jumpsmasher Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I originally took some quick photos of my Pure Red Line "culls" for a sales thread a while back and since I never got around to posting that thread (and probably won't be able to for a while) I thought I would share the photos here instead. Those who have seen my shrimp tanks know that I been working on some PRL's for the while and got rid of my standard CRS colony to focus on these guys. These are mostly F1's & F2's from my original Nishiki-Ebi & MananaP PRL's. They not that greatest in terms of quality as they are just my "culls" and also because the photos where taken with my cellphone. I have my breeders sectioned off in same tank but wasn't able to get any good photos of them at the time. Enjoy!

jumpsmasher Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 And you call them your culls. Looks great! Thanks! Well it is all relative... : ) I have an idea of what my target is and any one that doesn't meet those targets get put into the "culls" section. Manage to take some quick pics of the "breeders" earlier today. the lighting on the tank caused the some blown highlights / overexposured white but I think should give an idea of the differences between the culls and breeders There is a couple of top notch males and females in this group so the plan is separate them even further and to pair them up on their own. That is once I can free up some more tanks space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpsmasher Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Great colors What food are you using ?{Tips ,Secrets] I think It is mostly due to genetics and selective breeding but I use about a dozen or more different foods and supplements that I rotate daily; For this particular group it currently includes the following (in no particular order) : Benibachi Red Bee Ambitious Lowkeys Ultra Supple Lowkeys Hiden-No-Esa (Secret Food) Benibachi Kale Tablets Barley Pellets various powdered baby food (Benibachi, Ebi-ken, BorneoWild, bee pollen) Baby Spinach Hokkaido pumpkin Ebi-Ken Han Benibachi Bee3 / BeeMax BorneoWild Stout Mosura Gravidas various color additives (BorneoWIld White / Crimson / Benibachi SP-Max H) Mosura Tonic Pro For the adults I usually feed the staple / color type foods 2-3 times a week, growth type food, barley pellets & kale in between and baby spinach once a week. I prefer the Benibachi / Lowkeys food as they come in pellet form so it is much easier to break up into smaller pieces if need be. Also most of them are fairly soft and breaks up quickly in the tank which makes it easier for the younger shrimps get at as they don't have to fight their way into the "shrimp ball" that form with most harder foods.

jumpsmasher Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Some new photos to share - I move them back to my place and separate my main breeders (no.1 / no. 2) and culls (no.3) into separate tanks Some more photos of the PRL in the cull tank And one last one from my "no.2" group - the very best from this group will eventually go into my "no.1" breeding group Edited June 25, 2014 by jumpsmasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
