ctaylor3737 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just an update I have 4 babies that have grown up to a decent size, have the one berried again for about 2 weeks now so hopefully she should have the next batch. It seems that I only have one female from the first group of shrimp that I have. mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Glad to say that my shrimp are breeding like crazy. I have about 15 juvies in the tank that I can count and I have 2 berried shrimp, so hopefully soon will have alot in the tank! I have plans for a larger sulawasi tank so I hope they keep breeding so I can make a 20l or go crazy and get a 55g lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 So did that one baby stay blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Will be adding some new editions soon! Harlequins and yellow cheeks will be coming soon! Very exciting times. Have about 25 cardinals now, they are breeding pretty good. Have 2 berried a lot. Low baby survival it seems. Its getting better though.

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 So the blue baby died? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 No it's alive, it's the body that is blue. If it goes clear at night it's blue. It has a bluish tint to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 So tissue is blue and pigment is red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yea makes a deeper red color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Maroon like, I'm guessing. But if no blue tissue, the the red should really POP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Has anyone turned out the lights and then after an hour or so, turned them on to see if there is a difference between the clear tissue red coloring and the blue tissue red coloring?

Shrimpo Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I just spotted one shrimplet yesterday that is light blue with tank lights off under flashlight, the others are normal color like the parents. today with tank lights on I see normal color shrimplets, the light blue could be hiding or became red, I am not sure. if I ever have chance to catch it and isolate it I will keep you updated.

Red turns a scarlet clear color. Just a hint of red, blue does the same thing just a hint of light blue. Its not even enough to pick up on camera I tried already.

ctaylor3737 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Proud so say bee in my tanks 18 hours and they look awesome. They colored up nice and they are not at all shy like I've heard. Seem pretty stable! Seeing if they dig the snowflake or not. I'll update after I wake up, many updates fir the next few days on progress. Stay Tuned Taylor's Aqua World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
