Mustafa, thank you for infos. Maximal larvae number was eleven at the same time(what I saw). Just now I don´t see any larvae. A few days ago I found one death individual (I don´t know if it was larvae or postlarvae) and one live postlarvae. I think most larvae died :-(. I guess larvae were alive max...

Mustafa,

can you distinquish between Caridina and Neocaridina by the photo? Do exist some eye noticeable and genus specific traits? Thanks for reply.

Mustafa, yes, larvae are still alive and their number is still plus minus the same, but I don´t know if they are the same larvae or they are another new larvae. Probably they are the same individuals because some larvae are probably in higher larva stage with roof breaked abdomen and their red color...

Hi,

today I discovered my first two free swimming larvae. I´m happy .

Algae outbreak can happen after water change. You introduce nutrients together with new water (if you do not use distilling or RO water). I have about 58 adults. Shrimp capability to eat blue-green algae is very very small and blue-green algae grow very very fast even under undetectable concentratio...

Thank you for congrats, there isn´t reason to clean and change water. Water quality is perfect - nitrogen and phosphorus is near zero level. Besides water change is laborious and expensive. I´m worry about undesirable huge blue-green algae growth after water change. I only fill up evaporated water. ...

Hi all, today morning I discovered my first female with eggs. I´m totally in euphoria. Keeping conditions: temperature 21 - 25 °C, salinity 2,0 - 2,2 %, D:L is 13:11 hours, 4 x 30 W fluorescent tubes. I frequently feed them by fish food, chicken meal, frozen tubifex worms and frozen spinach in very ...

Definitely I have one female and three males. First egg batch fell down, second also . Males are adult, they showed frantic mate behaviour shortly before female egg laying. I consider to use normally colored animals.

It is really Blue tiger . Interchange is impossible. Just now I don´t try to breed C. japonica. I keep every my species in separate tank. You often can not compare young and adult coloration. It differs notably. Young above is about 4 mm long. One of my adult female: http://ww.akvakrevetky.wz.cz/blu...

Hi,

part of my a few days old Blue tigers has problems. Walking is incoordinated, limbs are in unnaturally position and awry. Molting is problematic. The problems result in death.
