Hiatus Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I want to start a new neo tank. I really just want a tank full of the different colors. I have read that both Blue Diamonds and Chocolates throw multiple colors. What do you think would be best to start with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANBU Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Blue Diamond throws a bunch of different colors Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have Chocolates and they do throw mulitple shades. I have some reddish browns, light brown, dark brown, light almost gray. But seems they are all shades of red, brown or gray not very exciting color wise but still pretty neat. I have one juvie with a light grayish brown head and an almost completely clear tail.

OblongShrimp Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 My blue diamonds throw dark blue (almost black), blue, dark brown, light brown, and dark red. Let me know if you go that route, I can give you a good price on "culls" (browns and reds with a few blues I am trying to remove from my colony) Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 For bold rainbows of colors, BD is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilguppy Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 If BD throw red. That red throw blue? red? Or brown? Thank you. Yes, i want multiple color as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 The genes are pretty mixed up, so BD x BD will throw random colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreeflow Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Caridina babaulti is a seriously underrated shrimp. They are caridina so you can keep them with BD. Babaulti throw light green, dark green, orange, brown, maroon, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 My husbandry on babaulti would probably be different now, however I eventually sold them off years ago because they were breeding s-l-o-w-l-y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreeflow Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 They do breed slow and have very tiny shrimplets but they carry a LOT of eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
