Most of the shrimp I purchased in this group bit the dust, but a few of the ones that look to be zebras are doing quite well and have colored up nicely. The odd ones seemed to be doing well, but only one or two are left. Definitley not green shrimp though. I'll try and snap some more photos and post them.

Some of my females died also :( I think it must have been the stress at the fish store or bad shipment. I still have my male and three females :) Let's hope for the best, we may be surprised in the longrun.

Thank god that I already have an Olympus UZ-510 when I get my RCS :D I'm gonna take loads of pics :D And Macro and Super Macro mode for the shrimplets 8) Sorry if I got off topic.

These Zebras look great. I am thinking that when my turt moves to a 100-120 gal. pond outside I can divide his 55g into like 5 different species tanks of shrimp :D But I think that is just a dream. Anyways, how much do these Indian Zebra Shrimp usually go for?

These Zebras are Breeding Machines. :D

These sure do breed well........mine are by far the fastest and most prolific breeders I've ever had the pleasure of owning.

The pic is of one of my best females with a nice yellow stripe down her back. I'm just about to separate her to see if she passes on this yellow trait.

Fingers crossed.

No not really, just did the link again, but this time using the img button rather than doing it by hand. It seemed to work fine both ways to me using the preview button.
