Shrimpo Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 This is where I keep my TB shrimp, 8 gallon tank with some driftwood, Marimo moss ball, Java fern, anubias nana and mini pellia. Until I get nice camera, all what I have now is cell phone pictures. jem_xxiii and svetilda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpo Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I love the shrimps with two types of blue . Those are what they call King Kong? Most the shrimp in this tank are Extreme Black King Kong with no stripes on the body, the ones with stripes range from King Kong to Panda shrimp.

Thanks . I'm not familiar with King Kongs. I have seen them listed but n familiar with them . Are they in the Caridina family , how do you keep them as far as temp, etc ?

Shrimpo Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yes they are Caridina shrimp, you can keep them in the same water parameters as Crystal red shrimp, lower temperature and soft acidic water. Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Shrimpo's KK are awesome & extremely hardy. I enjoy the 1's I was able to get from him. Thanks, any berries so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Happy holidays to you too, glad to hear they are doing ok. When I first got mine it took a while then they start breeding once they settled down. Hardiness is what I aim for when breeding shrimp, everything else comes after. I don't have any bacterial infection in my tanks but I would like to hear about your success on beating it, if you don't mind post it here so other members benefit from it.

Thanks . I find the King Kong and Hulk shrimps confusing as they come in different colors which resemble other shrimp . For example I saw King Kongs in black/white whch to me looked like Black crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
