betterthanak Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just wondering if anyone has black sakura shrimps for sale. And if they do, pls post a pic so I can see the quality of the shrimp. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've seen very dark blue that looks close to black, and I have some dark green Nessies that look close to black. Chocolate rose/diamond is actually very dark chocolate, and occasionally a carbon is fully covered that has coloration close to black, but a solid black strain doesn't exist that I've seen (in the USA anyway.) Overseas I've seen a fire black strain which looked to be a real black... But things always pop up to surprise me with shrimp, so maybe there's a small breeder who has developed a strain I don't know about yet.

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Fire Black from overseas: I've been working on a black strain myself, but it is still a year or more away from being completed. Lyana and Wygglz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepanda Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Are we talking about black diamonds here, as I seem to get a few breeding out in most batches of blue diamonds/ blue dreams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dluxeshrimps Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have a bunch of those black diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Purple and Deluxe, do you have a strain of them yet? (I have no idea the history of fire black.) Tyler44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dluxeshrimps Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I took some RCS that seem more redder then the norm, and breed it with a some high grade chocolates and out of that I breed it with some high grade blue diamond, I say out of 15 shrimplets about 5 or less may be black, they look between a dark dark purple to me. but its hard to tell with the lighting and position of the shrimp. I would say the blue diamond/ blue wizard whatever you call them make them go darker. I got my blue diamonds from my shrimp guy, he got them from a Taiwan breeder.

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yep. And not a strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterthanak Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 So black sakura is not a strain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyana Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've seen black roses for sale on aquabid, do they not breed true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 "So expect to have nice grade chocolate, blue diamond, and black sakura from the babies." Sounds to me like selling a single color from the chocolate diamonds. To me a strain is one that breeds near true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomes Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Perhaps this might help Not to highjack this thread, but I love this shrimp chart! Is there a better resolution version or a poster that can be purchased? ShrimpDIVA69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
