All I can say is you'll soon have some berried shrimp. I've no idea what species they are though.

I'd love to catch some of these too. The only shrimp I've caught are brine shrimp, which are more than abundant in the Great Salt Lake. It's about as hard as catching a cold in winter. Badflash, do you have one of those nets with a jar at the end? I'd imagine that it will be difficult to catch them ...

That's great news Suzie Q. Once the process starts, it should pickup quickly. Here's to your shrimp's fertility!

Young shrimp are also much more adaptable to different water conditions. The adults may have just been punished too much.

I wonder if they could survive a visit from Digger (my C. quadricarinatus). He was housed in a tank that included some Mystery snails and guppies. I watched him for a few days, every time he went after a snail they retracted into their shell and pulled the flap shut. I figured they would be fine. We...

Or just take a turkey baster and squirt water into the java moss. That should be able to expose the infant shrimp, if they're in there. Personally, I'd check the water health, and let it sit undisturbed (aside from the health inspections) for a month or so. If there's sufficient leaf litter, stop fe...

Personally, I think the link is completely within the rules, it's not selling anything, just informing.

By the way, nice job on the article.

wijnands,

With such a small amount of water, you will need to diligently and frequently check the health of the water. There is no margin for error, especially with shrimp being very vulnerable to ammonia and nitrates.

It doesn't have the body shape of the M. dayanum (prawn) that I'm keeping. But as Newjohn said, the body shape looks exactly like a crayfish, without it's claws.

And my wife thought I was bad, and I only have six tanks!

Hi Beast1961. 1 Some of your questions, in particular about RCS's has been answered (rate of maturity & color). Just search using red cherry or RCS. 2 Black sand is cosmetic, higher contrasting colors look more dramatic. 3 With out a substrate, the tank will take longer to cycle due to the decre...

If shrimp breeders were well organized, we could breed for the kwisatz haderach of shrimp!

That's very similar to how juvenile m. dayanum act. The adult shrimp are not nearly as vertically mobile (they tend to stay on the bottom).

Great pictures Newjohn! This species is #1 on my wish list.

If you don't mind my asking, how big is the tank, and how many Fuzzy Claw shrimp do you have in it?

I am going to divide a tank so that both halfs share the same filtration system and water. I'm planning on using fiberglass screen with an acrylic plastic frame, stuck together with 100% silicone (no mold additive). I will clean and soak every thing before and after assembly. The question I have is;...
