Still can not upload pictures like I would like too bit I'll give a nice update. My chocolate neos are doing great my f1 should be ready to breed here shortly, I threw my high ph crs in their tank as well. I'm running out of room so I'm going to start doubling up on my 20gs. I got a nice tank of orange neos all sakura grade two berried. My carbon rilli f1 are or might be breeding soon, also threw all my obet in their tank(you can look at the tank for a couple minutes with out seeing a shrimp their so camouflaged). My yellow neo population will never grow I keep selling all my juvies before they grow so I threw 30 btoe from Erik in their 20g. My red rilli population is also on the rise they too seem to sell before they grow except the few I've been selective breeding. Red cherrys are the usual doing what red cherrys do. My blue rilli population is growing nicly. I'm cycling a 20g for my diamond shrimp that are producing nicly as well so I need to get them out of their ten gallon. All my michilings are gone but I'm in the process of making more. I have two berried cbs and kk is the father. The rest of my tbs just need some time to grow and I'll have an all tb ten gallon soon enough. I have a ten with a young colony of tangerine tigers that are growing fast. My cardnial shrimp are breeding way faster then I thought, I really thought they would take a long time but I've got over 3 clutches of baby's now. My malawa shrimp have not been producing that we'll so I'm going to tare down their tank and move them into another I just don't know which one yet. I started cycling a 7.5g using shrimp daddy products but still haven't decided what I want to go in their yet.

This month has been progressing nicely a lot of big things are about to happen here soon. I'll share a few and keep the rest a secret till I get aproval. The first thing is a totally redid my koi pond set up. It use to be koi up top, then grow bed, then lilly pond (where I was trying to breed shrimp as well but the mosquito fish kept getting through the grow bed some how). So I moved all the koi and other fish to the bottom and all my lilly up stream. The pond will be half stocked in spring and I will harvest all the shrimp out of the whole 1100 gallons in fall. I'm thinking yellow neos and tangerine tigers. I got some tangerine x crs and aura tigers x snow white from andrew. All of my cbs had their baby's so I have a bunch of my own michilings now. I did clear my fish room out so I could start on it again but I may not be doing it at all now depending on if I get aproval or not I'll share more tuesday or Wednesday.

So I got this picture thing worked out and I'm going to start back up on my journel again. Starting with a bunch of pictures. Everything is kinds crazy at the moment and I've stoped the fish room project because I might move. How ever I have broken down and am planning to break down several tanks and set the back up for different purposes. My 55g community tank is going to be turned into a electric blue jack Dempsey tank. I have a ten gallon that was my blue diamond shrimp tank that I'm going to use to selective breed some btoe. Another ten that has my malawa shrimp is going to be a royal blue tigers culls from the btoe. I have two ten gallons that I'm using for cray grow out are going to be moved and I'm going to put my 7.5 fluval shrimp daddy ada tank and I'm going to get another 7.5g fluval and do a saltwater upside-down jelly fish tank. I'll share more tomarrow.

Just broke down my blue rilli tank and started fresh substrate threw the wood and moss back in and I'm planning on throwing my yellow neos in there so I can do the same to their tank. Also I raised the tds and gh in all my tanks except for my red rilli tank I droped the tds and gh a bit trying to see if one or the other works for me.

I didn't post anything yesterday so I'll do two posts today. My tiger shrimp have started too mature and I'm seeing some saddles. So I've been catching male tbs for them. I caught a male bkk jelly and threw it with my tangerine tigers and the next morning one was berried.I moved another blue jelly male into my aura x snow whites that's I got from andrew. I have a berried snow white so my whites sre finally maturing. I threw my yellow neos into my old blue rilli tank. I but my btoe in with my blue dreams along with a male crs. I threw my royal blue tigers with orange eyes in my red crystal and chocolate tank. I'm going to wait a week or two and try and catch as many yellow neos out of their tank before I treat for worms. I'll post more once I get some work done.

I finally was able to catch all my electric blue jack Dempseys and threw them in their tank. Also tested my shrimp daddy tank 1 month today every is 0 the tank is done cycling and when I find out what fancy ringers are males I will throw them into the tank as testers. This will eventually be my pinto tank.

So everyday I try and do a good examination of all my tanks to make sure there are no problems, berried shrimps, babys, or something my kids threw into my tanks. Well yesterday I was looking into a tank that had hydra so I didn't want to trow any tibees in so I threw some rainbows that I got from a local fish club and had no where to put them so I decided to throw them in the tank with hydra. Well last month some time I took them out and moved them into my electric blue ram tank. Well when I was looking in their old tank for hydra I found a bunch of rainbow fry. So with out trying (didn't think they were mature enough) I got fry. Also I got a bunch of shrimp off mayphly yesterday and I'll get pictures of those in a week or so when they color up. Today I got some blue dreams and boy am I excited about these, got a good amount two of them are saddled and one is berried. I just got them and can't believe their color. I will take pictures in a few days when i feed. If only I could find some green neos and some snow ball shrimp my neo rack will be completed and I'll just have to add tigers to all of them in time as well. Each 20 gallon will have a type of neo, tiger, moss, and buce. There are 10 tanks on the rack. I got another light coming in tomarrow. I also got my hands on some sl aqua products for my spondge filter tanks to substitute for my mk for a bit because everyone seems to be out of products for a while. Magic powder seems to be a hit. The purity has been a piled and I'm going to dose it heavily in my old yellow neo tank to kill the worms before I use no planariea, also I will find out if this works on hydra.
