Byron Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I understand from a breeding perspective, keeping Neo's and Caradina's is fine from the stand point of avoiding interbreeding. What I don't understand is which shrimp I can keep together where both shrimp proliferate. For example (from what I've heard), you can keep CRS and RCS together but typically one suffers and doesn't breed well. What shrimp can keep together where they are both happy and breed without issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaj Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I have tried keeping neos with crystal shrimp and taiwan bees, but I never had both species breeding at the same time. Tiger shrimp and Babaulti shrimp are suppose to be better suited to water parameters that neos are comfortable in. I've heard that most species can adapt to different water parameters if they are given time to adapt, even generations. It'd probably be best to track down a breeder or local hobbyist that is already breeding the type of shrimp you want to keep in the same parameters that you can offer.

ohmiko Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I've had snowball breeding same time as CBS. And right now I have my Blue dream, tangerine tiger, and random tibee/Taiwan bee(blue bolt red wine). BD and TT are breeding in water of 6.3ph Byron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you bread those shrimp individually? If so, did you see any noticeable difference in breeding habits/survivability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmiko Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Neos are all the same in my opinion. Babies survived in both regular neo params and acidic, however breeding is just a touch slower. But i do see readily berried neos in neo parameters much more. It's definitely a sacrifice if you want to be space conscious/ efficient. The only sacrifice is time. If you get young neos and acclimate to acidic environment, they will have no problems. Byron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben2820 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 HI GUYS... I HAVE RCS AND YELLOW TANGERINE AND SOME BLUES AND BLACK TIGER IN SAME TANK.... DO I HAVE A PROBLEM??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaus777 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Do you mean problem that you have too many shrimp in the same tank or problem with interbreeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben2820 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Interbreeding...if they interbreed... What offspring will I get?? Is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Are your yellow tangerines actually tangerine tigers? If so they will breed with the other tigers. The crosses there are likely pretty cool looking though it may take a few generations for the cooler patterns to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmiko Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 You have no problem in fact that sounds like a really fun tank! Where did u get your tigers! Ive been searching for ppl to buy from Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolutionhope Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Crystal red and bloody mary breed well for me together in crs water parameters. Tds 130ppm pH 6.4. Lately the bloody mary have been doing much better than the crs in fact although there's a bit of history and moving house which explains why.
