Saw their "pod" before, it is very tiny, maybe just good enough to catch larva stage of shrimps, but not for higher order shrimplet, so is safe.

Just collected near hino and hino babies from my tanks to form another tank. Actually saw a vast improvement in the high grade breed true ratio and general quality after 3 generations of hinos refinement. I am hopefully that these babies will breed even better hino.



More pictures in my Gallery.

Silane,

I've been following your refinement program, I can see the grades of your hino getting better and the genetics seems to be refined further as well. I noticed more white tails, and not to mention super thick white (STW). Good on you for being patient enough to select the better genes to breed. A lot of breeders concentrate mostly on mass, while they get a lot hinos out, the white and red quality is not as good as yours. White quality and thickness is very important nowadays because a lot people can breed hinomaru but with STW, it's not easy.

I've been breeding hinomaru myself from a small pool of crs and it's not easy to get high breed true rate. Your CRS hinomaru breed true rate should be quite high with the stronger and more stabilised genes after few generations.

One more thing, your hinos seems to have good maro too. Saw one fella in the last picture with big maro. Makes me drool~

Just checked your gallery too...wahh...new bone/golden shrimp pictures updated too, wonder when we'll get to see more 'monsters' or mosura.. hehe

Btw, what is that 'candy' that you are feeding them? they seemed to like it alot. What can I have some to try?

Thanks for sharing.
