This line has pretty good colouration, however as a note of warning, the line is not very stable yet. They would produce all patterns (S/SS/SSS) of babies, although most will have the same quality on colouration.

Some new PRL that came in
I have a shrimp breeder friend who contribute about 10 tanks for this line to supply me. He would select the SSS pattern ones with good colouration and keep them aside for me and export the rest to Japan (lucky Canadian shrimpers).

Procambarus Clarkii sp. "Ghost" Mating
I don't know much about crayfish. A few friends often asked me to import some for them as I know a pretty serious crayfish breeder in Taiwan, so I have seen more crayfish than I wanted ;-)
These came in couple days ago, and right after a long journey in their separated bags, this was the first thing they did after put into their temporary home before going to their final destination.
I was told that female cray with single claw would be reluctant to mate as they play an important part in the mating. You'll see why in this picture. The male has to grab the female the entire duration. Sort of a forced action, isn't it ;-)

The latest dream blue
These shrimps are about 60-70% breed true. Some babies will be less blue and you will get some carbon rills or midnight rilis in the offspring too.

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?

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.
