Soothing Shrimp Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm guessing the red and black is really extreme dragon markings. (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I believe the red shrimp is just a hino wine red with some nice white coloration on it. The lighting makes it look black in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayphly Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well I just wanted to post an update to my pinto project. I know it's been a while. This girl became berried on March 1. I haven't a clue to who the father is. There are two other male tibees in the tank as well. I'm hoping it was a TB that got to her. Either way it's pretty exciting stuff!

mayphly Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 This morning I found another tibee full of eggs. Originally I thought this one was a male since it is a bit smaller than the one pictured above. I'll try and get some pics of it later today.

eozen81 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Wonderful shots mayphly, may I kindly ask how you use breeder box? I mean how do you see that a female is ready to get laid and take a proper male and put them into breeder box? mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 If a female mischling becomes berried then I remove her from the main tank and place her in the breeder box. It makes separating the mischlings from the TB easier after they're born. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thank you for prompt reply, so you make the female give birth in the breeder box, am i right? How big is this breeder box, some say shrimps can get stressed easily in the breeder boxes which makes me hesitated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm using a medium Marina breeder box which is 6.5"L x 5"H x 3.5"W on my 7g tank. My shrimp don't appear stressed while in there. Perhaps some people have experienced a first time berried shrimp dropping her eggs in the box. I keep the box running 24/7 to insure there is enough biofilm for the babies when they are born.

RyeGuy411 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I use the same set up Andy medium box and always keep it running. My adult shrimp dont like it much but then again I only put them in when the males are freaking out. She tries to get away and the male is all over her and theres no place for her to really go. I might try putting my Pinto in there when she has her babies to keep them separate and see what I get out of her. mayphly and eozen81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
