Ron Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Here are pics of a couple PFR (Painted Fire Red) shrimp I received last week. The first pic is a female and the second a juvi male, older males are more solid red. I have a couple stunning females but my camera skills only allow me to photograph the ones at the very front of the tank. Thanks for looking.

Ron Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 wow~~~very very nice shrimp~~~breed them.....and give some to me I'm trying to breed them but I don't know about giving them away I've got 3 berried females now and I had 2 young females drop their eggs so hopefully I'll have a tank full of babies in a month or so. I'll be separating out the average looking ones and they are gonna end up starting my feeder colony and only the best will stay in the show tank. Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Nicklfire Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 did you buy these local? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 did you buy these local? No, I couldn't find any PFRs or high end CRS locally so I had to bring them in from Vancouver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well I've had 3 or 4 females drop their eggs but looks like there are 2 with eggs that are almost ready to hatch. Saddles have appeared and eggs are starting to show eyes so hopefully I'll have a wack more PFRs. I also see at least 3 more berried females so watch out for the red army coming soon.
