michaelstiefft Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 i have a question.. i'm fairly new in shrimp hobby and trying to keep PRL.. as an early training to see if i can keep caridina shrimp, i bought a batch of red bee shrimp and 2 PRLs in the same tank.. unknowingly, after about 2 weeks, my female PRL now carry some eggs, let's assume she is mating with male red bee.. i know the offsprings won't be PRL.. what i want to ask: does the female PRL parent still considered pure? since i am preparing an only-PRL tank, i should decide to move the female PRL to new PRL tank after she released her eggs or not.. thank you for anyone who is kind enough to answer my question..

Dendrobatez Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 The parents are still prl, the offspring no. They aren't like guppies where they can hold onto the sperm for long periods Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk JamesHe and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Personally I leave here in the old tank and start new with a fresh batch of PRL. EricM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yes, parent is still pure. move the mom to the new tank a week before she release the shrimplet. move all juvies back to old tank after couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
