Dluxeshrimps Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I breed my BB in 7.9-8.1 pH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dluxeshrimps Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Here is a video (sorry for the t.v. Noise) i breed them with my blue diamond Neos in a very high pH. Idk if you can see but the bb and bd are berried. ShrimpP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrimpP Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Nice Dluxe! Know the rest of the params? Were the Blue Bolts just low grade culls (and the high params didn't effect coloration)? Or were they better looking/more blue, but lost color due to the higher params? They are active, eating and I did see at least one berried BB and one berried Blue Diamond (look more like Blue Dream Rili's or Blue Carbons to me) so they are doing good I'd say! I'm all for creating strains of softer, acidic Caridinas, adapted to Neocaridina params! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dluxeshrimps Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 These are low culls just to test out in a Neo parameters. the blues on them wasn't as strong to begin with. I did toss a middle grade BB, ill see if I can spot and see the coloration difference. have the BB's in the tank for about 4 months now in these parameters with zero deaths. parameters if im not mistaken I believe for this tank it is TDS 200-300 gH 6-8 kH 2-5 Temp 74-76F ShrimpP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I was able to keep my caridinas healthy in tap water high ph... they would berry regularly however the survival rate of the babies was much lower then what it would be in the standard low ph bee params. So for breeding purpose FOR ME I found to keep them at their low ph is best, ro water. ShrimpP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that the berried females are not fully berried, what i mean is I can count perhaps 3-6 eggs in there belly, were in regular RO water under the correct parameters the belly's are at full capacity where the female struggles to walk. Idk if that is something different that happens in Neo parameters but I have noticed this. Shrimp Life and ShrimpP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 interesting. I wish they were a little bluer. Not sure it will matter for this project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
