I have my first cherry shrimplet!  Never would have known if it hadn't been on the front glass of the tank this morning....have no idea how many there might be, haven't seen anymore yet, but had NO idea how tiny they were going to be!  This little one stayed still much of the time, just moving a little now and then, so I was able to measure him at 4 mm.  I took a few photos with my macro lens.
 
Jeez, how exciting is this?!  I feel like I should be able to declare a holiday from work today so that I can spend my time watching developments.  Well, I actually work in a home office soooo....hard to say how productive today is going to be! 

Shrimpspot!
 
Can you believe it has been about a year since I started this project? A little background for those of you that haven't kept up or are new. I started about a year ago with a goal in mind, that I wanted to create a Zebra Pinto line from scratch, and without the use of CRS/CBS/Golden/Snow White/etc. purely Taiwan Bees and Tigers. I honestly didn't use any breeding boxes and I think that is why it has taken this long, but I wanted this process to be natural no matter the time.
 
So, I did cross BB x OEBT to create my first Tibees, I only had about 3-4 and to this day only have two males and 1 female remaining. The struggle began when they reached breeding age, month after month I thought this was it, its going to happen.But breeding my Tibees back to Taiwan Bees became much harder than anticipated. I know Taiwan bees in general took time to breed, mature, and are overall just a slower pace shrimp than any CRS/CBS/Golden/Snow White/etc.
 
My goal though, was no matter how long it took, I wanted to use only Taiwan Bees for quality, and I wanted it to be a natural occurring event. Finally January 08, 2016 my female Tibee was berried!!! Though it is her first time, and I am not sure which Taiwan bee did the job I am ecstatic.
 

Looks great!! Can't wait to see it with shrimp.

Sorry I don't have shrimp to give away but I do have some curved shears and tweezers for plants. Just trying to give back for all the help I've received so far here. Shipping is on me. Start the list and I'll pick a winner Friday night.

That's what I thought as well lol don't like my shrimp rack you can stay in the hotel down the street. Finished substrate and installed the stingray lights for all three tanks.

Top two tanks have
Bottom tank has flora max for neos.
After I finished this I thought to myself "I have a problem" this makes three 20L, one ten in the kitchen and my 40 breeder in the game room. [emoji16]
Here's how the common water space looks like behind the HMF on the shared tanks

Pretty exciting. I haven't seen a shrimplet in a while. Very curious what this one is.

Here's one of my little mamas.
