Allicat Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hello, I have a saddled Mischling who looks ready to berry up any day now. I would like to pair her up with a TB but I'm not sure if any of my males are old enough to make babies yet or not. She seems to be the first one reaching breeding age of my females. I'm not sure if I should use a breeder box to put her with my male TB (BKK) or let her roam and possibly have the eggs fertilized by another Mischling. Thoughts?

dr0p Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 The breeder box with the male (hopefully breeding age) BKK would be best if TB are your aim. If not sure, let her roam as you still have a chance even with another mischling who may be breeding age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah I have tried to pair up shrimp before and actually caused the female to not get fertilized by messing around. I would rather have a female berry and have babies rather than chance no babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Mischling x mischling is bad idea. Only do mischling x TB male. otherwise, you ended up with regular CRS/CBS that can't separate from mischling EricM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allicat Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I did get some King Kongs from Joe's that look mature enough. I have them in a separate tank quarantining, I could maybe stick her in there? Params are the same. Oh, and his shrimp look totally healthy; I just quarantine anything new before introducing it to my existing tanks. So maybe just mover her over there?

Allicat Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I put her in with the TBs before I left for the weekend , I returned to her all berried up!!! [emoji38] so excited. I know its her first berry so its possible she could drop them, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Also, does egg color predict if they are TB or not? All the eggs appear to be a dark brown/black color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faralon Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Congrats! I'll let the pro's chime in here on the berries. The majority of mine (As seen in the video on my Journal) are a Golden/Amber in color. Two of them have recently turned blueish, which I think is a sign of a different colored shrimp from the rest?
