Something to worry about or something to develop?

Staring at my Black cherry shrimp colony this morning I noticed this girl with vibrant red tail. Is she something to worry about (disease wise) or a colour morph worth exploring/ developing. She sort of reminds me of a Red Tailed Black Cockatoo. Sorry for the lousy pictures but she would not settle down in the temp holding trap for the photo shoot.

Trying to add pictures but it keeps giving me messages about being to big even after resizing.

Keeps telling me I can only upload 20.48kb

Hi,

I replied to your support ticket. Essentially, regular members get a total of 10MB of storage, subscription members get unlimited. I've bumped up the regular member from 10MB to 15MB. The reason for keeping the storage quota in place is because we pay per MB stored.

Cheers,

Nogi

If I'm not wrong, Black cherries do not breed true. Expect some blue diamond or bloody mary in the offsprings. That might explain your black with red tail ;)

I think I can finally add some pictures of the female in question. Sorry they aren't very Redblack4.thumb.JPG.785d6644e707590a3d666393f10cf72b.JPGclear but she would not sit still.

Wow. That's very unusual and beautiful to look at. The contrast of jet black and neon red.

I hope it's not disease.  Note if the red spreads further or not.

So far I ended up releasing her back into the main tank since I have no idea the best male to put with her, but I will be keeping a close eye out for any more redtailed blacks. Personally I think they would make a very stunning addition to a tank with the flash of vibrant red.

I haven't seen any more but the tank is over grown and teeming with black shrimp. I might get a chance to shrimp gaze this weekend and might even see some more.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
