Re: My Yellow Shrimp

Thanks guys.

Nacra i dont see any yellow or white blotches. Some of them are nice and banana yellow, some are a more faded yellow. I think i'll seperate the faded and try to keep the banana yellow line.

Re: My Yellow Shrimp

Are they like the reds, the darker red the older they are?

Re: My Yellow Shrimp

Im assuming they'll get more yellow as they get older. Otherwise all the 1/2" ones arent the banana colour.

I have a RCS with a gold line running down its back. Any ideas why?

I'll take more pictures as they grow. They should grow fast like the red cherries.

Re: My Yellow Shrimp

Re: My Yellow Shrimp

Nacra, what other colours do you have?

Hmm... i'm not too sure i understand your question. But if you're asking about N. Hetropoda, then only Cherry Reds and Yellow. The only greens out there i believe are C. Babaulti.
There seem to be 2 shades of yellow, one really faint and one more intense (like in your pics). I'm still not sure if its prehaps because of gender? Like female cherries tend to be more intensely colored than males, or if its just a different color morph.
I'll post a pic of my yellows with that white spot when i get home tonite.

If you're asking about the colors of my other shrimp, I do have other shrimp like Bees, CRS, striped babulti, and tigers. so many other colors...black, red, blue, gold.
I'm desperately working on my gold eye blue tigers. I'm down to only one female... if she croaks, then it's all over =(

Re: My Yellow Shrimp

Well.. I took some pics.. The white dusting is quite visible on some shrimp. But all almost all my yellows have a white spot on their cheeks.



this one in particular has been dusted pretty white:


I might try to breed out the white to try to get a white shrimp... we'll see

Sorry, yes i meant other colours of shrimp. The females are nice and yellow, the males look like ghost shrimp with just a hint of yellow going down their back. Do you have any of the tigers for sale yet? Or pictures of the striped babulti. I havent heard of those before.

Mine dont appear to have the white spot. It might be that mine are younger and the post develops as they get older. Its all guessing on my part, this is new to me.

Re: My Yellow Shrimp

Nope.. none for sale just yet.
The babaulti's are slow to spawn and their young are very fragile.
The gold eye blue tigers are even more fragile. a lot of the young don't survive past the first week.
I'm still trying to find out what i'm doing wrong.

Here's the stripes. It's more commonly known as Indian Zebra Shrimp:


here's my last female gold eye blue tiger:

Re: My Yellow Shrimp

I have Babies!! They are tiny, so photos arent going to work. I'll take some pictures when they get bigger.

Nacra, any luck with the Gold Eyed Blue Tiger?

[nacra99]

Re: My Yellow Shrimp

Congrats on the babies!
Hopefully they'll reproduce like rabbits for you.

My Gold Eye Tiger just released her batch of eggs. I see some shrimplets around the tank.. but the real test is whether they'll last the next 2 weeks.
Fingers crossed!
