Thank You, for the information. On the Stripe / No Stripe.
I will have to take a better look, at the other Shrimp from the same shipment.

Thanks to zwergkrebszuechter's information about the non-striped females, I now know that I have at least one male and two female zebra shrimp. I have the male in a seperate tank and will be moving him into the one the female zebras are in. I am greatful for the useful information I have gotten from this thread

Here are 2 Photos of the F1 Young
It is hard to tell, by the photos.
These little Shrimp, do show Zebra Stripes.
And this is 1 of my 2 Females.
Her eggs have hatched in the last 24 Hours
After zwergkrebszuechter's information.
I checked in my other tank, where the remaining Shrimp from the same order are keep.
I noticed 3 Shrimp, with very very faint Zebra Markings.

Are these zebras?
Male?
Female?
This one was mixed in with this batch of shrimp, but I think it's different than the two above.

Just another Update
The Young Zebras, are growing quickly.
Here are a couple of photo's
This is the largest Shrimp, From the first Hatch.
The 2 Shrimp are also from the First Hatch.
And if you look really hard, at the back of the sponge filter.
You can see 3 Tiny Shrimp, from the 2nd Hatch.
And the 3rd Batch of Eggs are hanging on the Tails already

Put me on the list! LOL

I believe you can. I keep mine with green shrimp and they both like the harder alkyline water which is also prefered by the shrimp you mentioned. I like the stripes on the shrimp and the male is not shy at all

My Zebra Shrimp are kept in the own Tank, along with 3 Crayfish.
As Neoshrimp stated, they do like the same water conditions.
I always try to keep , 1 Shrimp Species per tank.
I do not want, to take a chance on any Cross Breeding.
The Zebras are getting more comfortable in the new Home.
The are comming out of hiding , so I can see them.
The young seem to grow fast. But, the are only 4 adults, 12 young in the tank. So there is alot to eat.
If they keep breeding like this, I will have to move them to a bigger Tank.

Beautiful shrimp, Newjohn. Congratulations.

Yes, the first two.frugalfish wrote:Are these zebras?
Yes, either male or immature female.Male?
Definitely a female and probably a "zebra" shrimp, too. I did have females with no stripes in my indian zebra shrimp colony (which I had for over a year but which perished during my "najas disaster" last summer). My adult males actually had barely any stripes (just some faint ones on the back) and the adult females either had stripes or were kinda brown like the shrimp in the picture. I am not sure if the striped and non-striped animals are the same species, subspecies of each other or just closely related species. Either way, they do breed together.Female?
Yes, it's different...not sure what it is. I was going to say it just looks like a "sick colored" green shrimp, but something is not right about the rostrum. Is it still alive? It looks like it was about to bite the dust.This one was mixed in with this batch of shrimp, but I think it's different than the two above.
