How about some taiwans? Here is my 60P treasury 😀











Feeding them... Amanos just there to start the party 😀



ps: i never thought i will have something which is more expensive then an ADA set with glass stand Solar and a GHL Profilux 🙂 Over 100 Taiwans there in this 60P tank.

Show off!!! 🙂

My Taiwans just started to show potential with hints of blue bolt and quite a few wine reds. I would love to have shrimp like yours though........maybe another year needed for me!!

Viktor, I hate you 🙁

It's an aquascape and also an interesting test. We started this tank earlier and a few weeks after the start we've got a massive algae attack. Soft water with GH booster in there with CO2 and lots of light, and we did not used carbo or other algaecide because of the shrimps. Everything was fine there, til we figured the opened window behind the tank cooled down the water to 18 celsius and the ph wa shocking low 5.9!!! All taiwans were fine there, but the algae hit very quickly.

Once we fixed the temperature and added in the GHL comp to control the CO2, pH to a safe 6.5 for the shrimps every algae disappeared within 15 days. So was a nice test to do. Now the 150W HQI, which is more than we had with the algae time, not causing any algae there as we control the CO2 injection. Never used pH computer before, but funny how much this care for your back in some cases.

Now all females are pregnant again so i am waiting for another 50 new shrimps in the next 6 weeks.

Wow Victor, they are beauty's

 

[viktorlantos]

Yup they are amazing. You can't get this quality under a massive investment in PRL.

Thanks to the easy breeding the taiwan prices fallen a lot in the past year. So you can get these kind of beauties in a fraction of the cost of a PRL CRS. And the color and quality is equal with a nice PRL. No matter how much light i shoot their color is so solid that you never see transparent ones there.

I know your not interested in selling here Viktor but how much would these Ruby's KK and blue bolts sell for in your shop in GBP?

 

[viktorlantos]

Since we're not sponsors (yet) i only can tell how much they cost in average in Germany these days. Between 20-50EUR/piece. Before the winter there was a large discount from most of the breeders. Not sure how much these days, but probably shipping is not an option til spring if you look for similar ones.

Thanks guys. what amazing pictures.
And ive been wasting my time looking on shrimp forums.
Shrimp keeping has certainly progressed since the early days.

 

[viktorlantos]

Now as the new forum engine support larger images too without blurry them, here is one from today 🙂

 

[LondonDragon]

Here's my shrimp and including a berried I found last night. Sadly all my photos are too data heavy for photos ..another time lol.

 

[Kakarot]

These are a couple of my cherries, I started out with ordinary cherries and selectively bred them until I got to this stage 🙂

 

[kadoxu]

These are my first ever shrimp...




Don't worry about the algae... that was shrimp and nerite snails day 1... they are all gone by now (the algae! lol)
