If I were Heng Wah I would actually isolate these "jaguars" and try to see if they breed among themselves. That's the only way to see if they are fertile F1 offspring that can produce fertile F2 offspring. A lot of animals will hybridize but only produce infertile offspring. Mustafa rathe...

I had simliar experience on wood shrimp and actually also Amano. I once raised the CO2 level to try to make an emersed plant survive in my tank, and my wood shrimp and Amano started to die a few days after the CO2 adjustment. The wood shrimps did act weird before they died, they kind of became even ...

Re: Just some shrimp pictures

hmm so there is Cherry, CRS, Blue shrimp. What type of shrimp is this one? It was sold as 'red-nose', although it looks little bit different. The usual red-nose has sharper nose. That particular shrimp in the pic didn't have red on its body until very recently, and it kind of starts to look old. I ...

I guess you could put them into a styrofoam box and take them as a "carry on." That's what the German shrimp hobbyist do every time they catch shrimp on vacation abroad and bring them home. Alternatively, you could just put them into your luggage and check them in. Mustafa That's how I 'i...

Hi Max, Welcome to the forum! N. denticulata sinensis in general are very prolific and can outbreed other species easily. That is the reason you are seeing more of them. As to why you are seeing more "Red Cherries" than the wild type (I don't like "Taiwan Blue" since there is no...

If the PH goes too much below neutral the Red Cherries will show stress one way or another. Mustafa Mustaf...
