Is that just the light, or is there some red on your Malawa shrimp?

[infopimp]

Yes, I have some strange coloration happening. One of my malawas is "banded" with orange rings... very peculiar. Cross breeding with the Cherries?

[Mustafa]

Nah...I highly doubt it's crossbreeding. It's probably just natural variation.

Quick update: My malawa population has EXPLODED.

Is the house still standing or has it become a casualty of the explosion?

In case anyone is wondering, Malawas are SUPER robust... and profilic. I think they will last a long time in the hobby - way more interesting to watch than cherries in my opinion....

Mine keep breeding... and breeding...

Agree, they are a very adaptable species. I would not be surprised to see mutations fairly soon, too.

Speaking of mutations...

That's not a mutation, though. That's part of their normal range of coloration. These guys can be very variable...even the same shrimp at different points in its life. Glad to see they are still thriving!
