Not to rain on your parade because I'm glad you got some cool variety, but to much cross color breeding can lead the all to be brown, which I think is cool, but if you want to keep the variety the best you can do is try to keep the shrimp purebred, and if they turn to brown I heard you can revert that by haveing them breed with more colorful shrimp. Again sorry to break some bad news, I just want to see you have a variety of colorful and cool looking shrimp.

With mixing colors, the first generation babies will mostly (if not all, well for the ones that cross breed) be brown, Because the color genes are separate. But in future generations a small portion of the babies will be a mixed color, then some will be one color, some the other and a good portion will be brown. The colors in these shrimp are all recessive, not sure if it's simple recessive (one gene like albinism in most species) or multi gene recessive (like noses in humans). Your results will be all over the place depending on what heterozygous (hidden) traits the starter shrimp might have too.

Careful, chloramines do not dissipate like chlorine. You have to add water conditioner for that. I’ve been using a hot tub water treatment (that you add to your hot tub to neutralize the water before safely dumping the water). Much cheaper than the aquarium versions, takes care of Chlorine and Chloramine, and no issues in shrimp only and community tanks. It was C$20 for 500ml and you dose 0.1ml/gal so it could last me a lifetime! It’s been great watching you since you were new, learned a bunch and hope that you have many more successes in your future! Much love from Canada.
