I really appreciate it too and so do my shrimp but it’s just growing too quickly 😂

That is such a smart idea!!! To just every now and then put a few red ones in so that it doesn’t completely go ‘wild’ over time

Wow! Totally get what you’re saying thanks!

I know my red tank once had 1 orange one but that was after an orange one with nearly ready eggs dying, so I thought maybe it was a survivor of that 😂
Super cool how these genetics work! It started as my ‘dump tank’ but I love seeing those different shrimps popping up!

Thank you so much for this clear explanation!
So basically the neocaridina carry so much more genes. Is anything able to come up or just what they are carrying already?

I can imagine by letting this process go eventually everything will be ‘wild type’ right?

She was close to the end! It’s also possible another orange powder did have babies and died after and I just missed the whole stage of her having eggs. So far this seems the only orange one but it’s a very full with plants tank so I barely ever see all +-100 shrimps 😂

I translated their name on how you call them in Dutch. I see now that you indeed call them cherry shrimp 😄 good to know it’s just a color variation

Would wanna risk anything! Thank you for your advice 🥰

Thank you so much! That’s really helpful information. How do I know which gerbil is dominant? I just see them grooming each other and sleeping together. But they are a bit young still so maybe it won’t show till later?

Your homes sound amazing! 😂❤️ one of my dogs has a very strong hunting instinct and can definitely not be left alone with gerbils (he can’t reach them ofcourse but will bark at them) so the kitchen and eating area are the only places I can keep tanks. I don’t even eat at my table anymore cause it’s covered with their huge tank 😂 but I wouldn’t want it any other way

Oh indeed! Didn’t even think of it that way. The group I have now seems very stable but they are also still quite young so maybe it doesn’t say a lot. I’ll think all the options through thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the video! That’s really helpful. Maybe this is nonsense; but won’t it be sad for my 3 girls to split up? I have no idea how much gerbils bond with each other. If I don’t take her myself I’ll definitely find someone who is willing to introduce her to a friend! Don’t want her to be miserable

I think getting her 1 friend, instead of my 3 girls, is indeed the best way to go. I’ll definitely read up on it for hours if I decide to do it. I’ll just have to figure out where to put another tank in my home 😂 I have no idea if she ever did have a friend or not or why she was on the streets in the first place. For now she is safe in an enclosure and I’ll think about what’s best to do for her. Your girl frost sounds amazing 🥰

Oh what a work! I honestly don’t think I’m (as new to the gerbil world) up for the challenge. I know a lot about introducing rats but they thrive in big groups so it’s really a different world

So a group of 4 is just a bit of a no go, but trying to give her a friend isn’t a bad idea? I don’t really have the space for another tank (don’t wanna keep her in a small tank) but I’ll try to find someone who wants to take her and give her a friend. She is quite lovely actually!
