evodrgn Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 So happy to finally have my first round of babies EVER (I've had berried PRL but they kicked their eggs a while ago and I'm hoping to have berried ones soon) lol and they happen to be from my blue bolts!!! So excited to share pictures but the camera I'm using is an iPod touch 5th gen so the clarity of the photos may not be the best. I've only seen two of the tiny little ones running around and I think one may even be a Mosura BB *crosses fingers* I'm only posting the two pictures that came out "best" out of more than 20 which ended up pretty bad haha Not too sure if you can see the little spec that looks like dookie under the adult BB but that's a baby BB!! and the little spec about 2.5inchs away to the righ from the adult BB is also a baby BB! h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evodrgn Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 So excite to see if they give out any Mosura BB but I'm more than happy if I get regular BB from them hehe. So worth the wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbarbee54 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Do you currently have any mouser bb, because I have breed them allot of ways and only seen a couple out of hundreds of babies I now have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evodrgn Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I do have Mosura BB but the ones I have are only juvies and are in another breeder net separated from these guys. This batch is only Blue bolts...I have three berried mamas and one is releasing her clutch the other two are nearing due but not just yet.

Greenteam Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Are you housing the berried females in breeding nets for the entire gestation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evodrgn Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Are you housing the berried females in breeding nets for the entire gestation?Yessir! Well actually all of the bolts are in a breeding net since their tank is nearing complete cycle. I have the outflow of the eheim 2213 pushing water through the breeding net and they all are doing fine. I have a piece of cholla wood in there, a little piece of IAL and a bunch of mini x-mas moss in the breeder net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Someday I'll get some TBs. Gotta be set up for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evodrgn Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Someday I'll get some TBs. Gotta be set up for it though. I like TBs a lot and Blue Bolts are my favorite out of all of them hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Someday I'll get some TBs. Gotta be set up for it though.Well see a whole new level of addiction evolve lol. I jumped in haha, I was still getting used to the crs when I b o mighty cardinals. Hardest ones I've bred ime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I bought a cannister earlier this year for them. Would have to get other stuff as I can. The biggest challenge I have is temperature in this fish room. During much of the year it is 80+, then it drops to 50's. Everybody told me that the CRS wouldn't do well in the heat, but now I have CRS that have grown up in 80+ temps and berried. Perhaps no bad bacteria because I have only fed snowflake. (?)

Maybe put a fan over the tank to drop the temp? That's what a few of the people I know do when it comes to summer time. Other option would be a chiller but those are expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah. The challenge with evaporation is the params change constantly. Chiller would be the way to go, but for the price I could buy a full room air conditioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evodrgn Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Auto top off? haha just giving out ideas to help you get into TBs!!! hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Actually, I have considered auto top off. And that may be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evodrgn Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 hopefully it works! I've never used auto top off but the LFS that I use to work at before used the auto top off in a sump but that was six years ago haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Dang look at this guy! You didn't tell me you had berried Blue Bolt. Congrats bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evodrgn Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Well, I must say....them Plenn Plax breeder nets don't hold shrimp babies very well haha =P This is my third baby blue bolt that I've caught in the tank hanging out near the sponge filter. Pic of the breeder nets for those who don't know what I'm referring to. This is an older picture not much has changed though Then we have this little one...Samsung Galaxy s4 doesn't take the greatest of pictures to begin with so trying to take a shot of the little one doesn't help lol Sorry if I post too much about them babies haha they're my first successful clutch!!!!
