Yaay ~

My lone female snowball shrimp is berried so excited !!

Just a question though, do different breeds mount each other?
I saw a tangerine tiger mount my berried snowball I've never kept different species together and didn't know if that was common.

Anyways here is the picture. Enjoy ! Yaaaaaay

Tangerines are Card. while Snowballs are Neo., they will never breed.

What kind of lighting do you have? Do all your snowballs glow like that?

She looks as if you are keeping her very happy in your conditions. Congrats!

TT's are aggressive shrimp, so it was probably attracted to the pheromones in the water. They seem to try to mate with anything. lol.

Beautiful shrimp! Snowballs are so underrated.

This tank was a saltwater before and the light was for it. It's a Innovative Marine 8 Watt 14000K SKKYE LIGHT LED Light. It might be the blue LEDs that are making them glow

You should! They are very animated and a joy to watch

All thanks to you !

I see. They seem a lot more 'well-behaved' than my snowballs actually

Beautiful shrimp! Snowballs are so underrated.

They are. I was just lucky enough to find some for sale on TPT from Soothing Shrimp.

When I first started with shrimp in 2005, the snowballs were the "it" shrimp to have. They were very soughtafter...sort of like the higher grade CRS today. It's a shame that their popularity dwindled so much over the past few years. If I had a neo tank these would be on the top of my list.

One of the very unique features of the snowball is since the body is translucent, the eggs are a bold white and easily seen. (Hence snowball.) If you were to have a hybrid, the eggs would be any other color except for white.

+1 They seem to have lost some steam since white/goldens have been available. Both are pretty, but very different in my opinion.

Haha thanks, Bought it from a member here on TPT so I can't take much credit on the size of it, just the new growth

Thanks! Yes they are lovely shrimp. Females really stand out because of how white their saddles and eggs are.

Just curious, why are their eggs white and are there different grades of them?
