Red cherry and Blue Dream/Blue Diamond can mix together? Will crossbreed?

blue dream & blue diamond is the same shrimp , you can't mix different base color of neocaridina type shrimp together as their offspring will revert back to wild form.

can neocaridina live and breed in caridina shrimp water condition
from my understanding
their GH is a little bit high right??

p/s:
plan to use salty shrimp bee mineral

Mine live together with gh of 4-5

Bigboyz, your CRS died but was able to give a batch before it died. Very puzzling that it died, it means water conditions are poor. And shrimps don't berry if conditions are bad. So your case is very puzzling for me, although I have heard of some cases where a berried mother died while carrying her eggs. Just confusing.

And though I'm not certain and theorizing. Caridina Cantonensis (ie the CRS shrimps) have many grades, from A/B/C, S/SS/SSS, Mosura. The higher the grade, the more sensitive they are to water fluctuations and the more difficult to breed.

So let's say I mix some Mosuras, and some Grade A CRS. And if my tank water conditions/quality/maintenance is not good enough for Mosura to breed, but it may be good enough for the low grade CRS to breed.

Because I think this is what's happening to me. Tiger shrimps are Caridina Cantonensis - they will cross breed with CRS/CBS. And while I've seen my Tiger population explode from 5 shrimps to almost a hundred, but my CRS have never berried even once. This is the only explanation I have that my CRS are probably S grade and the Tiger I have is probably C grade.

Lower grade Caridina Cantonensis = easier to breed.

I'm not sure how else to improve my tank conditions except to even further reduce the WC portion (currently at 30%).

my blue velvet is berried!!!!! wuuhooooo

Is it with another BV?

Davido, I have a batch of 10 sumo prl. 2 died the rest are ok with some berried female. I think possible the 2 died due to weaker than the rest? Possible also I was cycling another tank. It had a funky smell while cycling. Might be the bad gasses affected the 2 shrimps? Still very new and learning 😀

Btw how does a tiger c grade look like?

we'll see when it hatch

Actually its not a Tiger Grade C. I don't think Tigers are graded that way. But I think the ordinary Tigers (which I have) have not gone through selective inbreeding which leads to the higher grades. Tigers have higher grades too - such as Blue Tiger and Orange Eyed Blue Tiger which I know are very high grades. but they are still from the same Caridina Cantonensis.

Here's pic of the Tiger.

Nice also. Do u hv some to sell 😆

No I don't at the moment, because I'm still building up my population and many are still juveniles (only 1 cm). But eventually I will have and will PM you. If you want it now, you can get it from aquacult on lelong. Actually I bought my Tigers from him and he has a wider variety. He breeds them, and he have many varieties, even the high grade ones which I dare not buy.

And actually I spoke too soon. I just went down and saw my CBS is indeed berried

The berried females are always hiding during the day, so I guess that's why I never see any berried CBS/CRS. I need to look harder at nights with the lights off.

Noted. Thanks bro. And congrats on your berried cbs... Btw is that mc at the front?
