How to breed Pinto from Crystal Shrimp

A simple tutorial on how to get stunning Pinto shrimp from simple Caridina - Crystal red or black shrimp. In this video, I show you how I crossbreed F1 Mischlings with pinto shrimp to boost my pinto colony and improve my shrimp genetics at the same time! I mixed my F1 hybrids females with pinto males in a separate shrimp tank and now they start to breed!

Those lights are really cool. Great DIY project.

Great video! I’m about to take a trip away and have asked a friend to look after my tanks too, after watching this I’ll have to remind him if he sees any uneaten food not to feed them, he’s not crazy into shrimps like me so doesn’t understand the tricks of the trade

Great video sir. You have some gorgeous shrimp.

The half sided shrimp are interesting looking. There’s lots of animals who have split genes, I’ve heard of it referred to as chimera. Usually these individual animals are sterile and cannot reproduce.

I hope all the shrimp settle in nicely and you have no issues!

Quite an interesting and informative video. I'm trying to figure out golden galaxy fishbone and also to solidify my orange eye red tiger so they will be thicker lines. Fun projects ahead! Can't wait for next video update! Great work!!

Amazing also what’s the name of the music playing at 6:20

Great looking tank. The blue shrimp, are they Aura Blue Tigers? If so what is the benefit of having them in this colony?

Nice video, topic and project. Also just to clear a few things up... crystal x taiwan bee = mischlings. Crystal x Pinto is not a mischling. Crystals and taiwan bee are the same species, where a Pinto would have mariae or serrata genetics in it. As well, crossing crystals into pintos is not likely to get you much more genetic variation. We are talking about hybrids already which are much more genetically diverse than a pure species, and tigers (mariae and serrata both) are known for being extremely hardy... and are often kept in Neocaridina parameters successfully.

This is more along the lines of a weird galaxy tiger type project. Galaxy tiger would be Fancy Tiger (crystal coloring with tiger patterning) x Galaxy Fishbone (taiwan bee coloring, and serrata hybrid genes). Seems like the biggest thing here is adding in a lot more white patterning similar to crystals and FT lines but also aiming for TB coloring.

Realy cool, im thinking of starting a, chamera, halfsider tank to 🍀🦐🌿😎👍

I am pretty new in this field and just have some cute cherry red and jelly blue shrimps. Today I discovered a black shrimp in my tank and was amazed by the fact that such a color can come out from my mixed cherry and jelly group. After watching your video I feel excited to discover more. Is it actually realistic to earn here some money with?

This is my next plan once my tank cycles. I want a mixed caradina with limited culling. Any recommendations on which few kinds I should mix? I have a few idea but would appreciate your opinion.

What camera are you using? Quality looks great!

After watching this video for the 8th time. I really think I need more shrimp tanks. What's your fav dimensions and size? 80l?

[cartmancrapped]

Hello, what is your aquarium sizes thanks?

[ajkandroid]

When u do the new aquariums dont forget to make video step by step please 🤣🤣🤣

[shinucafe]

A planted tank with cryptocoryne nurri would look nice

You literally live and sleep with the shrimp
