Here is another shot of the unidentified species. There may be 3 of these, but I can't be sure... In the background is another species all together.

So far they are doing well, but still too young to breed. I will update with any progress.

Is this as it appears, a lack of pigment? Or is the flesh showing a "milky look"? Could just be an odd colored shrimp and I have some clear looking ones show up in my colony from time to time...

A milky look to the shrimp is not a good sign....

Nice photos and the berried female looks great! Thanks for sharing.

I have been keeping H rubra for several months and your setup sounds like it will work fine, I would however let the tank cycle and mature regardless of what you were told.

Hello Mustafa and All, Here is one of 3 shrimp like this that showed up with my Cardinal Shrimp from Sulawesi as fry.

Nice Pat,

Soon you will have little ones and it only takes about 2 weeks for the larvae to be released. Glad to see they are doing well for you. Please keep us updated as things progress.

Cheers, Bill

Hi Pat,

Very nice shrimp and I just got 20 of them yesterday from Mustafa. All were alive and well and are now happily picking about in their new home. I will start a thread with some photos if I can get them to hold still long enough for a macro shot, active little shrimp....

Cheers, Bill

In the picture the female is berried with saddle and I see this often in my tanks

Nice photo...

Bill

I find it hard to get a photo because they come to the glass when I get close looking for food

Nice Shrimp! I have 3 berried myself. These are some very active and interesting shrimp and at times quite comical as well.

Cheers, Bill
