          The color in the picture is the actual color. These are my oranges. My yellows are in another tank. I am not sure if they are pumpkin, sunkist, jolly rancher. I think that I want to call them GTO Judge Orange. LOL

          There are some pretty creative names for freshwater shrimp but that's nothing compared to the names that people give coral. I used to be big into reef aquariums. :)

              Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
              Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
              Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

                      Thanks guys.
                      Yeah, for now they are all in the same tank and doing well. I have not lost a single shrimp yet.
                      The only ones that are breeding size are the oranges and the 2 SSS CBS. I have a 40 breeder in the garage that I am planning to set up once I get the motivation. Once it is set up I will transfer the OEBTs to prevent cross breeding. I have another 10 gallon setup now, but the Fluval Shrimp Stratum is not buffering PH after only a couple of months. My PH in that tank is 7.6 an that is with 50/50 RO. I need to change out he substrate in it soon so that I can transfer the Orange noes to it. I am just not sure what substrate I want to use for it. I would like to use something that will keep PH around 7.0. I was thinking of using Red Sea Flora. Anyone have experience with this substrate?

                        I've used the Red Sea Flora Base and it did ok, but with tap water it broke down relatively fast.

                          EK,
                          How long did you keep it in that tank? I was at Fish Ranch II yesterday and was talking with the owner. He was telling me that the Red Sea Flora in his planted display has been in it for 3 years and it still looks good.

                            I had it for a little over a year... as for the breaking down I mean the buffering aspects.
