Thanks.

I have answered this question a few times here before. I think others took a shot at it a few times, too. Try searching. The color traits in bee shrimp and crystal reds follow simple mendelian rules.

Thank you for the pretty pictures

Have you found your Hinos to breed mostly Hinos or are just a few like the parents?

The substrate looks like "ADA Aquasoil Amazonia." Lots of people in Asia (and now here) seem to use that for their crystal reds, although I am not sure how appropriate it is for the long term. I've never tested it, so I can't say anything about it.

Good question. Let's hear what aquafever's experiences are. From what I hear their offspring are mostly or to a large degree non-hinomaru and that's why their price is still very high in Japan. I might be wrong though since I am not speaking from first hand experience (I don't have hinomaru crystal reds).

It's not easy breeding hinomaru.
ADA soil is good for plant and shrimp.

Hi aquafever, do you find that most of the babies from hinomaru parents will also become himomaru shrimp?

Thanks.

Great pictures! Thanks again for sharing. What does the "W" stand for?
