Hello all. I have had mischlings for quite some time. Well they started breeding like rabbits and I find myself countless times throughout the day trying to find my treasures. Well yesterday i saw what looked to be a shadow panda. Very crisp black and blue bands. Pulled out the magnifying glass on this bugger since he was just hatched and I can see bright orange or red eyes on him. Could not get a picture that wasn't fuzzy because of his tiny size but hopefully he will make it and i can snap some photos when he gets bigger. Has anyone ever heard of such a critter?

I've seen BB that have red eyes as babies, so I'm going to guess that it is a common occurrence in TB.

Most babies have red eyes orange eyes. very normal

This is true and I believe to be a common occurrence among shadow pandas. You can check out my blog linked. I have a picture of a very small, newborn, shadow panda with the orange eyes. It's since grown up and lost the orange eyes.

Also, the blue on it might fade you will not know if it is a true shadow panda until it reachs juvi stage. Colors change durring growth.

I have had about 4-5 that are in juvie stage and kept the good blue. Also one blue bolt. a couple kk, and a couple wr

Nice, I just had 2 drop babies, but I have them in a 48.8 planted. I have count 5 WR 3 Pandas tons of Mischlings and 4 BB. I have 57 more berried females should be dropping in the next 2 weeks

57 more berried females!! You have a factory or what? :-D

48G affords you space for LOTS of shrimp!

 

[ch3fb0yrdee]

Sweet Jesus. 57 berried female is insane. You have an army.... I am very jealous!!

 

[sbarbee54]

Yes it does, I am so glad I did the 48.8 mr aqua. Yes when they started getting berried I stopped counting at 59. So i say I had 59 berried, there were probably more as 2 more of my WR pandas hit adult hood and berried right away, as well as 3 more BB. so probbaly more. I only keep Female mischlings in the tank with all my tb.

I stare into the tank for hours a day just watching...... i will try and get a new pic tonight to add to the thread I have on it. The ne Nikon D5200 replacement gets in today

 

[dtrea2662]

I know about the staring. It is a bad,bad,evil addiction/sickness and i only have my shrimp in a 20L. I just sit and try to find new babies and watch the little colonies bicker, chase, steal, and hide from one another. I get wrapped up. Especially when i should be doing something else more important.
