New types of shrimp appeared

Well of course from overseas :slaphead:

Bouse shrimp introduced new types of shrimps recently called "Nanashi"

[ATTACH]6359[/ATTACH]

The price is in Japanese Yen, while AU$1 equals to 92 Yen, which makes the high graded Nanashi shrimps priced over $8000 each! Shhhhhhh....

Low grade Nanashi shrimp

While Bouse shrimp says that he developed Nanashi shrimp with his friend breeder, my source who is a overseas breeder told me that Nanashi shrimp is soley developed by Elegant Lady, the Taiwanese shrimp breeder.

He sent me one photos of Elegant Lady's shrimp still in the process.

I almost fainted when I saw this photo!

Elegant Lady's such a monster!!!

White mouth, brownish head, red base body with zebra typed white lines and black lines?

I couldn't even imagine this shrimp even in dreams!

[ATTACH]6358[/ATTACH]

Less shock but still a monster here!

Can't even tell what this little guy is.

I know we are far behind compared to overseas breeders, but I also know we are working hard on shrimps!

Lets keep up the good works and step ahead! Hooray!

Thanks for sharing the info/pics....very cool, and great to keep in touch with overseas trends/direction.

Interestingly noted the "clear" caridina's on the background of the elegant lady shrimp...mmmm:Scratch-Head:

Beautiful, I like the low grade Nanashi :blowkiss:, I am a sucker for dark blue shrimp, but sadly no blues grace my tanks

Perhaps the clear caridina in the background of big mamma are snowballs? Or something along those lines.

the one above it is a tibee, i have one that looks exactly the same, it's similar to a snow white but pale

the one in the background is just a blonde tiger

honestly, imo they are way overpriced, they are nothing more than tibee i.e mix of twb x tigers x crystal and you get all sorts of patterns

a few hundred yeh that's reasonable for something new but $8k is just absurd imo...

with a bit of time and experimenting anyone with twb, tigers, crystals can get similar patterns

Hahaha, I'd love to see how long it takes you to create one of these with such strong full colour on the body & legs, not as easy as you might think dude. I completely agree that Tibees are easy to create interesting patterns, but to get the colour of these takes many generations of crossing back to the parents & selecting maybe one or two from each generation & then waiting four months for the drop next possibilities, of which there may be none good enough to continue the direction you want to go. :encouragement:

I thought that too, but Bouse shrimp posted on his blog that people buy like 10-20 of those at once.

Seriously, the world I can never imagine!

Man I find that extremely hard to believe...80,000?!? I don't know how people can afford it! :O but on another hand these shrimp are spectacular. Although my favorite is still a pinto zebra which is very very similar. So my question is this.... What makes this shrimp a nanashi shrimp? Is it the pattern on the head? Is there a description online? Just curious

Nanashi means 'nameless' or no name in Japanese.

So I doubt there is any distinctive characteristic that defines what a Nanashi shrimp is.

There seems to be some commonality with the patterns. They all have that white Tiger like stripe.

Nop Gbang it's $8000, not $80,000, although it's still extreme price :P

However as jayc mentioned nanashi stands for nameless in Japanese.

They look similar to Zeb pintos and we never know what's the difference!

It's them who named them as nanashi and priced that high :P

Let's say it's all up to hem haha

Nonono. $80' date='000 for 10. I'm thinkin in that category when the breeder claims people buy in lots of 10.[/quote']

You're right! $80,000 or $160,000 for 20!

Well, maybe they think it's investment for bigger money :hiya:

Breed them and sell them!

Though I assume the price will drop within few months lol

To be honest. And this is my opinion. I personally feel that these guys, while extremely beautiful and of amazing quality!!! Are too similar to pintos. I personally couldn't substantiate the price. Especially when the line is meant to be called nameless..... Which can lead to other people breeding other variated patterned shrimp and just calling theirs nameless but in mandarin or German... Or maybe I just don't like the name cause I'm like its not nameless!!! What is it?!? Lol

      Update to say that after a few gravel vacs, front wall scrub, moss / floating plant trim, that the condition seems to have improved.  My current theory is that it is due to waste / debris management, where "stuff" like that brown mulm accumulates in the substrate and behind the HMF filters.  Maybe some tanks can somehow deal with it, but mine can't.  Also another experienced shrimper suggested that maybe those "shell bugs" don't just live on the shrimps but also in this debris.  Maybe this is the reason some tanks fail due to "old tank syndrome" where all they need is a good gravel vac? Also, I am guessing that plant trim helps too because now more of the nutrients and light go into growing algae instead of more plants? Well anyway for this tank I will try weekly water change and monthly gravel vac / plant trim.  For my next tank, I'm thinking of something like an under-gravel system where this mulm can fall down and I vac it out.

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony.

      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
