Soothing Shrimp Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Well, that's interesting... It looks as though I may have a male yellow shrimp in my yellow tank turning out to be a true yellow rili. mosspearl, High5's, CharlesWex and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Oh nice! I haven't heard much on the rili front since red rilis, but a true yellow rili is an exciting development. Got pix? [emoji39] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'll try to get some pics. Rili sort of fell out of favor when people learned constant culling is involved for them to keep the classic look. Interestingly enough, there's a group of people that like the splotched look which makes some variety in the tank and keeps all shrimp from being only one solid color. countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Looks like I'll have to make some room. All yellow rilis I have seen advertised are really orange rilis with poor color. I'm as shocked as all get-out I have a real one! The hard part will be breeding it out. Usually the fems carry the coloring in neos. We'll see what happens. I'll probably pick 2-3 fems plus him in a new tank. fishyd and randy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 That would awesome with some rcs, how fast do rilis reproduce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I never remember anything, so I just use the rules of 3. Berried for 3 weeks, reproduce after 3 months. Not totally accurate, but accurate enough for me to remember. LOL I found another male yellow rili I think, however I just placed the one with 2 fems in a 10g. The modifiers may fall into place more quickly with a limited P1 structure. I also selected some nicely colored yellow fems, so if I get any rili in f1, hopefully the color areas will be bold and not faint. --- Aquariumlover10, RR already exist. I have some fro my BBRR project I can sell to you if you'd like. High5's and randy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Haha, ok. Oh, na, I want some sakura rcs, but I can't setup another tank over 2?5g until I move, so pic shrimp tank here I come I am getting stuff for it for christmas.

DETAquarium Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Wow Soothing, definitely need to breed that gene out!! Keep us updated if it stays as is. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Will do. I'll keep updating as I go along. Normally people have a preference between neon stripe or not. I think you'd *want* the stripe on this to help see the clear breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Found a yellow rili fem in the tank (this comes from my Sunshines BTW), but debating on whether to use her or not for the rili project. The yellow isn't rili-ish, but more splotched and very light, making the splotching hard to see. Plus no stripe. I want to add nice bold color and am afraid if I add her the color may take a step backwards. Then again, I may add her anyway with the understanding I can always cull the bad coloration....decisions decisions... alibird and mayphly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesseter Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I say go for it. just separate her after she's knocked up and see what the offspring look like in a grow out tank. Sometimes going backwards is the only way to go forward. That may be flawed logic, but I think you get my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christinenha Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Is a rili just a neocaridina with clear patches instead of solid coloration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Classic Rili pretty much means the clear middle. (Skeleton in CRS) It involves some regular culling. Splotched means random patches. Very little culling involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I love the yellow one! I finally started my blue dream project. Well ill have to personalize the name as time goes on and I get some results. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treefisher Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I had 5+ yellow rilis appear in my yellow neo tank. I was going to try and breed them out, and then my entire stock died within a week. I never did figure out what happened to them... Hopefully you can get a good yellow rili colony going. Good luck with 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just a matter of continual culling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
