I figure I should actually something in my member's journal instead of spamming the invert section since Tanker been so nice to set me up with one. This will be a breeding journal of sorts for my own line of Pure Red Line. I started the line around the beginning of 2013 with two separate lines: 1) Nishiki-Ebi Japanese PRL - Grade "A" No-Entry / Hiro (SS-type patterns) 2) MananaP Red Line PRL - Probably one of the first home grown PRL in Canada - Stephan has been working on this line for a couple years from the Vancouver area Although the initial plan was to keep the two lines separate (and they were for a first little while), the foundation for my current line started with my top male (and only remaining) Nishibi-Ebi JPRL, My top female (and only remaining) Nishibi-Ebi JPRL and my top two MananaP PRL females Nishiki-Ebi JPRL - Top female and male, Feb 2013 The mothers of my PRL shrimps - Nishiki-Ebi JPRL female (left) & MananaP PRL females (right), Aug 2013 As the first batches of shrimplets started growing I decided to sell-off all my regular CRS's and focusing solely on my PRL. No-Entry Line My main line consists of the above shrimps, with the goal being the "perfect" No-Entry pattern (generally what we call SS+ Grade here). Along having a thick shell / solid colors (a common trait for all JPRL), nice solid red legs and having a well defined No-Entry pattern, for me that is having a full red head that goes all the way down to the legs, and a perfectly round Hinomaru circle divided down middle with a well defined white strip run down the middle of the hinomaru, Of course you also aim for larger sized shrimps but that is priority at his stage. Mosura Line I also branched off a pair of Mosura PRL that was part of my initial MananaP shipment. The pair turned out to be a male and female and I kept them in their own section by themselves. I am not 100% sure if they are his PRL or if are hitchhikers from the SSS CRS I gotten at the time - most likely the former i had order 10 shrimps and there were 10 including the 2 Mosura ones (MananaP also had a Mosura line at the time). To be honest i never intended to develop this line - at the time were essentially culls as i didn't want any Mosura patterns in my main lines. Over time they reproduced and I also added any Mosura offsprings from my main line. In the end i decided to develop it for my friends, many of whom were big Mosura fans. Since I never really focused on them until lately, they still got a long ways. I also no longer consider them as "Pure Red Line" due in part the uncertainty of their origin and because they been throwing out the odd snow white offsprings (very nice ones but still snow white - I have taken them and started on as separate project). My No-entry line have not thrown out a single snow white. ever. Granted it could be due fact some of the headgear ones are pretty much all white with only a bit of red on the head and face. At this moment I am still unsure of which direction to take the line; if I want a traditional Mosura for a full red head / white body or to go for headgear style mosuras (SSS+ - crown, flower etc;) . I might end up going for both if I can get some more tanks set up and further divide the line : )
