Thanks for the support, can't wait to get offspring similar to the father.
Is there any chance you can post a picture of the red Malawa? I am just curious to see how they look like.

No luck yet.

Thank you all, I will do my best to get the offsprings to inherit the orange carapace.

Still no luck on getting offsprings to inherit the orange carapace. the father shrimp looks much better as it grows.

I am planning on breeding him back with one of the offspring when they grow, I wish I had couple shrimp with orange band. is back breeding the only solution to get this mutation appear in next generations, is there any other tips/method to follow?

A short video of the shrimp and his babies.

The shrimp is behaving normally like the other shrimp, I am in the process of selective breeding the Malawa shrimp, I started this topic at another forum showing the other Malawa shrimp and the breeding tank.

I want to share what I found in my Malawa shrimp tank, it has an orange stripe at the carapace. I took all the plants and decoration out but couldn't find any other shrimp like that. I also got couple that look like snowball shrimp. I started a topic at a planted tank forum to see if this is common ...

That is good to know, I 'll give it a try.

What will the offsprings look like if the malawa and sulawesi caridina cross breed with each other.

I am in the process of seting up Opae ula tank about 5 gallons. is there any plant,macro algae or moss that can stand brackish water of 1.010?
