Hello
It has been awhile since I posted anything.
Here is 1 of my Berried Malaya Females. She is the Darkest colored Female in my tank.
And they say Snails are slow
There is a lighter colored Female to the right of the Berried Female

Glad to see someone else having success with Malaya Shrimp. I now have several batches of young of all sizes and the females seem to re-berry within a few days to a couple weeks after giving birth. These have quickly become one of my favorite shrimp. Thanks for sharing.

Good job, John! Let us know if the larvae make it or not as that is the critical part about breeding these shrimp.

For every 1 nice picture I post, I need to take at least 10.
I only have a Point & Shoot Camera.
I have been saving up for a Nice Camera & Macro Lens.
But, for some reason I keep spending the money on more Inverts.

I have my Malayas housed with Blue Pearls,
I have offspring in the tank, but only time will tell if they are Malaya.

Once "time tells", let us know.

I have over 50 youngsters in the tank now.
I had to stop counting the Little Buggers, My eyes were going crossed.
When they get a little bigger, I will attempt to get a few pictures.
That is what happens
When You have to mix Species.

can't wait to see the pictures of them
Except, that there is 2 different species in the tank, and I have to wait for them to grow up to see which species they are.

Good job! The differences should be pretty apparent soon when the Malayas get their stripes and coloration.
