Got me some new shrimp!

Post by ingg »

Got a package today with some Crystal Red and Crystal Black shrimp!

Wish me luck, hopefully they can breed out and can be shared out in the club. These are some pretty high grades (think Ghazanfar's if you noticed them in his 90p), and in a tank by themselves, so hopefully....

Yeah, maybe a little bit, but I am interested to see the black shrimp. Haven't seen those in person before, but a picture will do for now. ;-)

I'm interested in knowing what the kids will look like from them being mixed... I know the reds are just a color form of the blacks, but what happens when you raise them together? Will you still get a relatively even mix, or will the original black dominate? I'm only used to seeing people selectively breeding them seperately.
Best, Corey

Supposedly 1/2 red 1/2 black sort of thing. I hope to be able to say "This is what they do for me" sometime soonish. ;)
