i have what i think is a pair of Macrobrachium assamensis it was sold as "Chameleon shrimp" but i found a picture on the web taken by Mr Mustafa and its seems to be Macrobrachium assamensis..
anyway i noticed today that the larger one is full with eggs (is that the right defenition or is it rom?)

So breeding info is most welcome

My little Macrobrachium assamensis (Red claw) hatched some weeks ago in a 100 litre tank and are doing fine.

Ph 7.5
Gh 15
Temperature 28 celcius (need to lower this a little)

The youngsters





The parents

According to the Shrimp Varieties section "Breeding of this shrimp happens almost "automatically" as long as proper conditions are given (i.e. clean water, food etc.)." Please read the entire profile as it will give you best water conditions, foods, etc .

Hope you have shrimp babies soon and you can always ask gabs about what to do with the babies !
