Shrimp Life Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Here is my Green Jade Momma. She has been berried for a week. This is her first time berried. I got 10 baby green jades and raised them. Only 2 are for sure female. They are both berried this week. They were slow growers for the most part. I am interested to know if anyone has been breeding green jades and the outcome of the offspring. I am hoping for a decent amount of green jade babies!

Pokeshrimp Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Where did you get your green jaded from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I got them here in Toronto, Canada. From a seller who imported them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 did these derive from yellow neos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeshrimp Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I was just looking at the neo color chart and according to that they come from orange rilis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Good Question, I am not sure. I also thought they came from Orange or Yellow Neo. They are quite obviously green and a nice change from all the more popular neo varieties. jem_xxiii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Well wherever it came from it looks great! Do you keep them on a diet that may aid in bringing the green color out more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 From the time they were very small they had a very nice green coloring. The greens are just something different altogether. Definately something cool that not too many people have, and I always wondered why. Perhaps they don't breed true at all?. I am hoping for a good percentage of green offspring. I guess I will find out soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dervie Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Nice looking shrimps. I'm also from Toronto, did you purchase from a local breeder or a store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Yes, a store, pm me! Long story short - the store imports shrimp and I ordered two batches of green jades from this store, each time they died one by one, all showing sign of parasite. (I didn't notice at first until looking with a magnifying glass) any ways I ordered it two times, same thing each time. I was beyond frustrated. Anyways the store owner offered me 12 babies born in his store. I tried them. No sign of disease or parasite this time around and they all grew up healthy and no deaths. Thats how I have my current stock. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phreeflow Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Awesome shrimp...I'm partial to green as well. I remember fondly the caridini babaulti green I used to keep years ago. They were very bright green for the most part but I could never find them when they sat on foliage. Wonder why no one keeps them anymore.

Shrimp Life Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Here are some pics today of the one berried female green jade with some males. The males are not as nice green as the females however my water is yellow from tannins so its making the males look less green then they really are--- Louie, kaydoubleyou and svetilda 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm happy to report there are little shrimp swimming around. I am curious to see how true they breed. This one looks green already!! woohoo! neoterrapin, Soothing Shrimp, Louie and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 To my knowledge there are at least 3 green jade strains. Let's hope you have one that is more true breeding than not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 To my knowledge there are at least 3 green jade strains. Let's hope you have one that is more true breeding than not! Thats neat, I did not know this. I find that alot of the newer shrimp colors like blue diamonds and bloody mary etc dont breed true *lots of different shades of blue or red* so I figured the same thing might happen with these green jades. I guess I will be able to tell as they get bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoterrapin Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 To my knowledge there are at least 3 green jade strains. Let's hope you have one that is more true breeding than not! Where were these 3 strains developed? There seems to be a handful of people working on this strain here in the US - I've seen some high quality specimens on facebook but they're not breeding true in high percentages yet it seems.

Shrimp Life Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 For some reason my females kicked off their eggs and the first batch of baby shrimp I only saw a few in the tank, and then they disappeared. not sure if they are weak or whats going on... Still working on it and hoping for better results soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 2 were developed in the US, 1 was developed overseas. None throw very high percentages of green, I'm afraid. Here's my fingers crossed for next time, daz! Shrimp Life and neoterrapin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 There is also a Green Jelly strain that come Orange Rilli's - similar to the blue jelly / velvet that came from blue rilli's but with a light yellowish - green; the green is very faint so definitely not as nice as the OP's green jade Shrimp Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm glad you said that, jumpsmasher. I was told the two strains here in the US were from oranges, so that must make them green jellies and not green jades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp lady Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I have recently acquired a few Green jades from my LFS as well and came from 2 different sources for a total of 6, (as these are abit pricely) so purchased only a few to try out. One was partly berried (a few fry had already hatched the day I got her) The remaining eggs have hatched out in my overgrown 5.5 gallon so really have not seen them so far, but no deaths as I check it daily (no pink bodies on the bottom). These are strikingly Army green jade in color (I call it Army green). Will follow this thread too and see if his come out true and mine as well. If anyone else has these chime in, or I can get them some too (P.N.W area in the USA) These are definately a fun Neo. to try out.
