Hi shrimplovers!
 
The other topic with all the pictures was getting kind of long so I post it in a new topic if you don't mind.
I did my best to catch the best shrimp of this contest on video again. Enjoy, hope you like it. Feel free to share this video and spread the shrimp faith! :wink:

Very nice video you have put together there mate.

Some of those shrimp absolutely stunning.

Now I'm going to watch it again 8-)

Which are Mario's and Marcus's shrimps?

Unfortunately the Crystal Red and Black are the most difficult to film with a simple camcorder. A small bright shrimp on a dark background, hard to handle contrast. So believe me if I say they look much better in real life.

 

But to answer your question:

Marcus Hafermann, first place group 6 with Crystal Red: 5:05 - 5:14

Mario Portera, second place group 6 with Crystal Red: 5:15- 5:20

Marcus Hafermann, thirdplace group 6 with Crystal Black: 4:57 - 5:01

 

But I have to be honest, I'm not sure if this is Mario's winning group or the second group that end up in the video. I had so many shots, that I kind of lost track :wink:. I know for sure the nr 1 and nr 3 because I taped the name on the tank, but with Mario's shrimp I forgot. If I recal correct, this shot is his second group. And the group that won second price is not in the video. I have some shots of them I believe, but they were not clear so they did not end up in the video. Next time I will try to tape the winners more precise. But don't be sad, I know for sure some nice pictures will come soon. I saw many photographers with big equipment, so there should be good pictures for sure.

 

edit: on their website they state: "The half of the team has catch a cold after the show now. That is the reason, why we will publish the resukts in detail next week.". So be patient :D.

Thanks. :)

 

Hmmm... So Marcus breed those slender PRL. I prefers those round type like Mario's shrimp.

 

LOL!!! How come half the team has fallen sick? Too stress out?

 

Maybe next time and if my schedule permits, I could send my shrimp up either for display or competition (I doubt I will win anything. LOL!!!). In this way, I will be able to catch-up with everyone. ^^

 

By any chance, do you know how those APAC folks brought their shrimp there?

Would be fun, see you next year! :wink:

 

As far as I know, they bring them themselves and they send them by mail in a Styrofoam box. At the end of the show, they are shipped back. Believe it or not, but most of them seem to survive this without any trouble. I know Mario has shrimp that traveled all across Europe, not much shrimp can say that on a party :D.

I think carrying over is more reliable. Hmmm..... Maybe will do that next year. :D

BTW, the awesome white Snow Whites of Marcus Hafermann you see in the video, has won the Dennerle € 1000,- price. I feel they deserve it. Must have been a long road to achive these results.

      Update to say that after a few gravel vacs, front wall scrub, moss / floating plant trim, that the condition seems to have improved.  My current theory is that it is due to waste / debris management, where "stuff" like that brown mulm accumulates in the substrate and behind the HMF filters.  Maybe some tanks can somehow deal with it, but mine can't.  Also another experienced shrimper suggested that maybe those "shell bugs" don't just live on the shrimps but also in this debris.  Maybe this is the reason some tanks fail due to "old tank syndrome" where all they need is a good gravel vac? Also, I am guessing that plant trim helps too because now more of the nutrients and light go into growing algae instead of more plants? Well anyway for this tank I will try weekly water change and monthly gravel vac / plant trim.  For my next tank, I'm thinking of something like an under-gravel system where this mulm can fall down and I vac it out.

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony.

      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
