Any updates on this? Did anyone made it?

Thanks

How many of your Adults are Striped ?
What % of your young are striped ?

John,

I have not paid attention to that. I have been so concentraded in my breeding efforts that I have overlooked this.

I have had the same thing happened to some of my older crays from different species. I think it is something with age...is might be because their time to go has arrived.

-Pedro

The substrate is garnet. I have three more females carrying eggs, two orange-brown and one orange. I must have 12 babies from the first batch and 7 from the second batch.

I am in the process of writing what has been successful for me and what not.

Mustafa,

I have more. I will see how they look. Is it bad if the rostrum got broken?

-Pedro

John, It should not be a poor hobbiest grading guide. If you get a new pattern in a shrimp, it probably will be expensive for some time depending on how easy it is to breed the shrimp. I get what Mustafa is trying to do, he basically wants a grading system for patterns that in Japan they are not pay...

I have seen CRS from Japan that are all white, that only have red head, just certain lines and different shapes of lines. They are actively working on different patterns. They do have their grading system and they are above SS-SSS grade for the most part.

I got this shrimp from Puerto Rico. It is kinda hard to know if it is X. Elongata as I was told.





Thanks

I thinl having the CRS guide on the site would be great. I am not sure why we should have an American version when the CRS breeding for quality, patterns, etc was started in Japan. It would create more confusion. Unless someone in the USA breed CRS with a very distinctive pattern, I do not see what ...

This is from the second batch:




There is one that is very clear in color. I could not get a picture of that one.

Cheers,
Pedro

Finally the updated picture:




Enjoy,
Pedro

Very nice.

I have to say brown with blueish tint. I have one that looks very similar to yours.

-Pedro

I have seen a female carrying eggs again. She has around 10-12 eggs.
