woopderson Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Will do! There are a few breeders in my area that have them, so acquiring more to up the striped percentage shouldn't be an issue. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Got my livestock! Put in some horned nerites a few days ago and they seem content. 20 yellow neos and 5 caridina babaulti. Lovin the babaulti, what shrimp. They definitely have a funny personality.

woopderson Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 More pics! How can you not love the Caridina babaulti? Can't wait to get more of those! aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Put in some Rotala rotundifolia and Pogostemon helferi. Tank looks nicely planted now! Rodan76 and aquariumlover10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9thdragon Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 nice you dont care about interbreed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 The neos will be left alone, for sure. The two malawa and the single zebra are females, so we shall see what happens. Rest are babaulti greens. Not sure whatnsort of interbreeding to expect, if any at all. Time will tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nice. I thought the babaulti was hard to source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 There are a few folks who carry them in my area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Two neos are berried, and one babaulti is as well! She has turned a really nice colour. Rodan76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Updated! I have some babaulti babies running around now, and some yellow neos about to pop. Look at all them babies! Also got 4 thai micro crabs. Shy, but a nice addition to the tank. Don't mind the male cherry, he was only in there for a few minutes Rodan76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Lots of plant growth! I have eradicated all the hydra in the tank, and the micro crabs survived! TheGardenofEder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Great to hear about the crabs surviving! What did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks! It's really nice looking tank! Congrats on the babies!I am very relieved that they survived. The fenbendazole didn't arrive in time (hydra were expanding quickly), so I ended up grabbing Genchem No Planaria. I dosed in smaller than directed amounts because I was nervous about killing the crabs. Worked like a charm! Great to hear about the crabs surviving! What did you use?

Keiris Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I want some micro crabs those are really cute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Time for an update! The plants are growing wonderfully, and so are the shrimp! Sorry for the blurry first picture. You may spot a couple cherry juvies in there, those are the test tube babies I hatched! I need to rehome them soon. There have been no signs of hydra since treating with No Planaria. I added three large fan shrimps, man are they cool! Also included some photos of plants: Hygro Pinnatiffida, Lobeilia Cardinalis, Alternanthera Renikii Mini, and some Anubias Nana Petite. The first batch of baby yellows neos is growing up fast. The babaulti babies are slower, but all there. Rodan76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 In the first pic, is that a true rili yellow in front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I wouldn't say it is a true one. These are sort of a mixed bag yellow neo. Some have the stripe on their back, some have just a solid yellow, and then there is that one! I have yet to decide what way I want to go with colour control. In the first pic, is that a true rili yellow in front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Well, I mean true in the sense it is not a poorly colored orange rili. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Ahhh I gotcha! Nope, it is a yellow Well, I mean true in the sense it is not a poorly colored orange rili. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Real yellow rilis are very very rare. The yellow rilis on the market right now are poorly colored orange rilis. I'm working on trying to create a strain of them, but they have yet to breed so far. You may have better luck with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sounds like I got lucky Hopefully he gets busy with a lovely lady soon! Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 My tip is to call them something other than yellow rili. You don't want them to be confused with the current "imitations." woopderson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Super Woopdershrimp sp Yellow! XD I will think of something if I can breed out the line. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
