idk when i last did a shrimp update but it went from: i got 10 from lfs sick with a bacteria -> quarantined them for a couple of months until completely asymptomatic and no more deaths (6 remaining) -> added them back in the tank -> the shrimp started to breed because its a tropical tank and not cold water like their isolation tank -> one shrimp had the first babies (10 survived being eaten when they were small by the fish) i was excited to have my numbers up again -> the baby had some babies (one of which was born genetically much bigger and striped which i find cool, he was put in my moms betta tank) -> those babies had babies -> i have over 70 shrimp. what once was a community tank is now a shrimp tank with a few fish.

#i dont mind the shrimpocolypse i mean the baby fry are free food for the rest of the tank and if they survive that then i have more shrimp #im going to start selling them i think- right now my tank is fine for that amount i have lots of hides and you can only see about 15/20 out #chilling during the day so they're not like covering every surface but it is getting to be too many for my personal preference #my skrimps are fire and bloody mary for the most part which basically means they have high solid red pigment 👍 when i bought them-#the original 10 were sakura and low grade fire red but through breeding (not intentional breeding lol) their grest grandchildren are high #pigment. shoutout recessive and domant genes if i knew which ones were mating id love to draw up some punnet squares for fun #shrimpblr
