SKAshrimps Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 SKA Pure Red Line Entry GradeWe been working on our own SKA Pure Red Line (PRL) line for the past two years. We started with some Nishiki-Ebi JPRL as well as some of MananaP's Red Leg PRL. These ones are essentially the culls from our higher grade breeders but still have very solid shell / color we remove any that not very solid. You can use these entry level PRL to improve the colors of your existing Crystal Red Shrimps or start your own line. What are Pure Red Line shrimps?Pure Red Line or PRL are essentially purebred Crystal Red Shrimps that have been selectively line bred for many generations and highest quality of CRS you can get. While the traits may vary breeder to breeder, PRL generally have thicker shells / more solid colors than standard CRS. Solid red legs and well defined patterns are also common on higher grade PRLs. They also do not have any golden gene so there should be zero golden bee offsprings. Japanese Pure Red Line or JPRL is a term used describe shrimps from the various Japanese breeders - they are probably the most storied and oldest lines as most of them trace their lines back to the original CRS. They are also the most valuable as show quality JPRLs often fetch thousands of dollars on auctions there.As they been line breed for many generations, they tend to be more sensitive than more CRS - We would only recommend these if you have some experience with raising normal CRS / CBS. [/size]ParametersThese are raised in 100% RO/DI water remineralized with Salty Shrimp GH+. I also use ADA Amazonia / Africana as my substrate in my PRL tanks.PH: 5.8 - 6.4GH: 3-6 KH: 0-1 TDS: ~140 ppm Temp: 24 CGolden Bee / Snow White ShrimpsGolden Bee / Snow White Shrimps are essentially white version of Crystal Red Shrimps and will require the same parameters. We have several generation of these; all have a born and raised within our tanks. Some are offsprings from our Mosura / Flowerhead line breeding projects and have very nice solid white shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleK Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hey there, How difficult is it to get these bad boys sent up to edmonton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKAshrimps Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Fairly easy; I can ship via UPS express for around $20-25. Usually gets there next day around noon. I also make frequent trips up there - usually at least once a month. When i do, I can meet up or drop them off on the way into the city at no charge.

SKAshrimps Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 We just got in a bunch shrimps including a few lesser known Caridina Babaulti varieties from India. Fire Red Shrimps (restock) Green Babaulti Shrimps (restock)Black / Brown Babaulti ShrimpsIndian Zebra Shrimps (Striped Babaulti)Ninja ShrimpsBlue Bee ShrimpsTangerine Tiger Shrimps They are all currently undergoing quarantine and should be ready to go within a week or so! Caridina Babaulti Shrimps I always been a fan of wild type shrimps and the Caridina Babaulti complex has been around in the hobby for a very long time. They quite hardy (almost as hardy as neo's) but never really caught on as they are not as colourful as neo's or bee shrimps. But unlike the various coloured neo types, you can keep them together with neo and bee shrimps without worry about them interbreeding with either one. Babaulti shrimps are also neat because they can change their colour based on their mood or to blend in with their background. They also tend to be a bit more shy than most neo's or bee shrimps as they to like to hide amongst the plants and driftwood. They will breed in freshwater and generally have much bigger batches but small eggs compared to neo's or bee shrimps. As such newborn babaulti shrimplets are smaller and will take a while to mature. I received some large adults with this shipment, with some females green babaulti shrimp close to 3cm or ever over. There is a chance that some of are in fact "Dark Green" or "Neon Green" shrimps which is a separate species from the same region Indian Zebra ShrimpsThese guys tend to stand smaller than the other babaulti shrimps but I also find they are more active and less shy. They have black/brown vertical bands across their either body. Most of are clear but some may have brownish bodies. Ninja Shrimp A shy species that is rarely out in the open. Body colour range from red to black with white bands. Like Babaulti shrimps, will change their colour to blend in with their surroundings. Require brackish water to breed.

SKAshrimps Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Wild Type Bee Shrimp (Caridina venusta / Paracaridina zijinica?)This is a wild type bee shrimp from southern china; one of several species often sold as bumblebee shrimps. We are not 100% on the id but others have id them as either Caridina venusta or Paracaridina zijinica (formerly Caridina meridionalis)They are similar to Crystal Red / Crystal Black shrimps in that they have 3-4 coloured bands with a white / clear body. The colour of the bands are usually dark brown / black but can also be dark blue or reddish brown. They require similar parameters to CRS / CBS but as with most wild type bee shrimps, they require cooler temperatures (under 22C) If you are interested in wild type bee shrimps, we highly recommend Breeders n' Keepers China Special which has extensive coverage of wild type shrimps found in southern China.

SKAshrimps Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 price list updated! and some new photos : ) Low Grade (B/C) Crystal Red Shrimps Low grade CRS have be very hard to find recently - most asia suppliers only stock A/S grade or higher (3-4 bands). We been looking for these for a very long time! These come from Germany where they been raised in tap water so they have adapted to higher PH levels. We currently have those in our neocaridina tanks with Calgary tap water NADAL Aura Blue x Pinto Mischlings These are Aura Blue x Pinto hybrids. Most have the speckled blue heads with clear / white bodies with hints of a tiger pattern while other have a pale white body. You can further develop them by crossing back with aura blue and/or pinto shrimps. NADAL Super Black Crystal Shrimps (Low/Mid Grade) Super CBS are crystal black shrimps that have been selectively breed to increase their black coverage. Low / mid grade Super CBS usually have 2-3 white bands. Kept in standard bee shrimps parameters. NADAL Super Red Crystal Shrimps (High Grade) Super CRS are crystal Red shrimps that have been selectively breed to increase their red coverage. High grade Super CRS are almost completely red except for a bit of white on their nose / front of their head and tail. Kept in standard bee shrimps parameters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKAshrimps Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Crystal White Shrimps Crystal White Shrimps are bee shrimps with a clear body and white stripes. Still relatively new to the hobby and quite rare. Kept in standard bee shrimps parameters NADAL Blue Bee Shrimps Blue bee shrimps are a wild type paracardina bee shrimp with a brownish-blue body and several white strips. Males tend to be more clear in color compared to the females. Colour is generally not very consistent and depends on their mood and stress levels. These ones in particular have selectively bred (rather than wild caught) and have very solid white strips; more so than their wild counterpart. Kept in bee shrimp parameters Wild / Super Tiger Shrimps These are wild caught tiger shrimps that come from a specific locale in southern China. Appearance wise, most have a bit of yellow in their tail and nose and red colouration at the base of their antennae. They require clean water and lower temperatures - similar parameters as Orange Eye Blue tigers however they can be kept in lower ph as well. Blue Dream Neocaridinas These are blue neocaridinas and considered one of the top "grades" of the two development paths of blue neo's along with Blue Diamond. Blue dream comes from blue velvet which in turn came from blue rilli's. They have a medium to deep blue translucent body. Some may have a bit of black on their head.
