Ch3fb0yrdee Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks for the update! I enjoy reading it and the blog Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks mate. I locate the hard places so folks visiting those countries can go there themselves! Thanks for sharing! Those JRB are absolutely stunning! They really are. JRB is currently where it's at for me. I just love them so much. My JBB just release their clutch and I'm seeing babies running around the tank. Once they're a bit older i'll snap a few photos and make a post. Thanks for sharing this and your blog. I'm not familiar with JRB, are they not a pure line? You're welcome! I hope you've enjoyed it and enjoyed the photos.Japanese Red Bees (JRB) is the predecessor to PRL. I few members from the Taiwanese community were able to get their hands on JRB a while back and bred them for the mass market but at the same time they diluted the genetics of the JRB and has since really degrade them quite dramatically. If you were to ask for PRL in Japan, no one would know what you're referring to as Pure Red Line is a name coined by Taiwanese Farms. Japanese still breed their Red Bees as pure (not mixing) and so when I got these guys from Japan, I continue calling them Japanese Red Bee as a way to differentiate my bees from regular PRL. Honestly, I feel like PRL was a very successful marketing campaign to relabel good looking CRS as PRL to sell for more profits. A majority of sales you'll see will label their shrimps as PRL (not saying everyone doesn't have PRL) but admittedly calling regular Crystal Red Shrimps PRL does fetch higher prices than they would if you called them CRS. I've seen exceptional CRS, but a CRS is a CRS and not a PRL. Single exceptional specimens doesn't qualify the PRL name on which it used to stand for. . Those 2 photos above are clearly not PRL, and continuing to call them PRL (even if you call these culls or low grade PRL) is a mockery to the name PRL. And so, you can see why the name PRL doesn't mean much. There's always going to be those PRL you see photos of that are exceptional, but photomanipulation isn't hard and usually you'll only see singlar photos of such nice shrimps, rarely will you ever see the entire colony. This is because it's easy to find extremely beautiful shrimps if a large enough population size is provided (ex. farms). If you're interested in the discussion of PRL, JRB, and CRS colors, you can visit.. http://shrimpkeepersforum.com/forum/index.php/topic/8013-prl/page-2#entry98292 (Very good discuession where folks are talking about the characteristics of PRL/JRB/CRS) http://shrimpkeepersforum.com/forum/index.php/topic/7941-prl-quality-characteristics/ (Very good photo representation of what to look for and tips to identify good PRL) Folks there are pretty straight forward and don't care for much politics so questions/answers are a bit less skewed. There's nice over there, similarly to folks here (actually a few members frequent both). Hope this helps. Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch3fb0yrdee Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks for the info....no how do I get some JRB in Canada . hmmm... I don't know... There's some folks in Canada but I don't know if they're connected to the Japanese market. If you come to cali I can share with some once mines breed out. enjoyed the lowkeys visit. Subscribed to the blog as well. Lowkeys was awesome. Actually, any shrimp specialty store is awesome. Glad you enjoyed the write-up and photos. Last but not least, some photos of my own PRL. I have my own American born and raised PRL so I have to show them some love. Originally Xin/Feather Mix but ehhh.. lets just call 'em Fan's PRL going forward. How do you guys feel about red-legged PRL? Some folks have white-legged PRL but the red is so sexy to me. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch3fb0yrdee Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 A few more photos. Lighting conditions is poor due to the heavy plant coverage at the top. Leaf coverage from my Legendara meeboldii Pink basically encompases the entirety of the tank so my flash and flash equipment is rendered pretty useless. Photo is taken on tripod without flash. Hope you guys enjoy. Going to devote some time tomorrow to visit my parents home so I can take some photos of the Japanese Red Bees and Japanese Black Bees. They've colored up considerably since introduction to the cubes and the JBB even released their clutch and babies are growing happily!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thank you! [emoji4] I still have a lot work to do with these tanks and the subsequent tanks below before the entire setup is done. This rack is taking so much time but the dual cubes only need to be planted. I boil the IAL for 10-15mins then I drop it in. If I'm feeling fancy I'll fold the leaves inwards to form a makeshift shrimp tube shelter. Babies, especially newborns 1-2weeks old, like to crawl inside when the IAL starts to decay. This trick is really useful for such things as breeder boxes because of the limited space. ANBU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch3fb0yrdee Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nice, I enjoy your blog Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks bro! I appreciate the support. I probably should start doing more blog entries that actually contributes to the blog and helps folks learn but I hate typing things up. LOL!! aww man, forgot to go back and look for a response to my first guess. Dude your guess was sooo close. I commented back and was waiting for you to finish it up. The temperature guess was pretty spot on, but it wasn't much to do with the tank itself but moreso the topoff I was doing. I had to resort to moving the bottle of RO water to my wooden cabinet because the floor gets too cold at night. ANBU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
