed. Just trying to be patient while they get to breeding size.

Yeah really happy with the new tank. Out of the 50 or so shrimp to go in in the last couple 4 days there have been at least 15 molts and now 2 berried shrimp. I like to think that means everything is going well.

Quick update. 

I did a big boo boo and didnt set up the timer on my light for  the tank properly. I ended up leaving the light for the whole day making the tank temp go above 26 degrees. I managed to get the temperature back to normal over a few days but i lost 4 crs and a couple of gbs. My bbs lost a lot of colour too. It seems everything is ok now.

Good news is the prl i got off JP hatched her shrimplets. I also managed to breed a crs to the male prl. 

These guys are about 2 or 3 days old. I have counted 5 but maybe more. I will be taking out the normal crs and leaving the prls.

Another update.

Section 1.

I have moved all the CRS out and left the PRL and Red Cherry.

Some close ups of the juvies.

 

Section 2.

Blue Bolts and Chocolates. I used to have blue velvets but moved them out and moved the chocolates in.

Really enjoying these chocolates.

I will add third section picture later. :D

Section 3

Tibees and red rili. I will be taking out the tibees and moving in some pintos, tatibees and tb with pinto genes.

My red rili and tibees.

I have been working very hard on my rilis and i believe they are looking quite good. Just continuing to try get them even better.

My tibees where getting there but love the different patterns.

 

[buck]

those rilis are mint dude! its been a while since ive seen such good looking rilis!

Thanks Buck. You are too kind.

I have been culling hard but there is still a way to go but I feel like I am getting there. Need those nice red legs to be more consistant. Also the % of shrimplets like the parents is too low for my liking. Lastly I want to get the blue body back but whenever it shows up its the red on the head is not what I want. So back to the lab again.

[Disciple]

This is a new addition I got on the weekend. Dont tell my wife.

I hope he will help improve the future generations in section one. I had to twist the sellers arm into making him availiable unfortunately my photography equipment and skills do not do him justice. I also believe he is still acclimatizing to the new tank but very happy with the colour.

Nice red sexy legs! :)

[Disciple]

Nice red sexy legs! :)

Awww yea. The coolest thing is the little claws at the front are white. Hopefully over the next week the legs will colour back to solid red and white.

[Disciple]

Just wanted to update the journal since its been awhile. I will start with section one.

So my little gamble paid off and i managed to get 5 females berried from the male I purchased above. Looking forward to seeing the results.

The red cherries i keep in this section have not gone to plan. Instead of improving the red cherries i put in there it seems they are getting worse lol fml. Will cull the baddies and continue the journey. Might cull the colony and start with some better stock. Hint hint @Gbang.

Fingers crossed I will have a population explosion in the next few weeks. Still a long way to go until i can match @ineke or @newbreed but i can dream.

Every night when I start shrimp staring at this tank I cross all my fingers and toes. I pray to the shrimp gods to make it happen!

Looking great @Disciple

Thanks Larry.

[newbreed]

@Disciple. You will easily beat me in quality versus quantity stakes mate!! These are some lovey lovely shrimp!!!

[ineke]

LOL Newbreed just beat me- the quality of your CRS far out ways mine. I have just left mine to breed with no regard to quality . Now I must put in the hard work and start culling and selective breeding. The colours on your CRS just pops. Well done. Your Rilis are excellent too -I'm pretty harsh about the quality of Rilis as they were one of my special projects. Well done.

Thanks ‌@newbreed. I am sure you have good ones hidden in your rack somewhere. If not I have no doubt you'll end up with some better then mine.

I take it as a great compliment from you about my rili's.  I remember your great rili's and my aim is to get this colony to come close to those. Thank you very much.

Still a lot of work to do.

[OzShrimp]

I thought i was developing some nice CRS, damn you got some great quality ones going off there!
