Soothing Shrimp Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm new to crystals in general. I have several 3cm fems in my red project tank. Do they not usually grow that big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I tried a ruler shot, but the pellet is about an inch away from the glass, and I kept getting the shrimp blurred and not horizontal, but at weird angles. But yeah. They meet/exceed 3cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OblongShrimp Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 3 cm is only 1.18 inches so its really doesn't seem very large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know anything about it? Multimilion dollar question , that I don't know yet the answer, but I belive in that. Although Neocaridina breeders from Taiwan only select females to sell/export because of their color, allways best than in Neo males, I saw some breeding pools with tousands of liters from big breeders, and the quantity of females is amazing.

Necrectic Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi Favio! I was pretty amazed by your interview. I use both volumes as a guide on how from hatch to berry. I've read so many things on the Internet about how to do this or that and got a little frustrated. Now that the magazine is out is like seeing the light from the cream of the cream. Quick question Favio. Do you believe that the temperature plays an important part when it comes to gender? Like for higher temps more males hatch and lower temps more females hatch?
