Setup complete...

So, after moving tanks around and scaling down and then back up again I think I am where I want to be (...more accurate; what I have time to look after).

To fill some of the tanks I set up (again) I got some really nice shrimp from Michael Nadal, Heinz Wippermann, Uwe Zeitler, Stev Kolditz and others. Here are a few....

Probably the best yellow fire neon I have seen live. 
I hope I can keep the quality high!

Green jade.

Caridina sp. Nemo bee female.

Stev's ghosts. Really interesting!


16 x 30 litres and 12 x 50 litres should be manageable for me with job and children. I have let go of all fish to be able to do fewer waterchanges and not have the trouble collecting and breeding live foods.
The rack is the good old home-build one with LED lights. Not the fanciest setup, but it works. More about the setup in a later update.


12 of the tanks are dedicated to wildtype(ish) shrimp. Of course I select on my Aura Blue, but they are not crossed with any other species.

Caridina sp. Raccoon tiger is a very nice wildtype...



The wildtype tanks holds these species:

Caridina cantonensis - Tangerine Tiger
Caridina cantonensis - Aura Blue
Caridina cf. cantonensis - Red Tüpfel
Caridina trifasciata - very variable strain - blue, striped, non-striped etc.
Caridina mariae - Blue wildtype with backline
Caridina mariae - Greenish wildtype with backline
Caridina cf. babaulti - Stripes
Caridina venusta
Caridina sp. Nemo Bee
Caridina sp. Raccoon Tiger
Paracaridina haivanensis - Princess Bee
Paracaridina sp. Blue Bee/Schoko Bee

Nice zebras!


The fancy-type tanks holds:

Neocaridina davidi - Green Jade
Neocaridina davidi - Orange Sakura
Neocaridina davidi - Blue Dream
Neocaridina davidi - Yellow Fire Neon
Caridina mariae - Red Tiger
Caridina mariae - Red Tiger OE
Caridina mariae - Deep Blue Tiger
Caridina mariae  - Royal Blue Tiger
Red Taiwan-tank - Red Blot, Red Wine, Red Ruby, Red Ruby Extreme, Red Shadow Mosura
Black/Blue Taiwan Tank - Blue Bolt, Blue Shadow Mosura, Blue Panda, Kingkong, Kingkong Extreme.
Pinto-tank - Red and Black Zebra/Multistripe
Backline-tank - Red and Black Skunk/Backline.
Steel Red
Steel Blue - Michael Nadals Crazy Blue strain.

A lot of pictures need to be taken and/or uploaded but the Neocaridina and Paracaridina pages are correct.
