Beautiful shrimp! I only have 1 even close to your females color, and all of my males are a lot lighter than yours!
Good luck on breeding them...I plan on doing the same thing...just breeding the darkest females that I have in my tank.
Yeah that female was considered one of my lighter colored ones....but now its about equal with the top group....
I have one female that is really opaque and it almost feels like it has some blue in it....
Hmm whats the best way to describe it.....
What I mean is... let us say you were Editing Colors in the Paint Application that comes with Windows XP and you had to choose values for Red Green and Blue etc etc......Its almost looks like if you had
Red: 117
Green:0
Blue: 41
Hue: 226
Sat: 240
Lum: 55
So its mostly just dark red but with this slight hue of purple....
I have not isolated this one to breed from because Im not sure if it is sick stressed out or any other sort of condition....
Im going to spend a couple hours and see if I can get a picture of this one close to the glass....and see if anyone can spot any potential probelms with this one....
NewJohn:
I like the idea with turning on the lights in the morning....Its tough though....cause usually the sudden light change has them all zooming around the tank...males especially....and the males are especially tough in noticing differences in pigment....
Ill have to try harder....
