Shrimpmaster Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Yeah they are, but still no clue how the f** they were made! No one seems to pop up in the mix tank anymore, but I'm very glad this group itself is breeding, so lets see how far/yellow I can get with them.

Jaykidding Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 What soil are you using!?!? It looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpmaster Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 What soil are you using!?!? It looks great Dennerle Kristal Quartz, black. But keep in mind this is not an active soil, so you will need to control PH in an other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp lady Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Pic your 3 best deep yellows from this batch, separate them now you got the main group breeding alone and see how deep yellow they'll really turn out. You may have to set up a few other smaller tanks to do this though or go to www.kensfish.com (ships worldwide) and order a Breeding trap(s) made by Marina called a "breeding box" (L) get the large one @ 12" or 30cm. This will save on alot of extra tanks, setup & cycling them. These boxes uses the "main tanks" water and circulate water back through into and out of this box. It works with a 4 watt air pump anything less and it won't pump in enough air to drive water through. You will have to add a fine sponge piece to the outflow as the 3 different plastic screens these kit comes with is still too large for any shrimplets and will get sucked back into the main tank if you don't want them to, after the female has hatched out! Here are a few pics of my set-up for cherry shrimp fry. This is the (M) box at 8" or 22 cm. These 12 shrimp have been in there for 1 month now and have NOT lost one! Good luck on your experiment! These really do look like a yellow Neocaridina though... and not a KK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpmaster Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks for the tip, I will look into this and see if it fits my tank. Yes they look like yellow Neocaridina indeed. Almost the same, but they are not. They cross with TWB and Tiger, but the results are not fantastic, although some people like them, see above.

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Beautiful! So glad to see a US strain of yellow caridina! Have you thought of a name for them? Not sure yellow kk applies since they may not have the same genetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
