got a nice pic of the male tonight. can’t wait for these new shrimp to come in
thank you!I really like the markings on your latest shrimp. Tank looks good to me. Like what you have done with it. Thinking about getting one for my work office. Small self-contained unit would go good in the office. Thanks for sharing the development of your tank.
i got 4 orange from my LFS and all have died, not sure if it was the betta or died just because.My first attempt with shrimp where with an orange variety. They were not very hardy and 50% died. I then got the normal red ones and they took off. The fancier varieties seem to not do as well as the reds. Now I have a mixture of reds, blues, and orange varieties, the young from this group vary from nearly black to transparent, with red predominating. For me I like the mix, but none have yet have the nice markings yours show.
Hope you get an interesting mix with your new shrimp.
All the offspring will end up natural brown right?i got 4 orange from my LFS and all have died, not sure if it was the betta or died just because.
i used to have a very large colony of cherry shrimp (probably 50+) but i sold all of them to my LFS when i sold my old tanks too, which im bumming about cause that was a really strong colony

(got some cherries, blue velvet, red crystal, yellow, orange, white, black, and i think maybe a green too)
that all depends on which shrimp breed with which lol. i suppose in about 6 months time yeahAll the offspring will end up natural brown right?
Best of luck with that! I think there was a thread not too long ago on moving with fish tanks if that's useful.i’m going to be moving out on my own in about a month or so so that’ll be an extremely stressful and difficult time, but i want to take this tank with me to my apartment, so that’ll be an interesting transition
thanks! gotcha, i know there’s been a few over the years. it’s pretty self explanatory but it’s just rough on the livestock and the plants obviously. i’m just glad the landlord is chill with me having a fish tank (only 1 for now ) cause sometimes they charge extra to have them, but this guy doesn’t.Best of luck with that!
