How breeders get their prized top end shrimps is really their own trade secret.  If you are developing you own line, any individuals that does not meet your criteria has really very little value to your breeding program and like I said the end result will speak for themselves.  Once your get to a level of the asian breeders no one will question the lineage.
 
The PRL term only really comes into play when you are selling off your culls and expect a certain price point for them.  Of course ppl will pay more for PRL but with that term comes expectations that they are not crossed with CBS, Golden or non-PRL CRS.

Yes but do realize that crossing PBL with your PRL might set you back years... And since it been crossed with PBL most ppl would consider it a "Pure Line" but not necessarily PBL or PRL.  If your goal is a PRL than you have to make sure you don't breed any shrimps with any "undesireable" trait - so crossing it with CBS is big no no.
 
It would be more accurate to call "Tigori Red Bee Line"  rather than PRL as the generally accepted definition is that PRL has not been cross with any non PRL (i.e golden, CBS) as it would be no longer "pure red" once you do that.

It's very hard to dissolve, that's why I suggest to put it in a tea bag, so you could remove it completely after the treatment.
 
I use HOB:
 

 

 

Good luck with them.  Once you get them going, it's hard to control them.
 

 

 
At one point I had over 100 babies in a 10 gallon tank.

It is staghorn. The easiest way is a spot treatment with either h2o2 or Flourish Excel (API co2 booster, Glutaraldehyde).

I just put the bag in a bigger container.
 
cut top open. and start acclimating by dripping in water.
 
once you have enough water in the container, gently flap over and let shrimp out.
 
done.

remove mystery snails, too.
 
Actually I only use .1g for planaria, and use .05 for hydra.  Takes a bit longer, but gentler on the shrimp and still gets rid of them fine.

Looks like you keep neos.
 
so Salty Shrimp GH/KH+ is better.

Do you have any nerite snails in the tank? Be aware they are sensitive fenben, I would remove them prior to medicating the tank. Even after water changes and filtering with carbon to remove any residual medication, I found that nerites wont last long in the tank.

Yes, agree. there are lots of way to do the same thing.

Yummy!

Depends... not every has the same tolerance as I do ;-)

The answer is fish.
 
I don't have small fish like tetra.
the smallest one I have now is Endler females. quiet big compare to shrimp.
 
Luckily I don't have shrimplet in the tank, all adults.
 
so I take one from my fish tank and drop in the shrimp tank.
It only takes couple minutes to clean every larvaes I have in the tank.
 
then I take it out of the shrimp tank.
 
Done!

best shrimp community ever.

Most of you know that I honestly believe secrets in shrimping will kill the hobby in America if left to continue. 
 
For example, it was once that way with reptile breeding, and as soon as people became open with knowledge gained- the reptile business exploded with more people than ever entering the hobby!
 
So Kudos to the members here for sharing so freely in what has been learned from breeders and personal experience!
 
Also THANK YOU for welcoming members both advanced and new into this shrimping hobby of ours!
 
We've done a great job in making sure everyone feels welcome here, and I'm sure we'll continue to make friendliness and openness our top priorities here!
 
If there's ever any spam or a flame war in the making, just remember that two words to the left of the "multiquote" tab under the post is the word "report."  Click on that, write your concerns, and the mods will figure things out ASAP. 
 
We're all in this together folks!  We're all one community!  Kudos to YOU for making this forum a success!

Wow, nice to see you here.

When I first started keeping fish I had a cray fish in the tank that I gave it a piece of hot dog. It died a few days later  so I don't know if it was the hot dog that killed it or the fact that I had no clue what the hell I was doing.  

Ask Randy about MK-Breed.
 
It's the top quality, IMHO, it's much better than JPRL.

I don't use any of other things.

I select ship by weight. and input the guessed weight.
 
If your estimated weight is lower than actual weight, you pay extra when shipping.

Pretty much as a source of trace elements.
 
so you don't need a lot, I would put one or two per tank, just for peace of mind.
