@faysalals1 @Odd Duck @Colu Thanks for the question and tags. I'm presently in a "pause" with my hobby. Lots of life going on . . .

But to this question, there are several layers of answers. 

(1) Most Rainbow Shiners for sale are not mature. Fully mature, they measure nearly the size of an adult human index finger. They do not color up (jeweled scales) until they are 6-months old or more.

(2) There are decidedly different strains. Unless you know the source, and have photos of the adult brooders that fry come from, you're up a creek without a paddle. The north-eastern range tends to appear more red / brown...

But the south / southwestern end of their range tends to display more brilliant blue...

There are actually charts (somewhere) of all the variations . . . but basement breeders mix up their own cocktails, and you'll get quite a variety.

(3) I have had a few Rainbow Shiners shipped to me F0 (wild-caught) that presented virtually _no_ color. I just cull these.

(4) When mature Rainbow Shiners spawn, they turn a brilliant pink or orange. Here's an example of just one male all fired up chasing a female around . . .

You can see in that video that certain Shiners are lower color quality than others. That's common if you do not buy from a single breeder. In my view, one of the best US breeders of quality Rainbow Shiners is @WhitecloudDynasty. Watch his videos on line to learn a lot about how he breeds, culls, and selectively creates quality strains.

I have kept a long-form journal here on the forum for a few years. You might enjoy it...

I take impromptu videos now and then. I took this one recently while mine were feeding...

I feed mine a mix: Bug Bites color-enhancing flakes once per day, and frozen mix (BBS, Blood Worms, Mysis, Daphnia) once a day. If your source is careful and honest, they can show you photos of the brooders yours came from.

Thanks for sharing it. My sister asked me to write her college paper, but I also wrote it so well that I thought I should get help from a professional. I found this  https://academized.com/cheap-college-papers website, where I bought her a college paper. If you are also in a similar situation, now you know where to go.

Edit: Thanks for sharing it.

Takes these kids a minute to get going on bbs. They spend a lot of time now wiggling all through that guppy grass and moss. 
More eggs today, again inside the canister outflow 🙄

We’re don’t know much about shrimp, but they are making babies. Most are not high quality cherry shrimp. Our water is soft, so we added crushed coral and shells. The bolbitis hates it... Amazon sword is ok... it’s just kind of a crazy fun little thing...

 

Spoiler

I would like to see a recent picture of your shrimp. And if you want to make money then there are a lot of ways through which you can make money. You can also take a loan if you are not interested in making money through other ways. I can help you in searching for a loan money app online. If you are interested in taking a loan, let me know. I will pm you those apps.
