Hi there.... I read some interest topic here. I am a plant and shrimp keeper. Im running 12 tanks now. I keep Snowball Crs neocaridina ( yellow, red, orange, blue) Sulawesi dennerli I saw a lot photos. :) My 180lt dutch tank. :) Red cherry , rummynose and bnp. A 10lt with red chery , without filter and heat. Just growing plants. 90lt Sullawesi cardinals 30 lt topaz blue 30 lt crs tank1 30lt crs tank2 30 lt neo Yellows 30lt snowballs 30 lt orange neo And a some videos... Thats all ... :)

So I finally bit the bullet and made a determined effort to sort out my black cherry shrimp. A while ago I removed all the chocolate (really deep dark brown) and yesterday I hunted blues, and any remaining chocolates from the tank. Amazingly I found heaps of Black backed with blue underside Cherry's which I don't plan on putting back with the blacks since they are not full bodied black and also some stunning deep royal blue cherry's. Even tiny shrimplet blues where emerging out of the recesses of the tank as I removed every possible hidey hole during my hunt for shrimp. So here are a couple of shots of the quality of the blues I did remove. The big female wasn't wanting to co-operate for a photo shoot.

Some news ... ? I have 6 berieds.... One king kong , it cross with pinto red. 4 pintos red And one black pinto cross with black pinto . I think that i will go without hybrids, only hybrids i get from those.

Hi all, just an update on how things are progressing. The colour in the juvenile shrimp is holding and are getting close to adulthood, so hopefully it will stay this way as they will be the first adult blue shrimp from this line. In other news some milk chocolate coloured shrimp that i put in a seperate tank, one has almost completely changed colour. The shrimp went from brown with a light brow line down its back to a teal colour with a ligh blue stripe. I guess this further supports what @revolutionhope said in another thread, that adult brown shrimp can change colour as they get older, both from blue to brown and vice versa. Sorry for the bad picture of the "teal" shrimp.

*Update* Not long now, there is nothing else to do except for scape, flood & stock :D New Keg King 2.6kg Co2 Tank & Reg/Solenoid acquired, it won't fit in this stand, but will fit in my next one ;)

A few more pictures...

That's the biggest understatement of the year ? Very nice setup, love to hear your plant exploits here on SKF.
