Well I got some bad news, I found my original female dead this morning. She had been hiding the last few days, which seemed odd but I did nothing about it. Last night she wasn't eating so I knew something was up then and should of tried moving her back to the original aquarium. The male and...

Interesting. Yes the first one I am calling the male has created a large bubble nest 2 or 3 times since I've had the pair. The male is much more vivid in color and he is much smaller then the female. The male was aggressive in protecting the bubble nest, but with no bubble nest he is a lot...

So the up close one with his find spread out, I figure this is the male. He is the one who builds the nest. The gourami with the two black dots is the female and the aggressor of the new gourami. The photo with a gourami near some driftwood is the new gourami. couldn't get a great picture of...

I also read that the males are suppose to be the aggressive ones. Ill be posting photos shortly.

Here's an update. I got the second 20G long aquarium decorated with plenty of hiding spots and floating plants. As well as a sponge filter. The female was still being very aggressive towards the new gourami so I went ahead and moved the known pair to the new aquarium and left the new gourami...

Alright thanks for the advice. I'll try to get some pictures tonight of all of them to help confirm the sexes of each.

Hello AA members, long time no see. (Backstory, you can skip this if you want haha) I use to be a very active member of this forum and many others years ago. I just recently got back into the aquarium game. I came back to the hobby to breed neo shrimp like I have in the past, but this time do...

Hey AA Members, I'm getting packed with Yellow Shrimp in my aquarium and need to get rid of some. They are in a well established 20 Gallon Long tank. I's heavily planted. It has a pH of 7.6 to 7.8, 75f. No Co2 added. Water changes are done weekly. Fed daily with flakes, wafers, pellets...

Welcome to AA, You'll find nice family friendly environment around here.

AA Members, I got more yellow shrimp available put your orders in now while they last. I do deals on purchase of 10 or more yellow shrimp. I always include 2 to 3 extras and plenty of java moss and hornwort. PM me if you're interested. Thanks, Ben

still Plenty Of available And Doing Deals on All Orders over Ten Shrimp. Peace N Love Ben

I still have a few packages left and this week from June 17th till June 23rd I will be doing 20 Yellows for $50. First come first serve on this deal. Peace n Love, Ben

Thought I would post a couple pictures of some berried females. Flash and no flash. Really great, strong, color. Peace n Love Ben

Hey AA members, After a long time of being away from the hobby I came back and with shrimp once again. My first batch of Yellow Neos has been coming along greatly, breeding fast and strong. From this great success gave me a colony large enough to start passing on this great bloodline...

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been posting. I've been super busy. My colony is doing great and growing large. I think I might add some fresh blood in there soon. I will be starting to thin out my colony in the next few days so I will be selling some juvies. I'll post something in the...

Yeah I was honestly pretty surprised with the speed as well even after doing this for years. I hear some people waiting up to 6 months. It helped that I started off with a strong and large 30 shrimp colony.

Well I woke up today with baby shrimp in the yellow shrimp tank. They are still really small but will try to get some pictures. From when I use to breed this is the fastest I've gotten babies from purchase of original colony. It's great. Now it's time to focus on my next two aquariums for my...

I had a naturally planted tank using sunlight and soil covered with gravel SMS the tank flourished.

Yeah. To be honest if you don't know what it is and you're worried about it. I'd suggest removing it, maybe throw it in a jar or another tank. Let it grow a bit to get a better idea.

I've also seen people just top off with no water changes with success. I personal only do 10 percent a week and also zero deaths. But that wasn't the point of my post. The reason I bring it up is when I saw him doing frequent 75 percent water changes as well as jumping them from tank to tank...

I think they just went through a lot of stress with all the changes in a short period of time. Shrimp like clean water but love stable water so I would turn away from water changes over 20 percent.

Im not 100 on this but from the first picture it looks like a snail to me.

Thought Id post a couple pictures I took today of the yellows. After having these puppies for 2 weeks I have 7 berried females. Surprised how well they are doing in such a high pH, around 8. Peace n Love Ben

Ive seen people have success with minimal and maxium water changes. Shrimp like stable but also clean water. Having a feeding and cleaning schedule you stick to will be a good first step in gaining stable waters. After this you can work on specifics.

Yeah it sounds like you need to strengthen your blood line with shrimp from a different source. The normal life span of shrimp is around 2 years so your genetic line is just growing weak. Unless you've made changes to the tank that would effect them adding fresh blood is all I can think
