    Starting a new shrimp tank, what would you choose?

    I haven't researched the greens that much. I do know the chocolate's don't breed true but as you know. Neither do the rili's. I have a colony of carbon's which are great. I would either do the green's or carbon's.

    No it's a Taiwan bee "Blue Bolt" the last pic is a grade called a flower head mosura. Worth around $70 each. Thankfully the ones I have were born in my tank or I wouldn't have any. Luck of the draw for me and now I can selective breed them.
