ctaylor3737 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I have only lost 3 harlequins 1 during shipment and 2 the day after. They seem to love the marco rock and hide alot in there. I thought that maybe I lost a few but then I moved the rock and they all came out, I set i up now to where I can see the back of the tank so itll be easier to check on them and make sure they are doing good. I have a good feeling and the ones I have seem really active. Would be nice to be able to have some babies to get a good colony going. I have 5 new cardinal babies this morning so that brings my total up to 30 or so. miwu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well I have been MIA for sometime due to family issues. But the good news is that I found yesterday that I have 2 berried yellow cheeks in my tank! and guess what else? I have a berried Harlequin!!! If successfull I will be one of the few in the U.S to have them breeding in a tank. Just gotta be able to get the babies to survive. I did a tiny water change and I am not going to be touching the tank for the next month or so until they hatch. Time will tell if it will be successful or not. I hope to even just get 1-2 to survive and I will be happy. miwu and countryboy12484 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayphly Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 They are beautiful shrimps. I've had mine for a week now and just observed one of them molt. That was cool! I wish you luck with the babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well I was gazing around the tank today before I left for work and I have a berried Harlequin!!!!!!!! I also have baby cardinals and yellow cheeks!!!! I also have 2 more berried cardinals so finally I have a few females. I think my population is finally going to take off, I may have to start cycling another 20L for these guys. mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Do you keep them all in one tank, or have species only tanks? ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Do you keep them all in one tank, or have species only tanks?They are all in the same tank, They all accept the same water parameters. I want to do a larger Sulawesi tank with all the species, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm also hoping for that slim chance they will breed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I thought I had Cardinal shrimplets but maybe not, their front arms are not completely white, some stay red in the dark but others turn from light blue to almost black, the one on the back is definitely Cardinal but I think I got other specie mixed with them when I first bought them, not sure though. The pictures shown with and without flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 That at nighttime? They can and will turn colors at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes at night aquarium light off, they don't look like Cardinal, their back and tail have few white marks and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eozen81 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi Chris, Amazing diary. I really wonder the progress about yellow cheeks and Harlequins? Did you get any shrimplets? I personally have Cardinals which are good at reproduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Here is another picture, you can see the difference between the one in the center and others. How come only one has white arms? Is that a gender diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
