New Fish for the Week 12/13-12/19 - Breeding Project Challenge

[Fish Folk]

Looking over the most recent post from @Robert on the CoOp species list, my eyes fell on Green Jade Shrimp.

These popular neocaridinas can come in a variety of shades and intensities…

To breed out a colony, be sure to carefully look for berried females…

There are loads of videos on how to breed neos. My advice is pretty simple: (1) Use sponge filters (2) Do NOT keep fish with them (although possible, and often done, shrimp do not multiply as freely with fish)

I’d personally love to see a tank featuring red-leaved plants loaded down with Green Jade Shrimp.

Good news: everyone wants to buy shrimp. You won’t get rich, but you’ll be able to serve satisfied buyers nonstop.

Have you tried to breed these out?  If I am not mistaken, the line is not really straightened out yet and throws lots of colors.

I tried them once last year… but they all disappeared on me.

Thats unfortunate. Hope it works out for you if you try them again.
