Louie Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I am thinking of placing a few crystal red with black crystals . Has anyone done this, if so what did you get? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 CBS and crs breed together but all you get are crs and CBS offspring nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 The black is dominant to the red but otherwise you will just get either red or black offspring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks a lot everyone . I was hoping that I would get white, red and black shrimp. Since not the case will keep them separate . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 iff you get soe snow white or golden bees and put them in there you have the chance of getting white shrimp along with red and black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 A variety of cherry shrimp. Schoko (chocolate) originally imported from Germany, and selectively bred by me for painted coverage and to be darker. ctaylor3737 and Hungle64 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 wow those chocolate cherries are awesome. you guys make me want to start 10 more shrimp tanks Don't be afraid of MTS you already have it, just haven't developed all the symptoms....lol small tanks are easy to aquire and startup. Which is why I love shrimps soo much, the payoff is quicker and they are still pretty new in some areas.

snowpetals Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeahhhh....I'm looking at this as my next shrimp kingdom.

Louie Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I purchased that color from Soothing about a year ago . They look rather drab in that pic but they are actually much nicer . I got some solid black shrimp when I mixed some of their babies with orange shrimp but I never separated the Black shrimp thus never got any babies . Not sure if they would even pass on that color . Since I know close to nothing about shrimp genetics but the 4 adults I have are nice . Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'd say that's a beautiful tank. Too rich for my blood, but then again- mine are project tanks, not show tanks. If you have the moola, go for it. Yeahhhh....I'm looking at this as my next shrimp kingdom.

snowpetals Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 what do your tanks look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Simple $11 tenners from petsmart with econ hoods. Some moss and a sponge filter. Ubber simple, and cheapish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yea,all mine are cheap tanks. Probably never spent more than 5$ on my 10g. The only Showtank I spent money on was a 92g corner bowfront. The rest all CL scores or free lol. Buy a few from the 1$ sale when they have it to. My fish room they'll all be framed in and nice but the tanks will be old. I just can't spend the money on new tanks when older ones do the same job. I'm also comfortable in 're sealing a tank. Be surprised how many leaky tanks you can get for free and it was just because the seal twisted during move. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpetals Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Hmmm...well I don't have much room seeing as how I live in an apartment. So I might as well snazz up a few small ones. Although maybe I did go overboard on my first one. But I do enjoy the oohs and ahhs when people come over. But then they look closer.... "Just shrimp??!?!?! All that for frickin shrimp? Fools. They don't understand. Soothing Shrimp, ctaylor3737 and jessaweeshrimp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
