Interesting accent, 

Lekker accent there, Van ! Why do you choose to keep all your neo types together ? In a couple of generations or sooner their colour is going to look average as they start reverting back to their wilder drab genes which is already happening here. Your shrimp look spoilt rotten with being taken to a new restaurant every day :).  Don't worry too much about tape measures as long as you do not overfeed, the shrimp are not fussy and being scavengers will eat what they can get, no problem leaving them for a couple of days or more. They would also enjoy some ordinary garden leaves in addition to catappa which can get expensive if you are not from the tropics, just do the research which ones are harmful. Oak, guava, mulberry, stinging nettle, wild banana to name a few should be easy for you.

You used the word "Lekker". Its an Afrikaans word which is my first language. English is my second... I'm from South Africa.

 

I keep one neo tank togerther as those were the shrimp from my fist big cul. I culled them about a year ago and even then there were shrimp that looked like they came from a natural stream (wild). Now I sell my culled stock which I put alone in a separate tank. Out of the 9 Neo colors I have. I still like the mixed tank the most...

 

The video with the tape measure is just to show the noobs how much to feed and not to overfeed. Obviously I don't measure it myself as I have been feeding for 3 years.

 

Mulberry is easy to find here. The rest is not.. So thx, will keep a look out and see what I can find.

 

Thx for the help!

Hi Maurice. Yes, the Hikari shrimp cuisine in the video I got in JHB. There are allot more that you can choose from. Every time I have been there they are sold out. I will get some other brands when I come down to JHB/PTA or order some from Aqua Empire. When I start with the Cardinia specie, I will only use specialized food and leaves.
