Just a theory, but I think mine have grown much better since I put them on very fine sand. They seem to prefer turning sand to fish food.zapisto wrote:and my indian zebra are even slower

. Since these shrimp are sent in in mixed-species bags, it's not always guaranteed that the male you happen to find is actually the same species as your females. Yes that's right, around 30% of mine look as though they are infact Indian Zebra shrimps. For this reason I separated them immediately! I...

Are the males you got in that batch similar in color/shade or are they a paler orange? I'm not sure what sexes I have, there are a couple of small ones that could be males. The largest one which looks female to me. may just be showing signs of a saddle. Fingers crossed anyway. So far so good. :D I'...

Thanks Mustafa, I selected these from a batch of mixed colours.......mainly olive to greenish blue. There are only five individuals showing this colouration, and so far they seem normal. I do hope they are not sick as it would be a real shame to loose them. Its good to know this variety is breedable...

Does anyone have any info on this new species?
Is it a hard or soft water species?
Can it be bred in the usual way?
Thanks.

I don't have any algae issues currently, but was thinking of it more as a guide to Pearl shrimp behaviour. They obviously like a sandy substrate, but do they hunt for food like Amanos? By this I mean do they climb everywhere frantically clawing everything in their path?.........or do they just hide ...

Pearl shrimp v Amano shrimp
I've been looking at the shrimp varieties pages, and noticed that Pearl shrimps are noted for eating hair and string algae.
Does anyone have any experiences as to how efficient they are, especially when compared to Amanos.
Many thanks.

While on the subject of Indian Zebras, I spotted this little baby in my black and white tank. Has anyone else had any babies with this red colouration? It seems to be the only one out of 50 or so in the tank. Sorry the picture is rather poor..........its tiny right now. http://www.waysideaquatics.co...
