I wanted to get some different colour shrimp to help liven up the Shrimphaus but it’s not good to mix different colour morphs of the same species as the offspring will eventually wind up as wild-type colouration. Shrimphaus already has two different morphs of Caridina cantonensis shrimp: pure red line (PRL) and more generic crystal red shrimp. Maybe it wasn’t a great idea to have both of these, but there you go. They are doing well and breeding successfully. Shrimphaus also has a handful of Neocaridina davidi ‘Bloody Mary’. The bloody marys first arrived 3 years ago and I think had one generation of offspring so those left (which have been through a lot if I’m honest) are pretty long in the tooth and I wouldn’t think be able to still breed.
So, let’s get them some new friends…
