Hello Everyone
I wanted to start this thread, so, members could share Photo's of there RCS.
They are not the best, I have ever seen. But, they are alot better than what I received in the Mail.

The only thing that is realy red is her Tail
I hope you will share Yours

Great pictures everybody! I espeacially like Yuccapatrol's second pic.
I agree, Newjohn, you have some very interesting rock shapes and formations. I may have to try some out myself.
Hopefully i'll be able to add some RCS pics soon
Hmmm. I just had a thought. Maybe we could have a "Shrimp of the month" Contest? Everybody who wanted to enter could email in their pics, and then maybe the event organizer would pick the top 5, and then there would be a poll to vote for them.
Sorry....I get too many ideas lol. If I get any positive replys to this I will start a new thread for it.

Some of my shrimp will have a tan colored line down the back, but some will have a blend of tan and dark red, making for a rusty red stripe. These are my very darkest mature females.
Part of me wonders how much benefit I'd get from selective breeding, as it seems that all of my largest, most mature females get "super" red when carrying eggs. Makes me wonder how much the variable expression of the red coloration is due to the shrimp's general fitness, maturity, and breeding cycle?

Hi John
My males are almost colorless or pale red.
Not all my females are as red as the ones above.
I started my RCS colony 10/3-2005 with this eggcarrying female:
I lost count on the number of generations I've reared so far.

Update
I managed to get a photo of a young male.
This is the most red my males get.

Even if you account for that there is still variation in color intensity among the various females. You can see differences between populations where selective breeding for super-red was undertaken and populations that were left alone. The selective-bred populations have a much higher number of the super-reds. At least that's the case in my setup. We'll see how it goes, though. The final confirmation of the super-red being a genetic trait will come if someone manages to breed a super-red strain that breeds 100% true.YuccaPatrol wrote:Makes me wonder how much the variable expression of the red coloration is due to the shrimp's general fitness, maturity, and breeding cycle?
Mustafa and everyone else
Do your Males have any color ?
Almost all of my clear males have been taken out of my tank.
And the remaining males all have red markings.
The light drowns out some of the red, The lines are Red.
I will try to get a better Picture, to show this.
Does anyone else, have males with color.
