Picture dump!
 
The quality isn’t amazing because these guys are tiny and I’m taking these pictures with a 5S, but I’m getting some really interesting variety and I thought I’d share. 
 
Many will be boring tangtais but a couple are really promising.
 
Clear with white stripes

 
Pretty eh

 
Clear with red specks

 
Getting more interesting

 
Black?

 
...green? With white stripes?

 
Nice blue with stripes

 
Whatever this is, I’m excited

 
I also saw what looked like a blue steel but couldn’t get a picture.
 
That’s it for now! I’ll post more when they grow up.

This i also know that at f4- f5 have good results.
Yes somes look blue when they are small but turn on  black when grown.

Ok .
You use a lot..
I dont use plants and not need that depth.
I will try first with lower substrate as some breeder uses .
And see how this will going.
I order it yesterday.

Hello Nicpapa,
I use GlasGarten environmental soil and love it. I would suggest using it. You will not be disappointed. 
I have used it for 1 year now and my Aquariums still hold a ph below 6.0 with RO water remineralized with SS GH+.
As far as cycle time, and the amount of Aquariums you have you should have no Problem seeding the Aquariums you choise to use GG soil in.
 
Kind regards,
JonRon

Same do the ebay stuff.. .
They get rust and they are new... not over a year.
I remove the metal and put some gravel in there , it does the job.

-Once I get my rack these will go into a 20L. Will put some in my main tank aswell.

update
Taiwan and pinto tank go very well, i have 80+ babies...
But they are grow very slow.
 
 

 

 

 

 
 
Crs are over polulation on two 100lt tanks

 
Cbs are 200+ from 4 shrimps that i start.

 
 
f1 tibee x pinto , tibee x crs, tibee x cbs
 

 
There is bad thing i have 20 tanks , and i dont have a space for shrimps.

The same think,,,  

 

I am in Tx so I feel you on the heat.  Personally I wait till the extreme heat of the summer is gone before I order shrimp/fish.  The cold packs exhaust in little time.
However, I see lots of others ordering year round.

-weekly 10% w/c today. played around with s9 camera some more
-updated pics on f1 shadow pandas+others
-berried black zebra released her clutch today. got about over half a dozen f1 blueish zebra from what i could find. couldnt really get a good picture of them. may selectively breed them, im not sure yet.
-the other berried blue bolt should release in around 2 weeks from now
-may get some mosura ebb, but dont think they quite fit in this tank so im not too sure atm.
-btw, is anyone adding iodine in their tanks? im not too sure of the benefits of it, but its included in my other remineralizer that i use.

I  move the tibee to a 50 liter with hybrids.
In the 100 liter i loose the babies of the tibee, i dont know something in the water.
Also see some  planaria.
And i want to risk it so i move them , and add no planaria in the 100.
Now its empty.
 
Here are the hybrids...
There are a lot..
From tangerine tigers, cbs , crs..
I got in F1 spoted head .
From taiwan i get 3 king kongs .
Also tibee x tibee give only tibee... not hybrids, i know that because they are new and small.
