Update for section 2.

The chocolates are going well. They are breeding and looking good. The shrimplets are mixed grade so need to continue to cull.

My blue bolts are doing well. Last update i had 2 females and one male. A couple of weeks ago one female gave birth to 8 shrimplets and all 8 were bb's. The female is now reberried then other is due very soon.

I cant wait for this colony to take off. Fingers crossed they are breeding true.

Wow Disciple, your tank setup is awesome, I love those blue bolts, hopefully those 8 shrimplets grow up quickly and start having shrimplets of their own.  

[Disciple]

Thanks man I hope so too

[buck]

Such a testament to the idea of starting with good blood lines!

Those blue bolts are inspirational!

Keep up the good work mate! 

[Disciple]

Yeah i always try to buy the best i can afford. Also ask as many questions about the genetics and parents as you can.

At the very least find the reputable breeders instead of the cheapest. Sometime the most reputable end up being the cheapest. If not its still worth the extra bucks.

Update for section 3.

I continue to breed my red rili's and cull any that do not show the colour or pattern i want. Nothing new to report the % of culls is still too high. I believe the culling will pay off in a couple of generations. Only time will tell.

I have moved my pintos, the pintos i won from auction, some tbms i had with my mischling into this tank. Was planning on moving the tibees i current have in there out this weekend.

Unfortunately this morning i found a berried pinto. Whoops dont know who the father is. Oh well.

For some reason the front of the glass is really dirty in this section and it made it hard to focus in the shrimp so please excuse my pictures.

[buck]

 feel like its time for more pics!

Thanks for the reminder @buck.

Ok update section 1.

I have culled most of the second shrimplets from my second generation to hatch in this section. The 1 or 2 of the 6 berried females have started hatching shrimplets.

Also bought my self another stud male i will miss my left kidney but my doctor told you can live with one.

Ok hope you enjoy the pictures.

my new stud, best by far.

one of the best females, there is one or two better but they did want to pose. Contemplating getting a tank for them.

you can see some of the new shrimplets.

Happy BUCK!??!

Ok update for section 2.

My dreams of a tank full of Blue Bolts is coming true. So far every shrimplet born in this section is a BB.

Oh yeah my chocolates are doing quite well too.

Section 3

I have sold most of the tibees & tatibees and tatibee mischlings. I want to concentrate on the pintos. I did realise how many shrimplets and juvies were hiding case it still seems like i have a lot.

My red rili are also doing well. Will have to start culling some soon.

Aww man i love those bluebolts, all the shrimp are looking great though.

I really really like how you have those dividers allowing diferent levels of substrate. I know the front one is to allow cleaning of the food but whats was the thought behind having a 3rd part done? 

Are the dividers removable or are they permanently attached?

I think they are cool too. If you ever want a few pm me.

The 3rd area was suppose to be for Under Gravel Filters but I changes my mind and didn't use them. The dividers are glued in.

[OzShrimp]

are they custom made, adjustable or made to fit ?

[Disciple]

‌@OzShrimp

The dividers were custom made to fit.

The UGF are adjustable. Actually I planned this tank around them haha.

[Disciple]

Just some blue bolt picture since its monday.

[Disciple]

Update time.

My first section holds my Prl's and happy to say they are going great. I have recently been given a new food to try and the shrimp swarmed so i took some pictures. 

[Disciple]

My second section which hold my bb's and chocolates also seem to love the food too.

[neo-2FX]

Incredible!
