hello how are you welcome to our channel
in today's video we are going on a tour
to update you on the shallow tanks we
set up for neocaridina breeding those
tanks were moved to this new location
recently so far they all stabilized and
here's the update starting with the
black rose neocaridina shrimp black rose
shrimp come from the neocaridina davidi
line and have been selectively bred to
get their black color so far they are
doing great also bread in the new tank
and here's a barring female the eggs are
dark in color the female ventilates the
eggs constantly to prevent fungus and
infections as they are close relative to
other neocardena davidi the black rose
line comes from a dwarf chocolate shrimp
and only the deep dark black color
throughout is kept you will see in this
tank several chocolate colored shrimp
with time we will be selectively keeping
the black line but for now we are
keeping them to increase the breeding
ratio these shrimp resemble that of a
taiwan bee shrimp called the black king
kong however these are neocaridina not
caradina making them a lot easier to
breed and keep moving on to the next
tank the blue lava this is house for the
blue dream neocaridina shrimp blue dream
are a great beginner aquarium shrimp and
they have amazing coloration despite the
beautiful appearance of this shrimp the
genetics behind the color can be pretty
confusing blue dream is the name most
hobbyists use for all shrimp with a deep
blue coloration as you can see in this
tank there are some that tend to be
really shrimps the blue dream shrimp is
a product of the selective breeding of
the red cherry shrimp for different
colorations our blue dream shrimp were
bred from blue velvet shrimp and bloody
mary shrimp to produce the richest
darkest blue color possible blue dream
fantasy blue blue diamond and blue
carbon really can be the result of such
a mix
often you may get black diamond shrimps
because mixing those species may often
result in genetics that resemble the
parents and the wild type chocolate one
for a unified color it will take several
generations of selective breeding yet
the results always show some wild types
and lighter coloration selective
breeding affects the genes and make the
shrimp more susceptible to diseases and
less tolerant to changes in water
parameters from low maintenance shrimp
you get a high maintenance breed that is
hard to keep to prevent losses it is
recommended to keep the strongest
parents moving on to our favorite shrimp
the bloody mary shrimp this shrimp is
the most prolific one we have
you can see how many shrimplets we have
the shrimplets are hard to see at first
and are less than three millimeters in
size as you can notice here there is a
big resemblance to the red cherry shrimp
and that is true because they come from
the same gene pool however the bloody
mary has darker coloration kinda like
its close relative the shoko shrimp and
this can be seen from young age unlike
the red cherry that takes some time to
get a deeper coloration unlike fire red
cherry shrimp which have red opaque
coloration bloody marys are translucent
with bright red tissues you can
differentiate their color by throwing
light through them and check the
transparency you can see their insides
for culling ordinary red cherry shrimps
have an off-reddish color that is
transparent like the ghost shrimps on
the other hand the sakura cherry shrimps
have an orange tint color and the red
fire cherry shrimps have an intense red
color so all in all wait for a few weeks
until you see the full body color of the
shrimp and keep the coloration that fits
the bloody mary type okay here's a quick
update on the bottom filter using the
sponge filter equipment so far it is
still working well after three months in
the tank the only thing we would change
is the perforated cover it takes
something more fit to the inside moving
on to the yellow sakura shrimp a skunk
shrimp with clear golden line on the
back
sometimes called golden back yellow
shrimp bred from the same wild type as
sakura red cherry shrimp the neon yellow
shrimp is a unique color variant of the
neocaridina heteropedia species they
have only recently begun to be widely
bred if you're breeding yellow shrimp
keep in mind that some are higher
quality than others the more intense a
shrimp's coloration the higher the grade
it falls into those shrimps as others
neocaridina if mixed for crossbreeding
with blue shrimp or black shrimp or even
bloody mary will definitely result in
transparent ghost shrimp like and wild
type cherry shrimps it is best to breed
them alone breeding is pretty simple for
neocardena species to breed your shrimp
introduce both males smaller less bright
colors and females larger bright
coloration into the aquarium keep the
water quality high and provide plenty of
food healthy females should soon start
carrying little eggs between their back
legs swimmerettes from which tiny copies
of the parents hatch after around 30
days after few weeks you can start
observing coloration and remove the
shrimplets here's the coal tank we keep
separate for non-high-grade shrimps all
shrimps are beautiful addition to the
tank keep in mind to select good tank
mates and have fun breeding it is time
