Blue bolt, a different kind

Made by my 11 years old son, he is also very interested in this hobby.

Extreme BKK berried

These extreme BKK seem to breed slower. With spring coming, hopefully they will breed better. Haven't spot any berried shrimps for the last 2 months and got two berried (maybe more) after an early February storm.

She is berried again

So the breeding has resumed after a 2.5 month winter break. She is berried again by a extreme BKK, or maybe a pinto in the same tank. What will I get this time?

Wine Red are hard to feed?

I've thought so myself too, and they are harder to be food trained than other shrimps in my experience. However, with the right condition and good choice of food, it is not impossible.

These shrimps were moved to this tank two weeks ago, they didn't pay any attention to introduced food in the first week, but slowly they get to know what it is and how good it tastes.... then this happen.

The food in the video is the MK-Breed Red Diamond, see this blog for more details.

So, what are these two shrimps?

Some berried Taiwan Bees

My blue bolts

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

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.

 

Berried BB Mischling

How convenient to see that she is berried ;-)

Finally got some Blue Bolt

My 10 years old has been asking for these ...
