I agree, very nice pics! Now, on to the 1,000,001 questions about TLC&F of these guys. What about the care and feeding of these guys? How about attitude? Most Macrobranchium tend to be scavengers with a penchant to make sushi/sashimi out of any fish or invert they can lay claw to. Are these nap...

Some type of stripe on the back is very common among shrimp species. Even within the same species some individuals will have a stripe while others won't. The "Blue Shrimp" are a type of Neocaridina...most likely Neocaridina denticulata sinensis. They breed readily with Red Cherry Shrimp an...

The shrimp will be fine with that PH either way. N. denticulata sinensis have a wide range when it comes to PH.

While there are shrimp diseases out there, which could be introduced to a tank with wild-caught, imported shirmp, most of the time it's adverse water parameters that kill off shrimp. Two of the most common killers are too much food (which deteriorates the water) and disturbance of the biological fil...

Thanks for the info.

Thanks Jackie!

Now some "red claw" shrimp with the red tails would be nice since I have never seen those.

Take care,
Mustafa

Thanks Jackie. *Any* pictures are fine. I don't expect professional quality pictures anyway, just pictures where I can recognize the shrimp and some of its coloration.

Oh nice shrimp ;) next month there is here around the breeder KAQ selling again some, I hope, in Braunschweig. So should get some too ;) last time I met him get some Caridina babaulti var. malaya :) - two have them having eggs too ;) Visit germany? So can bring with some ghost shrimp ;) if you come...

Why aren't there any cool algae-eating shrimp that are indigenous to the U.S.? Seems like all we have are those creepy-looking fairy shrimp or ghost/glass shrimp. What a bummer. -Naomi Hi Naomi, That's a really good question. The US is, however, THE hotspot of crayfish diversity in the world with s...

I've seen C. serratirostris being sold by Arizona Aquatic Gardens. They *are* expensive, but they're pretty cool-looking. -Naomi Hello Naomi, AZgardens never sold C. serratirostris, they just advertised (and still advertise) with the Picture of C. serratirostris and its name but sold other shrimp i...

You're welcome! The Red Cherries are hardier than the Crystal Reds, but under the right conditions both will breed and fill up your tank.

Take care,
Mustafa

Nice pics. They should be as easy to breed as the Red Cherries. I'll get some of those shrimp later this year when I am in Germany. Since they are a German breed, you can't get them in the US.

I'll try to get some better ones. Oh, the shrimp is from Peru, that's all we got to know.

Hi Jackie,

Any more pics of your shrimp, including the red-tailed red claw shrimp?

Mustafa

I have never seen what you are describing before.
