Hello ! As there had been some discuss some days ago about Tiger shrimp - here at http://www.crusta10.de/index.php?sideid=news_de is an red Tiger to look at. Although that shrimp is a little milky in body it seems to have really red stripes and not black stripes. Is this also an stressed normal Tige...

Hi ! In Hannover museum I have seen the Blind Cave Fish - very nice :) and need no light, good for enery saving :) - I think your Cherax papuanus catched the fishes, because they are big and seems to be a delicious meal - very small fishes or small shrimp gonna be ignored for bigger Predators. So I ...

Oh, many people keep them together with shrimp and fish - without problem. At time the three Cherax are small - but anyway I want to prepare a bigger tank for them. I think 1 metre for an couple should be OK. Perhaps I find some nice Rainbow fishes to stay with. I have to see how they behave for the...

Oki, Sorry, :oops: that's not so complicate. Just last year there had been in Germany some dicussion about bumblebee shrimp and Red Crystal crossing. Some people say they gonna do , some people think they wouldn't do. Although, the bee shrimp on the photos above look mostly black-white and less oran...

although here some of the bumble bees look simillar the one O thought that it would be mixed ones. In case they really mix together it's not best, cause there is more mixing in species that we not surelly know yet.

Hi ! Anyway, I don't think it's that easy... first of all - we cannot be sure how close the relation of Caridina sp. "Crystal Red" as an mutation of Caridina serrata (estimated but also not sure) and Caridina cf. breviata "Hummel"(bumble bee) is. So there would be a lot of mixing...

Well, they used the night for digging around their stones - for luck they are to small to dig out the plants ...
Until breeding they gonna have to grow a lot

Hi !
To compare- here is a good picture of Asian Alpheus microrhynchus by Chris Lukhaup : http://www.crusta10.de/index.php?sideid ... rie_id=124
Body, Exes is simillar, but the Hand of Jackies shrimp differs.

Sure, I think just cause of the long arms the eyes are surely completly different.
But metabetaeus not stay in salty water?

Hi ! Today arrived 3 ~2cm long Cherax papuanus, although while travel their water get cold, they do fine now in their tank. I put them together with Red Crystal and Neocaridina denticulata - they started to make their place under an stone. I think they gonna be nice crayfish, special as I can see th...

Hi Jackie !
It's a nice shrimp, but I don't think that it's a snapping shrimp simillar to mantis. - cause it cannot shoot with it's long arm like snapping shrimp should do. It's more like an Macrobrachium-

Hi ! Well as its M. cf. mirabile it's not easy to keep them, if not take perfect care for the water they not breed and starve. Last saturday I could get a group of 10 für 25 Euro - but as I know that it's a so sensibel species I decided to wait until have better equipment to give them the conditions...

Hi ! I also got some white Pearl shrimp (Neocaridina) and some of the Nominat Form white Pearl is breedet from. They really do fine at 21 °C and 27 Litre tank each species. Perhaps your one got ill at the store where you get them from. I also had been having some trouble with shrimps baught in store...

Hi Janis ! It's not easy to keep that CPO (Cambarellus patzcuarensis var orange) - I gonna get some in late summer, but I heared about a lot of trouble with that crayfish. Many people loose their whole population of that shrimp not knowing why. And that crayfish liketo stay colder for some time. Bea...

Oh, sad !

What water condition that shrimp accept most? That kind of shrimp lives in the mountain and perhaps need not to warm water with a lot of oxygen.
