Last year my tangerine colony started showing a few yellows. I did a search of overseas forums and found them mentioned there too under Caradinas Serrarata Fire Yellow. I decided to try and breed just yellows and started off with a nice trio. I now have a good size colony of yellows and find they breed almost 100% true with only 1 tangerine showing up over several generations. I'm not sure where I will go with these as I still prefer my other shrimp so will probably pass them on to someone else to continue with them. n

Like this one?

Hi everybody, even though im pretty new to this hobby i am in love with these little invertebrates. I would like to see all of your lines or any photos of your current stock would suffice. Currently i am at day 3 of cycle, i know i just started but cant wait till it's fully cycled. I would also like to know if there is anybody who have some for sale by the time my tank is ready. Thanks in advance! Attached is photo of my Dennerle 10g shrimp tank day 3 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Thank you guys very much for the advice, i really appreciate it. I don't know how it survived the delivery and i guess my tank was acting like an egg tumbler with the suface agitation and bubbles it created. Ill try to keep him away from the bad colors neo to prevent WT. if this guy is blue i'll name him optimus prime :) ill keep an update on this little guy! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

here's a decent shot from my phone of my BM. Im not really sure if it is but my lfs label them as BMs. The tank lighting sucks, just an old 10g flourescent light bulb. Will get some better pics up once everything is good. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Just my two cents on what I have done: I would recommend it be as dry as a bone, plant sap kills shrimp fast. Wood that is heavy/hardwood works great. Preferably something found in or near a river bed that has already been exposed to water for some time, that way you can rule out plant sap. Then after collecting, high pressure wash or hose it off, boil it for as long as your family can stomach having it in the kitchen to kill whatever is living in the wood and then soak it in a tub of water with Seachem Prime for at least 2 weeks to make sure it is 100 recent shrimp safe. I added some tank water to the tub to colonise it with tank microbes. I have done this with a piece of wood collected near the beach. It might be overkill, but I value my shrimp. Second hand on Gumtree is cheap too ?

If you're going to keep the sections self-contained, solid glass is the best option. But you kinda have to be fairly sure of your plan since re-doing it somewhere down the line would be a big pain. There is a small disadvantage to self-contained sections - you basically end up with 4 smaller tanks that just happen to be stuck to each other and would have to treat the tanks as such: be more aware of potential water quality issues since you won't have as much leeway as with bigger systems. Many many people keep their shrimp in fairly tiny stand-alone tanks with few issues, so it's not a huge deal if you're keeping an eye on it.

Who are you referring to? Id like to see purple neos! And also yellow with red?! I kept a tank of cherries, goldback, and orange Sakura for a while and just sold the whole lot to someone on a different forum. They threw mostly reds and oranges as well as some interesting green neos for a few generations, although they didn't stabilize and just ended up breeding out yellows. You'll notice there are a couple brown shrimp in there. Surprised I had only a few as I added in ransoms when I had them (pearls, velvets, red rilis, Orange rilis, etc)

My 2 main 2 tanks (240litre and 130litre)- moss needs trimming. Sorry for the algae...I promise there are shrimp in there :)

Here's my favorite shot

my shrimp tank

Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey. My Taiwan Bee Shrimp tanks are as followed: 1st one is 45 liters, 2nd one is 80 liters.

Still got some growing to do on the right but getting there

Here's my favourite of my 3 shrimp tanks

Came across this on the internet today:

A pic of my Shrimp Tank.

Just saw this picture.... 3-4g running all these breeders... Now I am thinking about tearing down my 2 foot, and covering it in breeder boxes. Only thing that stops me is the noise of these. There has to be a quieter, and simpler way.

Yummy!

100% sure that's Anubias :)

My low tech with CRS CBS and Yellow cherries :

Gosh, there are so many inspiring tanks here! This is my AquaOne AR980 (215l) at the moment
