Hey, thanks for checking out the thread & I'm working on that. The main hold up is they're still very tiny Ron. On getting some, TGOE has a colony & I totally recommend you reach out to him.

But keep us updated with your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangiegirl Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Wondering if any more updates since the last one in July? Curious because I added 10 stardust a couple of weeks ago (all juvies) and I was just a bit underwhelmed. Now feeling more comfortable about waiting to see what I have as they mature. I went back and looked at the video of the colony mine came from and paid special attention to the peewees & juvies. They look just as mine do.

Tibee Inc Posted December 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Well everybody I apologize...… Since my last posts, I ran into some real bumps with the project see below. :( Actually, these pics make it look good compared to how bad it got. This lasted for atleast 3 months & caused by diatoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibee Inc Posted December 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Moving on, things have cleared up & the main colony continues to grow. Personally, I think Stardust are a very hardy shrimp & keep easy. With that said, I ran into some more issues trying to Xbreed these guys. So far, it'll take me at minimum a year+ to get any strong variation in the offspring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibee Inc Posted December 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Ending on a positive note, my Aura Tiger colony has established itself quite well & are breeding well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting with the Fancy Tiger, just didn't see anything that tickled her fancy? Or maybe the slight change in water parameters from tank to tank made her molt. Wyzazz, here's that girl we were talking about. Going off thread here, but its worth mentioning my Fancy Tigers breed true now & throw some very nice offspring too. Once again, I want to mention that members can find some great shrimp, supplies & knowledgeable people right here on Shrimp Spot. Finally, remember these projects take years to stabilize & accomplish. It never happens in just a few generations.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Looking good Man! Here is where I am at with my Stardust project, I'm getting some nice blue tints out of the juvies now after culling for a few generations!

Do you have any input on how to bring out the sparkling more on these guys? Also, I see you got snails living with them too. What's your parameters? When I get a chance, I'll post my current parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get a chance, I'll post my current parameters. I'm actually not completely sure what brings out the sparkling more, I think it's really just older, more mature shrimp that get it. I've got Ramshorns and MTS in all of my tanks. I'm at pH 6.3, gH 4-5, kH 0-1, TDS 132. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibee Inc Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hey, sorry Wyzazz for falling off the thread but had a number of issues come up.

Tibee Inc Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hello all, just wanted to update the thread. Here's a few shots below of the colony in a mob feeding frenzy.
