Got these bad boys from Shrimpnmoss. Send him a PM to get you on his waiting list!

This female is nicely saddled. You can make out the individual eggs there if you squint. Almost time to get berried.

Got more pics coming. :thumbsup:

some how my pics NEVER look like those...no matter how close I put my camera to the shrimps....lol

Extraordinary. Are these neo's I wanna keep them with some CRS.

 

[dhavoc]

they are awsome hardy shrimps. got mine from shrimpnmoss also. had one drop fry a couple of weeks ago and they breed true, barely visable to the naked eye but already tangerine colored. second female is now carrying and a third is sadled as well. i keep mine with some fire red females and they complement each other nicely. they are not neo's according to shrimpnmoss, but supposedly a tiger color varient.

I call this one, "The chase".

From what I've seen after just a few days of keeping them, the younger males are lighter in color than the older ones and the females are the most Tangerine in color, as seen in the first pic. Am I right Howard, or do my shrimp just need more acclimation time? lol

Nope you are correct. Like most shrimp males are lighter than the females, although you can easily get some very nice fully orange males. Once in a while you'll get a nasty looking one probably one or two per clutch. I usually cull those out. I will say that 90% of my F1 and F2 babies are fully orange.

These will not cross with Neos, and they are suppose to cross with Bees and Tigers. I have not personally have them breed with my CRS or Tigers nor do I plan on it. I'm sure someone will get brave and try some cross breeding. I personally do not keep enough tanks to be able to carry out that experiment.

Glad to hear that you are having babies. Good luck...they grow S..L..O...W....

Germans think they are either Caridina Tupfel or Serrata....but who really knows...they were only discovered in S. China at the end of 2010.

 

[speedie408]

That's it for tonight. Once I get berries, I'll post up the preggers female. Should be pretty soon cause she just molted earlier and the guys were swimming like crazy all over the tank.

 

[shrimpnmoss]

good luck with your berry Nick......if you are really lucky...some females carry HUGE clutches....Neo size clutches...

 

[madness]

Amazing photographs as always.

 

[james0816]

Absolutely amazing photos. How bout some info's on the camera and such to pull off these wonderful shots?

 

[dxiong5]

Great photos as usual Nick! The shrimp look great, maybe I'll have to try this type as well

 

[Cynth]

Fantastic pictures, beautiful shrimp. In that second picture you can even see the little "hairs" on their heads.

 

[speedie408]

Thanks guys! BTW don't PM me about these shrimp, PM shrimpnmoss. lol

As far as camera gear: it's a simple point n shoot....... kidding.

I shoot with a prosumer camera, the Canon 60D. My lense of choice for all things shrimp related is the EF-100mm 2.8 non IS Macro.

 

[zachary908]

Awesome shrimp.

Fantastic pictures as always, Speedie!

 

[ren]

[speedie408]

The female is BERRIED!

 

[HiepSTA]

congrats, beautiful shrimps! this is my first time seeing a "tangerine" tiger, are there any tangerine tigers out there with bolder stripes like a regular tiger?

Yeah....we know better than that.

Wife has a DSLR with macro lenses but I just can't figure that out yet.
