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.

Isaacgoh,
The genes of has became stronger after adding better genes from famous Japan breeder for each generation. More and more has white nose, more and more has white tail.

Can to share your hino pic? How high is your breed true rate? Hope to exchange some pointers to get better hino with you.

Just setup a Golden CRS tank, will use them to cross with White Body and Hino, hopefully, can product special head pattern with white body. I guess this is the aim for CRS hobbyists now.

Those are Hikari canivirous pellet, they like it a lot, snails also come to join the meal.

Hi,

ADA Aquasoil, Africana -- my new love. Old love is Amazonia.

ADA Aquasoil, Africana any difference in properties from Amazonia besides color?

[silane]

Africana is baked red soil, it is hard compare to Amazonia. It has less organic elements then Amazonia.

Africana more stable compared to Amazonia in terms of the PH swing?

Hard to swing, the pH is at 5.0 !!!! Thought my pH pen is spolit, but after measuring with 3 different probe/meter, I can comfirm it is around 5.0. They seems happy in that low pH.

But my bee shrimps, I think is wild caught has some death in that low pH.
