Dream Blue Update

The F1s are getting berried now !!

Sorry for the bad pics, they are in a breeding box that is growing some algae.

Update;
2013/07/30: There are a lot of F2 now in the breeding box !!

Some berried Taiwan Bees

Mischling and her babies

Early stage egg colour change on a berried golden mischling.

And some of her babies,

My blue bolts

Is she berried? I find it really hard to tell due to their thick blue shell (a good thing I guess ;-)

Randy's Line

Need to give this line a name. It's not pure red line but I really like the quality. I have two non-PRL lines going for this, this is the higher grade ones. I'll name it Randy's Line - Mosura X





 


And this is the second line, I'll name it Randy's Line - Mosura A
   


The main difference is that the  first one I don't introduce golden, they will be line bred to get even better colouration.


The Mosura A line is from lower grade and crossed with golden. The quality is still not bad, you should see them in person to compare.


Also, I have two other pure line going on CRS as well, and you can see why I need to build a 20 tank shrimp room on top of the 15 I already have ;-) (I will transfer some existing tanks to the new shrimp room but not all).

MK-Breed Z for tank setup

 

MK is a close friend of mine, he has inspired me a lot on my shrimp keeping hobby. He gave me some pre-production sample for his line of products to try out. This one in particular is for tank set up. I'm using it on a few of the new tanks I'm setting up to gain some experience.

I've been using his line of shrimp food for a few months now, I'll write more about it but I have to say I'm very impressed so far.



The following in the main show tank in the shrimp room (location-wise, not so much to show yet, as I won't do much 

    

1. Spread some on the bottom
2. add some substrate (ADA Amazonia)
3. spread some more,
4.  add some more substrate
5 . Done


 Tank is cycling, I'll update this blog with more update, and compare the tanks with this products and without.

 

So it has been a while, what am I up to?

So it's been a while since I updated this blog. My shrimps are doing well, just always been busy (pronounced: lazy).

A small update is I've been working on the new shrimp room in my house. Thanks to my wife who has been so supportive to this hobby of mine. She propose to clean up a 8'x12' room in the basement so I can have most of the tanks in one spot.

I'm using 2x4 racks in this room mainly, and here are the rack build in progress.



 


And the room with 2 x 15amp dedicated breakers plus the existing wiring. I have almost 3 x 15 amp to place with (that's like 4500w ;-).

 


It doesn't take long to have the racks built,
