I have mine in an alkaline environment(Texas water) and they have the same problems with the eggs.

It's a myth. People write lots of things when they have enough free time without researching any of the claims ("I *heard*...."). The wild strain is rarer because everyone wanted to have the orange crays once they came on the market. There is also a very dark strain that was developed from a "wild ...

I had no luck with dwarfs until I started using aged tanks with gravel bottoms. Ones with lots of copepods do the best for me. I have no clue about survival rates though.

Lots of baby crays will kill each other at molt time, especially if there is population pressure.

All tanks are aged...it ...

Hi there. I have around 4 different species of dwarf crays. I have noticed a lot of pregnant females in the tanks, but the quantity of babies surviving seem small. There are lot of hiding places for the crays.

I have gone through the site and read all the information I have found about this shrimp.

I was just wondering if anyone(most surely Mustafa) has any pictures of different coloration sof this shrimp. I have managed to get a hold of some whitebanded shrimp from India but their color seem very ...

One key for me to lower tha aggression between them is to feed them plenty almost every day. I have managed to have more than 20 in a 22 gallon tank without mayor problems.

The tank has moss whic converted in some nice algae mountains that they use for cover. I also put in the tank some pvc tubes ...

This is an old thread, but I wanted to update based on experience of breeding the ones I have from Jason (Fish World Erie). Be sure to get ONLY tank bred, not wild caught. I can maintain at least 30 adults in a 20 gallon tank with upwards of 50 juvies. Once the juvies are 1/4" to 3/8" move them to ...

Mustafa,

I have spotted some shrimp in my green shrimp tank that look exactly like the one in the second picture here:

I don't think there is any such critter.

I believe Caridina cf. babaulti is one of them as well

thanks for the comments

I will try to do so next time.

I managed to take these pictures today. The eggs are orange and there are a few black dots which are little crays that already hatched.
