Shrimp Life Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Well I have some great news! I thought I didn't have any success with these guys but I found some bigger babies hiding in a big clump of Java Moss. These guys are very hard to see when they are against anything green! When I get home from work I'm going to pull out the moss and count how many I have! Pics to follow!

Shrimp Life Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Moving all the green jades to a larger tank, so picture time!!! while they are in the breeder box! Anyways I am finding that the babies are about 3 different shades of green. One is a diluted Forest Green. One is a Bright Green. One is a Yellowish. Some are darker then others... I guess I will let this batch mature without any culling whatsoever. The pale ones may get some more color with age... I want to see how they mature before knowing exactly which ones I should cull for future generations! Even the babies that I originally grew up from small babies were much paler when they were small, and now they are deep green... so time will tell. I still dont know which mother these babies came from because for months I had mothers hiding in moss and obviously babies too. I realized also that the green jade mothers really hide alot when they are berried! Mr. F, Soothing Shrimp, Ren and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Those look great! I also picked up a few so called jaded green neos. Let's see how they turn out in the next couple of days. Shrimp Life and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. F Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 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!Are you using any baby shrimp food, green water, or have moss distributed about the tank? The newly hatched shrimplets are more or less immobile for the first few days so in order for them to gain strength they'll need a source of energy nearby. I see a significantly higher newborn survival rates using shirakura chi ebi. However, i haven't tried all the baby shrimp foods out there.Hope this is helpful!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk These are really good suggestions. I do have lots of moss in my tanks, and I've had alot of success with my other NEO tanks so I didn't really feel the need to try baby food. But thank you for bringing this up--- I am going to look into baby foods and maybe anyone else reading this can add input on the type of baby food they add to their tanks, what works for you all....

Ren Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ugh I can't wait until mine get as green as yours. Yours are way way greener than mine. They look a mix between wild/yellow with hints of green mixed in. Good job[emoji106] Shrimp Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimp Life Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 The larger female you have has good color... The smaller ones will get more color as they grow up. Also my males are all more pale then the females. I also use the black substrate. Really helps to show their color...

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Sorry for the confusion. I don't have jades yet. Just my Nessies. They tend to get more and more color the older they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
