Long story short I have been keeping a group of shrimp - some back story here
http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f129/chocolate-cherry-rcs-with-pics-319623.html
They started as Fire Reds then were all eaten by Scarlet badis and some predatory nano fish. Then Reddish Brown I call Auburn. Then those passed and I found I had shrimp and they weren't all dead.
Then found just a couple and they were Brown black with a hint of blue (had lots of babies, didn't cull. the darkest male died and now there are mostly tan, bronze, red and Blue grey, a few blackish brown.
I wanted to try breeding back some darkish red with a hint of brown and with the Dark female and add in some Blue Velvets (their color came from bright red shrimp)
Anybody do any of this craziness?
I was wondering about taking these and seeing what comes about.
