The babies are growing fast. The largest is 10 mm. long.

Hi there shrimplovers I need some help to ID these new shrimps. I bought 5 of them a week ago. They were sold as "Algae Shrimp". But I'm pretty sure that they are not. My own bet is that they are Macrobrachium lanchesteri. The fish store kept them in a tank with nothing but gravel. Some of...

They are allready eating bloodworms:

Hi GB The bumblebee dropped the last 2 eggs (or shrimplets) 1-2 weeks ago. I haven't seen any shrimplets yet, so I'm afraid she just dropped the eggs. I still have 5-6 bumblebees left, 3 males and 2-3 females, and all of them looks healthy. It's just between autumn and winther here in Denmark, and t...

An update. I noticed the first of the egg-carrying females without eggs more than a week ago, but haven't been able to find any shrimplets. Besides the Red Claws the tank contains a breeding group of Red Cherrys and 1.1 Trichopsis pumila. The Gouramis has been looking very happy and wellfed for the ...

They are predators, with a catapult like mouth: http://hoopermuseum.earthsci.carleton.c ... ern6b.html

Recently all the smallest shrimplets dissapeared during a couple of weeks in my RCS breeding tank. I discovered this little 1 inch long larvae two weeks before it transformed into a dragonfly. http://www.aquabo.dk/img/aqua43-2/insektlarve_06250003.jpg http://www.aquabo.dk/junk/07080002_guldsmed.jpg

Today I moved some of the Red Claws from the tank.
There is now one male and five (5) females carrying eggs.

GB you were right.
I now have 3 females carrying eggs

This is a picture of the third female a few days before she "laid" eggs.

I don't know any Scandinavian shrimp forums.
I hang out at http://www.akvariesiden.dk. It's a general aquaristic site - not just shrimps.

I have heard from others, that interaquaristik.de is shipping to Denmark.
Maybe they will ship to Sweden too.

She is still holding on to three eggs

Just a little update and some pictures. The female is hanging on to the eggs. Todays i discovered this second smaller female with eggs :) http://www.aquabo.dk/img/redclaw/08220063_female2_with_eggs.jpg The two females with eggs and the dominant male has become more dark in the color. The claws on th...

She has dropped most of the eggs overnight.
This morning the water temperature was 26,9 degrees Celcius. It has probably been warmer last night.
She is only carrying three eggs now.

is a color morph of the Chinese Algae-eater, Gyrinocheilus aymonieri.
They reach a length of up to 10 inch and they eat baby-shrimps.
