Scuds?

Do you use crushed coral in your tank to help buffer the water? Or Oyster shells?

Looks like a ghost shrimp.

Selective breeding.

No problem guys

I have had problems with cherries harrasing Japanese trapdoor snails.
They keep ticcling the food to eat the bacteria, so the snail closes up... and stay closed.

Tons of info on Sulawesi Shrimp

It's not an Amano.

We had some of those same named shrimp sent to the shop that I work and abd I did figure out as well that they are ninja shrimp.

They look like yellow shrimp to me.

Do you have any crushed coral in the tank?
What is the pH?

If your asking me? No he had them full time in there.

I bought a colony of bumble bee shrimp off a guy and he had them in two bowls around 1 gal each.
They were breading like crazy with no filter or heater or tank light.
Me, I have them in a 20 Gal tank, filter, heater, tank light and proper conditions and do you think I can get them to breed? NO

Some of the Sulawesi Shrimp supposedly have a symbiotic relationship with freah water sponges as well...

So if I were to breed the "odd balls" with the regular snowballs I will not have some reverting to the pearl type at all?
