you are absolutely right...but you are not a beginner with shrimps...you are a senior shrimp keeper who knows how to handle sensible cases.
those guys recommended for me as a beginner with CRS to keep 1 blood line only and learn how to keep and breed them...once experienced, selective breeding with other blood lines may follow...at least this was their recommendation.
Thanks Wojtek for calling me senior shrimp keeper :)

And moreover a guy like your caliber I wouldn't consider anything except than an expert :)

Once you or any one is planning to travel between bangalore and delhi may be we can exchange some of our brood line to have a strong line :)

Maaz simple concept the bigger the better - better the water stability.

I keep them in 3 tanks, two- 1.25*1*1 and one - 1 cubic feet tank, with big sponge filters and weekly water change and daily varied diet.
About breeding pairs its hard to count but in S+ crystal blacks I have 8-10 females who does the job for me and in S+ crystal reds I have 6-9 females who does the job for me.

And the last line -'how many tanks you have to keep single Breed...' I couldn't understand..

@Wojtek don't you measure the tds or microsiemens?
