Elo500 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Found this link to a site describing how Mr. Suzuki breed the first Red Crystal Shrimp in 1996 after trying for 3 years with the wild black banded shrimp. There are also excerpts from his breeding logs if you read Japanese. http://www.japan-net.ne.jp/next/red/red*e.html Blue Crown Aquatic Trade, mayphly, ANBU and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elo500 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Gives you perspective on selective breeding. He pulled one red one out pool of thousands of shrimp and after years of trying only to have to wait several generations later to get a few more reds. Seems like you need lots of patience in this hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 This goes to show the time and effort Japanese folks put into their hobby. They're all so passionate about what they do and they don't hesitate to put in a ton of time and energy it takes to perfect something.

RyeGuy411 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 This is really great to hear where it all started. It blows my mind if you think of all the different variations there are today only 18 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
