I thought that the female in the picture was berried...turns out shes not! The eggs hatched yesterday and there are baby RCS on the glass and in the Java Moss!

I think I'm headed to the LFS to get another 10g....Hehe.

Wow, Newjohn...Nice setup! I wish I had the money/time for that big of a setup.

I'll have to wait till after college...I'm just sticking with my 3 tanks for now...My 10g shrimp tank, a 6g reef, and my 55g main saltwater tank that I'm using for raising Peppermint shrimp.

Here is a picture of one of the berried females: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c285/pufferfish_/One-Eye-Final-Pic.jpg Sorry the photo is so small, it is the only way I can get decent clarity on my pictures, because of my bad camera. I also patched it up in Photoshop a bit. I started watermarking...

Wow, a convention sounds like a lot of fun...

Again, congrats Mustafa, and everyone else here!

Those are nice Amanos, John.

They have different coloration than mine - mine are a bit lighter with bright gold stripes down their back.

Interesting info Mustafa. I like the name Caridina japonica better than multidentata.

Thought I'd start another journal for my current shrimp-only tank.

Wow, very cool Newjohn.

Have you had any young yet?

Oh yeah...I forgot too...what with graduating from Highschool and everything...I've been really busy lately.

Congratulations! A great achievement.

I used to use a Rubber-maid Tub for QTing things. Than I broke it...Punched a hole in it by accident.

Adding a section with quick reference to good forum threads: (Again, feel free to add them) Interbreeding Cleaning Behavior Raising Larvae 1 Breeding/Raising P. pugio Parasitic Worms 1 Parasitic Worms 2 I'll be compiling a bigger list....there are a lot of pages of threads to go through.

Thanks Mustafa. I'm trying really hard to learn as much as I can about taxonomy, but I am still in the 'learning process'.

I actually *just* thought of that and was coming online to fix it when I saw you're post.

I'll switch it to Palaemonetes.

A list of the Palaemonetes: Palaemonetes antrorum (J. E. Benedict, 1896) Palaemonetes cummingi (Chace, 1954) Palaemonetes hiltoni (Schmitt, 1921) Palaemonetes intermedius (Holthuis, 1949) Palaemonetes kadiakensis (M. J. Rathbun, 1902) Palaemonetes octaviae (Chase, 1972) Palaemonetes paludosus (Gibbe...

Wow, that was a fun/informative read! I'm going to print it out and add it do my 'article database' that I've recently started compiling. You might say that that article was EXACTLY what I had been looking for. I'm still not too 'good' at searching for things on google scholar, but I'm getting bette...

Good info badflash.

I found an online version here: GRASS SHRIMP

I'm downloading it right now. 30 pages long too.

Perhaps it might be useful to construct a 'database' of scientific papers on shrimp species?

I changed the topic title and original post contents to as it is now. I thought it would be a good idea to have an 'archive' thread, for links/references or anything really. I'll update this first post as I find more. Anyone feel free to add to this. Scientific Papers 1. Reference: Lowe BT, Provenza...
