Hi Kross,

I'm interested in the Ninja shrimp too !

My Black shrimp and Malayan shrimp changed it's colour from black to brown.
Nothing as spectacular as the Ninja I suppose.

Could you give me the location to the fish store ? Or did you import them personally ?

There was an article in the fish magazine that mentioned 8 different type of puffer fish used in the aquarium trade. I can't remember if it is "Aquarium" or "Practical fishkeeping". It talk about the puffers personality and those to avoid. Apparently, they can only be distingushe...

My shrimp tank are over-populated with scud. They are competing with baby shrimp for food. There are no fish in the tank execpt an oto. Without a natural predator, the scud population are out of control... :shock: Can anyone recommend a solution ? Does anyone know any fish out there that love to eat...

I did all my theory lesson here...

But i did my tutorial and hands-on at home.

Thanks again, Prof Mustafa !

The funny thing when I saw my Red Cherry molted, I though it was dead ! :-D First it lay on it's side. Second it "straighten" itself like a pole. Then it stop moving. :shock: Before you knew it... it's kicked itself out of the shell and swam away. What was left is a piece of transpareny sk...

I have visited these fishshop and they sell shrimps in Singapore: - Biotope Aquarium & Pets - NATURE Aquarium - Mermaid World - Petmart - That Aquarium Try calling the Singapore LFS for stock, the addresses are: http://www.petfrd.com/forum/showthread.php?t=617 http://www.aquaticquotient.com/aq_l...

Does that mean like Cherries, they need hard water to thrive ?
High pH ?

Anyway, I have yet to see them turn blue.
These shrimps are always black or dark brown.

Thanks Ben.
The scuds in my tank reproduced very quickly.
Unfortunately, the guppy are not eating enough of them.

I can't tell if I the larvae are from the Yamato shrimp, tiger shrimp or the scud.

The picture in the article is excellent, but I don't have a microscope to tell which is which.

I'm wondering if pH plays an important part in the hatching. what is everyone pH ? My tank water pH=8. kH = 4 I have yet to see hatching. Can someone tell me how the larvae look like ? I saw white creatures that stick on the glass tank with 5 legs. Is that it ? Or is it something else ? Or are they ...

My tank pH = 7.5 Does anyone know what is the suitable pH for breeding this shrimp ? The eggs are black and big. So larvae doesn't need brackish water. (Thanks Mustafa for this tips. :D :D) What's it scientific names ? Will it cross with Cherries or Green shrimp ? Strange... even my Malayian shrimp ...

Thanks Mustafa. I make a mistakes of putting freshwater gravel as a substrate. Strange but it actually raise my pH to 8 even without coral chip. In Singapore, many people use ADA soil. It drop the tank pH to 6.5 or below. Can I know what substrate are you using to maintain a low tank pH ? Especially...

Golden spotted shrimp http://tinypic.com/14vc5j My tank pH = 8.0 Can anyone tell me the water parameter suitable to breed this shrimp ? - What is the pH ? - Does the the larvae need brackish water ? It's called Golden spotted shrimp here in Singapore. Where does it originate from ? My LFS has no ide...

As the saying goes, "...less is more..."

Thanks Mustafa... I will try your method.

You are right... I'm so sad as many have died. :( I will do a 50% water change immediately. As for hardness, are you referring to gH or kH ? My kH range from 4 - 5. My LFS recommend 1 teaspoon of Sodium Bicarbonate per 50 Litres to raise the kH by 2. I tried but some Red Cherry shrimps died. So I'm ...
