smicko Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 .Hi all, just thought I would see what projects people have going. It could be new varieties or just increasing the available quality. I'm currently working on green cherries, blue cherries and always trying to improve my fire reds but my favourite project at the moment is the red bolt. Show us what your all up to.

jc12 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I was thinking of improving my CRS line and was just about to start selectively breed them when disaster struck. Totally gutted when a panda, a few mischlings and half a dozen CRS died over the last 3 days. I suspect my rainwater tank was topped up with tap water and I did a water change which caused the deaths (my rainwater tank is connected to town water and auto top up when almost dry). Didn't have a huge colony to start with and now that my numbers are halved, I'll have to not cull but breed and grow the colony instead. Not happy now. Nice shrimps btw.

smicko Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I had the same issue with my crs, i got rid of all except the sss and then lost some. It sucks but it's a learning curve lol. Selective breeding can be fun and shattering at the same time lol. Cheers mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryToucher Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Sad to that @jc21 I've got myself a 2 foot planted tank with around 10 blue rilis, plus about to set up a 29l nano to house endlers and Yellow Cherrys. Steering clear of caridinas until autumn next year cannot afford to run a chiller lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISSY Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Nice shrimp... I've got some of them at the moment, working towards black tiger. I also did have a black King Kong growing up but my KH was too high so he died. I couldn't believe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISSY Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Black KK unsexed is worth $80 or so, OEBTs are worth $100ea unsexed approx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litigator666 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 10 of these would be good are they that expensive??? might need to learn injecting dyes on shrimps to get big bucks. I'll do fluorescent coloured one and one like rainbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo89 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I've got some average to high quality red cherrys but lost heaps over the past week or so, any chance this is because of the warmer temperatures or am i doing something else wrong?

BRISSY Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Could be due to the high temps [MENTION=10706]Robbo89[/MENTION]. Especially because they are in a small tank so it heats up easily (if they are still in that tank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Greens don't breed true YET so I don't sell them but they get closer with each generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
