Interestin Malaya

This is so far one of the most interesting (color wise) of my Malaya Shrimp. I have a golden colored female, blue, and one reddish. The males all are what I'd call typical from reading up on them, but this shrimp sure is different and where the other females I thought I'd share...

Very nice, thanks for the picture.

Do you keep these shrimp seperate or are they in a mixed tank?

They are being housed in their own 10 gallon tank. In the beginning they were also with some very small Indian Zebra Shrimp, but have been seperated now that they are growing up. I got the IZ as a gift and had no where to put them at the time so they were housed together until I could cycle and mature another tank.

The tank is only just over 2 months old, but they are doing great. Noticed another of my females is also showing the beginnings of a saddle as well as the one in another post so perhaps soon I will see berried Malaya!
