Soothing Shrimp Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Never get old having shrimp berried. I just got 5 crs earlier this year and now today one is berried! My up sand has them in roughly 4.6ph (pinpoint may need recalibrated.) Amazingly enough, the moss grows fine, but not a sign of hair algae- even with 12+ hr lights. Me happy camper.

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Wonder how many generations in would be considered prl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Soothing, If you breed the white out of them wont you wind up with cherry shrimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Louie, the body is very different from neos, so although mostly red- they still would be shaped differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 The all red crystal red shrimp is currently called super crystal red or black if its all black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 yepper. We use that term relaxed and generically here, but it caused a huge argument/uproar overseas when two breeders came out with the same type of coloration with two different names at the same time. Another argument was to breed it all red, or have a thin white stripe on the back and face. They take shrimp VERY seriously overseas.

Jayr_Tigley Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Not just shrimp we take even the average fish keeping very seriously I even read in one of the forums here that keeping fat goldfishes like oranda and those ones must be in a 40l tank by law and you also cant have a fish in a bowl by law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 40l at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Wow. Seriously indeed! ...but you know, that raises the quality of aqua keeping quite a bit. What I don't understand is that they have laws like that, and yet in some parts selling turtles or salamanders, etc heat sealed in a key chain until they die is okay. *shrugs* I think it's a cultural thang.

Jayr_Tigley Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Question about ur crs, how many generation has passed since you started and which grade did you begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 This is P1. I was sent them as a juvie- somewhere between b and c. The berries will be the f1 baby generation, and thus begins my breeding program with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Aha. I think ill try super crystal black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 You should. I'd love to follow your journal! I'd like to do that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 But first i have find some low grade cbs near me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 That was the hardest challenge I had. CRS/CBS have been bred for high grades for so long, finding low grades is very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes. That is why when someone added " super" in front of the crystal red/black they turn from 0.5 euro to 10 euros lol Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
