bsantucci Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi all, New member here and started my first shrimp only tank recently. I was keeping a small colony of TT's in my betta tank, but decided to move them to a dedicated 10 gallon tank. A buddy of mine gave me about 2 dozen more TT's (technically TangTai he says). I also added 12 pseudo tibees and 12 mischlings. Since I'm new to all this I thought it would be interesting to see what comes from this tank and learn a bit, then decide to selective breed once I get the hang of it. I'm keeping them in RODI remineralized with SL-Aqua Blue Wizard to about 180tds/gH 5/kH 0/temp 75. All are doing well, totally cleared ALL of the biofilm I had from cycling (the tank looked like spiderwebs everywhere, surprised they ate it so quick!). Any tips of tricks I'd appreciate. My friend who gave me the TangTai's also threw the below guy in (was in his tank). Curious what this one is? From my searching I'm guessing a rili of some sort?

Mr. F Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Welcome! What a cool colony to start off with! That shrimp could be a blue rili (blue bodied red rili) or maybe a chocolate rili (from Bloody Mary.) Either way it looks to be Neocaridina and will not interbreed with the rest of the shrimp you listed, which are all Caridina. bsantucci 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any potential issues with the group of Caridina I have in there? I figured if I get some interbreeding it wouldn't be the end of the world and I'd see how things develop.
