    Many of them have.

    In bp it may. I don't know about snowballs since they have absence of color to begin with. Someone should do that experiment.

    I'm confused. I would think gravel would be inert. Does this raise the ph?
  4. Soothing Shrimp
    Will do. I'll keep updating as I go along. Normally people have a preference between neon stripe or not. I think you'd *want* the stripe on this to help see the clear breaks.

    I knew a guy once who was selectively breeding ghost shrimp for color. I wonder whatever happened to his project?
  6. Soothing Shrimp
    LOL Thanks!

    "plam meadow big" ?

    I never remember anything, so I just use the rules of 3. Berried for 3 weeks, reproduce after 3 months. Not totally accurate, but accurate enough for me to remember. LOL I found another male yellow rili I think, however I just placed the one with 2 fems in a 10g. The modifiers may fall into place more quickly with a limited P1 structure. I also selected some nicely colored yellow fems, so if I get any rili in f1, hopefully the color areas will be bold and not faint. --- Aquariumlover10, RR already exist. I have some fro my BBRR project I can sell to you if you'd like.

    Looks like I'll have to make some room. All yellow rilis I have seen advertised are really orange rilis with poor color. I'm as shocked as all get-out I have a real one! The hard part will be breeding it out. Usually the fems carry the coloring in neos. We'll see what happens. I'll probably pick 2-3 fems plus him in a new tank.

    I'll try to get some pics. Rili sort of fell out of favor when people learned constant culling is involved for them to keep the classic look. Interestingly enough, there's a group of people that like the splotched look which makes some variety in the tank and keeps all shrimp from being only one solid color.

    I wonder if it would be possible in the future. hmmmmmm It all depends how the pigmentation works. The current idea is that crs are technically cbs with a mutation that turns the red to black. BB are supposedly just poorly colored layers of black over white. For purple, the blue-black would have to be either layered or interspersed between red. So since current thinking is that either one OR the other can occur in the same space, a future mutation would have to occur to make it possible to have both share the space, methinks.
  13. Soothing Shrimp
    Well, that's interesting... It looks as though I may have a male yellow shrimp in my yellow tank turning out to be a true yellow rili.
  14. Soothing Shrimp
    Raspberry? Looks more grape to me.
  15. Soothing Shrimp
    You'll have to charge $3000 for a new non-true breeding var. LOL
  16. Soothing Shrimp
    Yepper.

    Upon close examination, I see in the Black Rose pic: dark chocolate, chocolate, and blue. So I think it's safe to speculate that these don't breed true and may even be hand picked from a larger shipment. In fact, these look an awful lot like selected BD to me.
  18. Soothing Shrimp
    My understanding is black rose is actually very dark chocolate. Others have said that they still throw chocolates as well. I don't know personally since I'm hesitant to buy non-true shrimp right now since I don't have space atm.
  19. Soothing Shrimp
    ch3f, correct me if I'm wrong- but the part that looks purple- is that really white covered with lesser blue density? That gives the illusion of purple on camera sometimes. I'm not sure though because she looks to have red on her tail...

    Welcome to our forum!
  21. Soothing Shrimp
    I don't know this for a fact, so it's just me thinking out loud...but they look like blue diamond throws. If they are, then they won't breed true. It would be very interesting to experiment with though.
  22. Soothing Shrimp
    Last I heard of black knight neos, they were in Australia and the jury was still out on true breeding.
  23. Soothing Shrimp
    I'd like to know more about it. Like does it breed true?
  24. Soothing Shrimp
    I'm confused with the question. How long after mating does berries take place? Within 24 hours. Heck I've seen some within an hour.

    In the US when someone posts 20L, usually it refers to a 20 gallon long (breeder)
