Ive moved my tanks around a little to open up the front area and while i was moving stuff around found my 3 lady blue bolts chilling out faning there berries! I knew atleast one was berried a few weeks ago but and i found the anouther not long after but now all three of them are up the duff it wont be long untill i have a swarm baby blues 

[Disciple]

Grats man. Love how blue they get when they are berried

[buck]

Cheers @Disciple ive been neglecting them lately and its paying off haha 

[al4n]

Going nicely, cool update

[buck]

A collection of things i use in my shrimp tanks and scapes. 

[buck]

Rachet as pics but i finally found some baby togers in the oebt tank and 2 of the big gals are heavily berried again! 

[buck]

finally spotted a baby in the blue bolt tank! it was at the very back but looked like a blue bolt! 

[buck]

my crs tank is close to needing a cull, I've wanted to have a tank like this since i started looking in to shrimp. Crs every where! Haha 

[Disciple]

You need to just get a bigger tank.

[buck]

if the quality was there i'd agree with you but there are lots that aren't up to my color standards. i culled 3 males (as a start) from this tank and 3 blond tiger males from the orange eye tank. i have some pics on the dslr that i need to get off now that i think about it!. i found a nice dark baby tiger as well when i was watching them   

 

I've seen a prl/crs pair that has prompted me to put my breeding box's to use! so ill be isolating them soon to hopefully produce some nice bubs, the only issue is shes dropped heaps of eggs from the last couple of times berried. 

[Disciple]

Awesome news!

cant wait to see them.

[buck]

[Disciple]

Awesome man. Some nice Oebt's but cant see the orange eyes?

[newbreed]

The CRS colony looks brilliant! Culling ain't easy but so beneficial in the long run! Good you've already identified some candidates!

[OzShrimp]

Your CRS are looking alot like my tank atm! Shrimplets everywhere lol. I been neglecting my tank to and been thinking they wouldnt be breeding as i never see them berried but like clockwork always shrimplets in the tank!.

Not good when i have to pull the tank down in 6 weeks! i dread trying to catch them and am anticipating alot will be unintentially culled with the tank drained lol

Thanks mate! Yeah, its going to be tough, i love seeing it so full of shrimp. 

[buck]

ok soo here she is in all her glory!

wast flows in to the filter sock-> then up and over the marine pure spheres ->in to the k1 chamber-> tumble tumble tumble and out the other side to a currently empty chamber that I intend to use for random bags of media when I need to add them, carbon, chemipure that kid of thing. Then though to the return pump! 

I haven't put the chiller in yet because it's still cycling. 

 

great video of the sump. I'm looking into this as a reverse of your system, where the sump is my rack for breeding projects from a main display shrimp tank. I've gotta come up with a way to keep 3 dividers within the sump and still have room for media etc and keep shrimp contained (no jailbreaks)

 

1200x45x45 planned size os sump.

Got some bloody marys and pandas recently, the rest of the rack is still chugging along same old. Tigers are producing lots of blonds ill need to cull out soon 

[buck]

I finaly got some pogo helferi for my little octagon and there was left overs so i added them to the crs tank to grow out. 

The bloody marys i got recently are going well with one already berried! 

The crs love some blanched spinach.
