MY adult shrimp have been dying after giving birth. I only have many baby shrimp. Water Parameters: GH 120 ppm (well water) KH 120 ppm (well water) Ph 7.5 NO 2 0.5 NO 3 2.0 Temperature 73 degrees F. Standard black and white gravel Snails- adults the size of a fingertip Miniature white spiral snails Red Sakura Tangerine Tiger Gold Yellow Blue Dream To my knowledge most babies survive: Some red Some red with a prominent red stripe on back similar to Gold Yellow Some red and clear stripped Some clear I had two blue babies that have disappeared. Planted tank: Hornwort Guppie grass Cryptocoroyne wenditi Dwarf Onion Aponogeton Ulvaceus Sponge filter Warm white and daylight lighting No Tropical Fish Light feeding every other day. ( I keep the snail population down to the point that they do not compete with shrimp for food.) Quote

I see there were a couple of people from Australia who were lucky enough to see a purple shrimp in their tanks. Does anyone else have purples in their tanks? I would love to find some and I wouldn’t be averse to dropping a mix into my tank in hopes of possibly getting purple shrimplets. Is it the chocolates and blues that combine for a purple?
