I sucked at tigers

What I mean is I suck at breeding tiger shrimps, don't get me wrong ;-)

I've tried a few different setups and water parameters and none worked well. They (mostly OEBTs) would breed but baby survival rate had been terrible.

So I gave it another shot. Got 6-7 BTOE/Royal Blue and 3 OEBTs in a 5 gallon tank with akadama. I didn't lose any shrimp in the 4-5 months they have been in the tank. One OEBT got berried about 3 months ago and I think I finally broke the dry spell..... the babies have survived for about 2 months now and I don't think I lost many. And now more are berried.... could it work this time? I'll wait and see.

This particular one seems to be a royal blue?
