  1. Evening Guys, I had a shipment (small one) arrive today, but the sender has mixed my King Kongs and Black Pintos in the same bag. Is there an easy tell tale as to which is which? (rather small juvies) These are my first bee's and really wanted to keep things separate for now. Thanks in advance.
  2. Hey SKFrs, I'm creating this thread in the hope that it gets a lot of input and brings a serious subject to the forefront of our attention so we can all learn from each other. In short; I'd like to know what people's processes are for culling weakest and selecting the best shrimps. I can say honestly when I first kept shrimp I barely culled whatsoever, and that gradually I am culling more and more strictly.. I can think of a few reasons why/how I've been heading in this direction. Some of these questions might only apply to breeders who have been selecting shrimp for several years while others may be relevant to people newer to shrimps; in any case some of the key points I'd love to get people talking about include - (in no particular order) What numbers of mature shrimp do you like to keep in a colony? At what size do you cull males and/or females? What do you do with your culls; do you kill/feed the worst of the worst or give them away or sell them very cheaply? What do you do with your culls? Do you partition of your tanks or use breeding boxes to keep your best males and females breeding while your main colony matures? Do you introduce new genetics and if so how often and would they preferably be males? or females perhaps? What differences do you think apply when choosing your best males or females for solid neos vs rilis vs different pattern bees vs TB etc etc you get the idea.... Has anyone found any clear proof of what traits males or females are specifically more likely to pass on in different shrimps? OK That was a lot !!! I hope I haven't put you all by raising so many items of discussion but I hope someone can address at least one of these and get the ball rolling :-) love n peace will
  3. Hi New to this forum, I have read huge numbers of posts and have found excellent information available, all in one area has made it enjoyable rather than trawling through 1000's internet pages looking for specific info. I have never kept shrimps ( have kept tropical fish in various types for many years ) before but I am about to , I have all the gear ready to go but am moving house in a few weeks so waiting until then to get stuck in. I have seen a number of excellent posts on genetics from JayC - I used to keep and show budgies many years ago and the mendel theory bit ties in nicely with the budgie genetics which I was quite au fait with , budgie genetics and breeding results are quite quantifiable , there are many tables for reference for colour / pattern breeding results. It seems however with shrimp it seems a little bit hit n miss regarding outcomes ( I may be very wrong here but just seems that way, from reading answers to various questions I have found being asked).It just seems the breeding results from various Xings usually produces a reply with " well it just depends " Now moving on to the title question / s ..... do King Kong shrimp breed true? Does black X black always = black - same for red X red and yellow X yellow. Also mixing the colours - I've read somewhere that black is dominant to red but the red can be carried in split form , where does the yellow form stand in this is it recessive to both black and red ? I have noticed there are various patterns in KK ( extreme - with the tip of the tail white against a solid main colour ) but also some with bands on them, are these actual recognised patterns or are they just better / worse grades ? If they are recognised patterns - do the patterns breed true also ? Which shrimp are required to breed KK's without using a KK as a parent? Finally slightly off subject 'mischlings' - reverting back to the budgie genetics, all crossings no matter how complex produce a named variety / colour even if it is a very poor version - it has a name. With mischlings it seems to be just classed as crossbreeds - is this because the young are so diverse in colour pattern and type it is not possible to give it a name or ? Sorry for not placing this in the correct section but I don't have enough knowledge to know where it would belong lol. Also appologise for the many Q's within a Question and maybe not set out very tidily. I have many other questions regarding breeding outcomes etc but will try to keep the posts at a good space between them so as not to bombard and annoy folks. Thanks M.
  4. I'm starting a brand new #neomix tank. I won't be adding or taking out any shrimp, just documenting developments along the way. I'm interested to see if any new variants develop, and what the tendency towards brown is. I'll be sharing updates on my channel if you are interested in following along. Enjoy! #shrimptv
