Crystal Red Shrimp Information (Care and Breeding)

That is a black diamond crystal red shrimp?? Is the double black diamond even harder to keep? hehe. I sure hope you are able to get those to breed.

They are not more difficult to keep, but they are certainly more difficult to find.

Hey Vinny,

Seems like a lot of people are interested in your CRSs'. Well add me to the list! I have a cherry tank going and I am in the midst of setting up a 20gal long for CRS. Except there is no where to get these in the states. Im up in Wi and the local pet store really doesnt cut it, so im buying a lot of plants and stuff online. Do you have any idea when you would be willing to sell some CRS? Appreciate any info

Chuck

Sorry what is double black diamond? I have been keeping CRS/Diamond for a while, have never come across double black? Is it something like the black one in my picture below?

Is there an easy way to tell a male from a female Crystal? I know I have lost 2 of the ones I received from you and can only find 3 remaining. I am afraid they are all females. Is there an easy way to tell them apart? If not, I quess I will have to get some more from you once the weather gets warmer.

Thanks

Double Black Diamond is probably referring to the most extreme slopes for snow skiing.

How does this work for shrimp?

fresh_lynny · 06-12-2006, 06:50 PM

stupid question, but what are the criteria for grading?

**gabeszone247** · 08-05-2006, 03:41 PM

Can you keep an airpump with airstone running with CRS? I just got into bredding CRS in Japan.

milalic · 08-05-2006, 04:31 PM

Not sure if that will work in the long run, but I would use either a sponge filter or small canister filter.

Cheers,
Pedro

turbomkt · 08-05-2006, 05:37 PM

I don't think an airstone will harm them, but I would think there should be something like a sponge filter to at least provide some mechanical filtration (as well as additional biological filtration).

**gabeszone247** · 08-06-2006, 02:18 AM

I got 2 sponge filters running water is crystal clean.

turbomkt · 08-06-2006, 03:48 AM

Sounds like a good set up to me.

I have abeen getting CRS' locally but they're too small to go into my 58. I have been keeping them in my 10 gallon hospital tank trying to grow them out a bit. It seems like I'll lose one out of the clear blue for no apparent reason every once in a whil. It's frustrating. H2O parameters are good, except the temp gets a little high sometimes (85* F). Are they that sensitive to heat?

turbomkt · 08-07-2006, 06:20 AM

Yes! They really like the heat in the mid 70's.
