TheGardenofEder Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I took got some shrimp from a LPS that look like that it's not a ghost it's like a mix cross of a neo mine just gave me like 30 blur babies I'm hoping they don't grow up to look like their mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGardenofEder Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think it's a wild type neo woopderson and metageologist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Don't know how I missed this post before. Yepper. That's a "wild" neo. The wild genetics are dominant, so unless you want the colony offspring to slowly turn that color, best to cull. metageologist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Definitely wild form of neo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigyant Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Have take out about 8 that are like this now and a couple low grade cherry want to get the best red I can will this be the best way to do this I mean cull the lower grade as I see them and what is the best way to cut them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 That is basicall how you do it. One thing to consider with cherries is the males are less colorful and if you cull too young you might end up with all females. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigyant Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 What would you recommend then leave the larger slightly red males Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Wait untill they are large enough to sex. Then cull the least colored males and females. I had a male that when he was small wasnt red at all as he reached adult size he has pretty good red color. I would have culled him but decided to wait and now he is my only stud shrimp.

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Lots of ways of culling. You can sell off culls, start a new tank of just culls, or continue with the circle of life and feed them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
