Excellent photos. Nice looking shrimp - I like how they have white claws and foearms but darker bodies - it makes for a nice contrast. They look pretty small - how many cm long are they ?

Right now they are on average just a bit over 1cm, but one is almost 1.3cm Female? Still waiting for young, but adults so far happy and healthy even if a bit shy to movement. If you are still they are very active, but move fast and they instantly freeze.

This is a shed exoskeleton of one of my Golden Bee Shrimp after young were hatched...One bad egg I guess? You can see one of the newly hatched young to the left.
