Guess who's berried!!!

I'm finishing up with my bachelors degree in nursing in December. If by then no one has attempted breeding them I am certainly up for the task! These tiny guys look so awesome!

Hello y'all! I've been shrimpin for a year and a half. This hobby is soooo addicting.... and expensive.... and AWESOME. Love to see some fellow ladies out there that share the shrimpy fever

Honestly I can't tell a difference since google gives the same shrimp for all this names PFR, Supreme Red, Sakura Red, High Grade Red.
 
 
It's 50 shades of Red.

Has anyone successfully bred these tiny guys? They're so beautiful and purple and tiny! I'm really hoping someone has figured out what salinity is needing during the larval stage if any at all.

Finely got some shrimp in the 20l.  Blue bolts from Shrimpscales.
 

 
 

 
 

Managed to get six tanks up and cycling yesterday.

Very Nice my friend! Best thing about HMF, camouflage! 

Think bostoneric posted something about MK cranks the temp like 77+. But his goals are breeding.

You have the right handle on it. 72 ish seems to be ideal. Higher encourages breeding lower encourages lifespan. Depends on your goals. I used to do 72 now I'm higher...forgot maybe 75ish.
I find more activity at the higher temp.

Last winter I lost my original fire red colony from an unplugged heater. I was really bummed out. Last week I finaly ordered some more from (Daryl) DETAquarium from whom I purchased my original fire reds a while back. They've been in my tank for 5 days now and are doing great. I love their dark red color. These pics don't even do them justice. He even threw in a berried female. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the babies make it. Here's a few pics of them. I'm keeping them with some of my tibee.

Time is running out!!

The pink shrimplet we talked about on the left side. that picture also showing red cherry on the top and blue rili on the right side from the same mother.

Just for fun, a few pics of my Nessies:
 
 

Someone pm';ed me and asked if I could share a pic of my BV project I';m been selective breeding for several years now.  I'm happy to say that I'm getting some pretty good results with a couple more shades darker this year.
 
Here's a pic I just took with the hood light on.  I don't do color modifications via photo editor, so what you see is what it pretty much is. 

 
 
The 2nd pic is with flash:

 
 

Here's my best painted Sunshine Shrimp thus far.
 
Note that you can't even see the saddle.  The dark spot is the "guts."

I like the concept.  I've had bad luck with some LED lights though with sections burning out.
 
I use 54w per shelf right now by using florescent bulbs in the generic hoods on my tenners.  Problem is, I get hair algae galore because even at 9w per florescent, the light is still too high.  The raised LED would stop that, but that means I'd have to spend $$$ to get glass tops to keep evap to a min..   Decisions, decisions....

I love the C grades!

Tick tock....

Excel in my experience is safe for shrimp, most people use it at half strength of the reccomended but I have used it at full strength and higher with all ages of baby shrimp TB and Neo with berried mamas with no issues.

Tonight I was checking my Mischling tank which is full of babies and saw this tiny little blue guy swimming through the moss. I can't tell you how excited I was to see this. This is my first TB from my Mischling. Looks like BKK. I've had them for about 2 years and have been looking forward to this for a long time[emoji1][emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

My Fissiden is growing out of hand again and I need to thin out my tanks. 
 
I'm doing packages so I can clean up the tanks. Have about 3 packages.
 
 
 
I tend to be more on the generous side so portions tend to be more then I list specially when I'm trying to clean out tanks lol.
 
Each package will be made of: 
 
(Golf ball) Fissidens Fontanus
 
(1x1) Fissidens Splachnobryoides aka Mini Fissiden 
 
$35 Shipped
 
 
In the picture the 2 big pieces in the back are Fontanus and the two small pieces are (left) Mini Fissiden & (right) Geppi. This is just some of it I have tons of the Mini

A pillar to the hobby in the USA. Trusted source for quality shrimp, cant go wrong with Shrimpscales !  

I ordered a sample pack a couple weeks ago. So far I have tried the snowflake, nettle, and baby food. Every single one has been a huge hit. I have fed my shrimp a variety of commercial foods in the past, and they barely paid attention at all. What a huge difference! I don't know what Han puts in there, but I can't wait to try the rest. Really fantastic customer service too. Such a pleasure to deal with.
