Sadly, still looking for horny males as my tank is having a lesbian party every night. Made a mistake of choosing the ones with the biggest body frame and best color, thus resulting in only females.

nice reds you got there. mind showing a full tank shot?
Need something to scratch that itchy hand of mine.
Don't act smart. Be smart!



Hi, i woud like to know if its good to put rocks? As rocks increase GH right? How you gonna control the GH level?
Thanks for sharing, Nice FR!



Coming soon, still trying to figure out how to transfer photos to my laptop. Thanks.
Spend quite a bit on them but the quality from GC was worth it!
Bro Nav, Thats the reason why im seeing you this evening! Cant see any berried females when i packed those FR up.
What rock you are using bro? Test it with white vineger see if it alter the water perimeter.
Waiting to see your full tank shot.



Just picked up a bunch of male shrimp from bro Nav. Hope they are horny and start to mate! Gonna aclimatize them while i take a shower and watch a movie!



Updating with some new photos taken.
Anyone know where i can find a low profile 2ft tank with min 40cm width?

Hmmm, I see the blueish "male"



Yup, its like he went fight night yesterday and came back with blue black all over. But then, i like that purplish tint.
Anyway, thanks alot bro.
Haha, someone in Europe actually tried to stabilize the blue black and called it "Sakura Royal Blood". You can google and see them





nice FR. they cost quite alot but its worth it for the colour and the huge size i must say. i bought quite a few too.![]()



Thanks bro. Hoping to score some Painted Reds. Gonna set up a new tank for them. Deciding if going planted or rock scape.






Somemore photos.
My prettiest red.

With regards to the 4th photo posted, is this a low grade Painted red? Can see all the legs including the swimmers are red. What do you guys define as cracks in the body? When i shine a light at it, could not see tru the exoskeleton, which i presume is that the color on the body is deep.



Found my first berried mama!
But some questions, should the eggs be slight yellowish tint white in color? How long will she carry the eggs?
Yes colours for FR egg is what you describe, will take 21-28days to see baby shrimp out
