I second that motion.... On over feeding!

Yes, of course it is possible. :) I really hope that these guys stay around. Usually, when I introduce new shrimp to the hobby, they disappear after a while and I am the only one still with that particular species. If my population dies out due to some mishap (happened before), the shrimp is lost t...

Did you check you ammonia and nitrites? Temp? How long have your ghost shrimp been in the tank?

Here are some young Malawa...As well as an adult.

I have found the Sri Lanka to be very prolific and I have several generations of young growing in the tank now and pretty much the same with the Malawa Shrimp. I will be moving the adult Sri Lanka into a 20 gallon long this weekend as there will be so many young growing in the 10 gallon they are cur...

Hi Pat,

How are your Malawa and Sri Lanka doing? I now have young of both species....

It is likely the same shrimp, Cardinal Shrimp (caridina sp.) from Sulawesi. I also keep this shrimp and a search here will bring up some info. Here are a few photos... http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd219/southerndesert/003-5.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd219/southerndesert/034.jpg ht...

Great news and congrats.... Always fun to see new babies in the tank.

I see I misunderstood and thought you had been able to collect them. I sure would love to visit Sulawesi to see the amazing variety of shrimp and other inverts myself one day.....

About 6 or 8 weeks ago I got in on some of Mustafa's first available Malawa Shrimp (Caridina pareparensis parvidentata) These shrimp were imported from Malawa Spring in Sulawesi by Mustafa and there is more info here, http://www.petshrimp.com/malawashrimp.html http://arizonainverts.com/forums/upload...

When they mate it will be face to face grasping each other for a brief moment....

Here is the shrimp from the background in above shot, a different species by the look?

Only one of these I think unfortunately

Not as yet, but I am sure hoping to see this soon....

Another shot... different shrimp but same species (I think)

I see this in all my tanks from time to time and sometimes they are cleaning themselves or just stretching it seems.
