Berried Females all over the place.

 There is about to be a massive shrimp population explosion. I have berried females in almost every tank. 

Shrimp Journal- Berries everywhere- New Crystal and Velvet Shrimp

 Scott and I took a trip to Boise to see his Mom today. Going to Boise for me means I get to visit with other shrimpers, and hit up the local fish store. So glad I got to go today. 

Shrimp Journal- Moved around some shrimp this weekend- Berried Wine Red

 The OEBT are in their own tank now and out of the breeder box. Mostly they like to hang out inside the cholla wood and there's only 10 in there so the tank still looks empty. 

Shrimp Journal- Blue Bolts from Blue Crown Aquatics.

 Blue Crown Aquatics has become my new fav place to order from. I keep trying to save my tip money to order some really high end shrimp, but then they post in one of Facebook groups that they're having a special on some really nice looking shrimp. This was two pair of sexed young adults Blue Bolts and one random juvie. Super nice looking shrimp. 

Shrimp Journal Wine Red Pintos from Blue Crown Aquatics

The Wine Red Pintos are here! They got here Friday last week from Blue Crown Aquatics.

Shrimp Journal- My first berried Caridina shrimp

It's Christmas day. I've got my first berried shrimp in caridina tank four. That's the titibees/red safari culls/crs/cbs tank. It's one of the ttb's. I've seen the boys get the zoomies three times now, and this is the first berried female I've seen.

Shrimp Journal 7 Baby explosion in the Blue Dreams tank

The blue dream tank is continuing to do amazing. I finally have everything set for how the shrimp like it. There has been a baby explosion. I have a handful of adults in there, lots of juvie sized shrimp that should be reaching breeding age soon, and I counted like 40 peewee and new borns. That's just what I can see without hitting the tank with a flashlight, looking into every nook and cranny, and what might be hiding in the sponges, behind rocks, and in the plant. I'm so happy with the way this tank is going.

Shrimp Journal 6- Ordered my first real Caridina shrimp

I was super excited to start with real caridina shrimp. The aura blues are a kind of an in between shrimp. Scott let me order some supplies on Amazon. I got a couple new lights, some airline connector valves, and my first crystal red and crystal black shrimp. I love these shrimp. My favorites are the ones with more white to red/black, two little white dots on the back of the carapace in the black/red. I only ordered five of each, so it's going to be a while before this colony starts doing anything.
