Electrokate Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well I survived my moving, that was not awesome. NEVER MOVING A REEF TANK AGAIN! Big thanks to everyone who helped, especially when it got stressful. Since the move I am trying to reestablish my freshwater shrimp tanks, and lost some strains but others are fine. I was wondering if anyone in our club has Neocaridina species they are breeding and want to sell or trade for coral or other shrimp, and curious to hear if any neo breeders have experimented with crossing snowball shrimp with more colorful varieties. Very tempted to throw a snowball female with a carbon rili male as i suspect genetically the rili trait is dominant, perhaps incomplete dominant, but I think the snowball trait is also incompete dominant so I might get a blotchy ugly mess... or I could get carbon rilis. I wouldn't cross a cherry with a yellow or blue, just curious how these all white/colorless individuals do with other morphs. I lost my female blue dream and carbon rili shrimp and all my regular reds, so looking for bloody mary reds and carbon rilis, have plenty of snowballs, frags, and can trade plain old greenbacks. So... who's breeding shrimp locally? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerk1985 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I dont think he does much neos though. Ive got a few neons kicking around. I might have some carbon rilis to part with soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. I have tons of Caridina, but almost no Neocaridina. No Bloody Mary, Blue Dream, or Rilis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a better source for Neocaridina and Caridina: www.alphaprobreeders.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrokate Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Haha, I had the opposite results with breeders. I won't order from Alphapro again, though I did get my snowballs from him, the ones that survived his disastrous shipping did well. Shrimpusa was great in communication, packaging, speed, accuracy of description, size of animals sent and they threw in a couple extra. It's too cold to ship I think and I lost my blues, reds and blue rilis in my move, so wondering if anyone local has any to sell or trade? I only have the neon yellows and snowballs right now and the yellows are just recovering from the move so I can't trade them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack-the-reefer Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 There was a guy in battle ground that was breeding several different varieties. Search for "the shrimp rack" on Facebook. I'm not positive he's still in business, but it's worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
