jumpsmasher Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 My Black Tiger Shrimps have always been one of the favourite species in my collection; they breed true unlike Orange Eye Blue Tiger (OEBT) shrimps and since mine has some Royal Blue Tiger genes in them most of them has a nice blue sheer when view against the light. Another reason why they are one of favourites is the females that i have left are some of oldest and largest dwarf shrimps in my collection. My "Big Mamma" as I like to call her is around 3.5-4cm and even my oldest male is 3+ cm. They are generally quite shy and too active to get a good shot but last night after I fed them, they were quite social and hung around in the open for a bit so I grabbed my camera and decided to try my hands at shooting some video. Enjoy the shrimp porn!

DETAquarium Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Good Looking BTOE shrimp. I enjoyed the videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks for sharing. The quality of the video is superb !! The 2nd video shows a white band on the tail, I thought that was an extreme BKK for a second. But in the video it looks like it's just the reflection.

Doc4PC2 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Wow! Those are awesome! Great Video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbarbee54 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Did i send those to you by chance. I have a couple people in Canada that I have sent a bunch of those to..... I actually just reduced my BTOE colony down to 12 shrimp on my last shipment to a guy that flies in from Brazil. Now I can move them and start over and build them back up to the maybe 1200 I had at one point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 nice video!!! my royal blue culls i got from tanner look black as those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks all, even with the newer extreme BKK and Black neo's the BTOE remais one of my favourite of the "black" shrimps. Did i send those to you by chance. I have a couple people in Canada that I have sent a bunch of those to..... I actually just reduced my BTOE colony down to 12 shrimp on my last shipment to a guy that flies in from Brazil. Now I can move them and start over and build them back up to the maybe 1200 I had at one point I got mine from Alpha Pro breeders a couple years ago but they haven't really fldone much until a few months ago. I have around 60+ juvies now and more coming. For me having royal blue genes is a good and bad thing; i do get a lot of royal blue offsprings although I don't really consider them as such unless they stay a lighter shade. I won't mind getting a non-royal blue black tiger line to compare..if I had the tank to spare. I heard something is doing an order from Michael Nadal, eh Randy?

Sbarbee54 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Really, I have had red tigers around 1000, heck my fire red/ pfr I had maybe 2000 at one point you could barley see the bottom of a 30 gallon tank. Heck before my mass sell off in my TB and F1 mischling tank I probably had 1100+ I have sold 800 Mischlings and still have tons left and at least 200-300TB in it. My Pumpkins are around 800 right now if not more. But I have a order for 500 I am going to be filling in a month miwu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukendabears Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I have thousands of oebt in my 55 gallon, and thats with selling hundreds a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 under good conditions and given enough space, I imagine that it shouldn't take to long to get you population up to the thousands. 10 -> 100 --> 500+ They increase exponentially if you get a large colony going.. My PRL's are getting up there maybe not 1000 yet but at least 500+ but i have separated into smaller tanks. I am waiting for the day when I put them in a 75 Gal with a chiller and let them do their thing : ) randy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've decided Royal Blue Tigers are going to be my next shrimp (someday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
