ooh congrats

just curious about the orange shrimp, I didn't know there were any true orange shrimp, I've heard that most of them are only temporarily orange from what they're fed before they hit the shop. What species are they?

I like........plain black rabbit?

They look to be plain black yes, but only added them tonight. Will be able to have a better look in propper daylight. Will get pics asap pik of the orange shrimp. I know they were certainly orange last week and still are now. But will fnd out soon enough. They were just tagged as orange shrimp.

oooh, it's one of the newfangled sulawesis, shiny ^^

shame the site says they need bw to breed

 

[stezatois]

yeh its something i am planning on trying if i can get any of my shrimp to berry. I have those, amano and wood and they all need salt to breed. Surely it cant be that hard, i mean brine shrimp need salt too lol.

there was a good article that detailed successful breeding of amanos but the link is broken. I'm kicking myself for not saving a hard copy and most of the google hits for amano breeding lead right to that same link >.<

Maybe it'll be repaired soon - Breeding Yamato Shrimp
