Hello Everyone.
This s my first post and i hope ye can help. I started off with 2 shrimp 6 months ago and have countless now, i actually have started using the tank as a grow out tank for my mbuna up to an inch to thin out the numbers. My cherrys are still breeding so they don't seem to be stressed. I also have 3 amano shrimp in with them. Recently I noticed some oddballs among the shrimp, i have a very yellow shrimp which i havn't seen in a while but i managed to catch and separate a jet black female carrying what looked like greenish eggs.
Now i have not added anything in months so definitely not something that came in as a passenger. I'm going to try breed her but any ideas about it. Is it likely yo be a mutation, am i going to be rich ?
