Hello,
I plan to get some P.clarkii red or white. How can I recognise sex? male/female?

Do you put it to water flow, or normaly on ground? My are very shy, hiden under wood whole day. But when I put flakes on ground at evening... morning is all clear

I got finaly two A. Gabonesis. They are "fanning" water, and time to time got something to eat. Bit Is it enough? I don't see something swim in water. and they are so huge. Also frosen artemia, they don't eat. Should they eat hatched life artemia?
How do you feed them?

At other shrimp forum I found this http://ww31.tiki.ne.jp/~nishiwaki/cyshrimpindex.htm
What do you think about species?
Guess are: morph of snowball, morph of denticulata, morph of Bee, something completelly different but cool

I know. In CRS tank I can manage 5ppm using water from well on our cottage. (70miles one way)

My tap water is 40mg/l No3. That's problem. I tried denifilter, but not much succesfully. Q is if neons can handle it.

I asked same in another tread, but will as here also.
How sensitive to NO3 they are? How much can they handle?

Oh, so that's bad. I don't want to be "tortured" by NO3 as I am by CRS tank.
What about "green neon" are they also so NO3 sensitive? I have them only shortly, no breedeng yet. My tap watter is 40Mg/l NO3. Should manage 5-10mg/l. But I though they are hardy.

Thanx a lot mustafa,
can you write a few words about this "Malaya" needs(water)? As I understood, you have some experiences with these beauties... thanx.

As I understood from german text on server above. Mustafa wrote there, that they go through short larval stage. As I know "Green neon" goes directy to postlarvae. So I don't know.

Ok, here is red(Malaya) babaulti called "red back" and green simply "green". I mean this two (from wirbellose.de). Malaya: http://www.wirbellose.de/arten.cgi?action=show&artNo=275 Green: http://www.wirbellose.de/arten.cgi?action=show&artNo=120 As my german is very poor, I...

Hi all,
do you have some experiences with these species? Will this two crossbreed.
Both are cf. Babaulti, but not babaulti itself so there should be only morfological similarities of two different species. I don't know.
So question is, if they will crossbreed in same tank?

Nice shrimps,
but I don't see "high grade". most of CRS are A some B, S has 4 bands, so none seen
One of Diamons is also nice, but bestly A grade.
S and above have to have solid Red/white/black.

But as I said nice shrimps, I haven't better.

It look like Diamond shrimp (higher grade Bee shrimp) to me

Everyone needs "dark cycle" . Plant too. If you will light all day. At least plants will die. Shrimps should maybe hyde somewhere and rest, but will not be happy
