Proper Terminology for a Shrimp that produces Larva that require Fresh Water to develope ?

I don't think there is any such critter.

I've seen Neocaridina shrimp hanging from floating plants (mostly duckweed) and feeding at the surface quite often. It doesn't seem surprising than Amano's would do the same thing. Where there's food, there's usually a hungry shrimp as well...

I saw that one Sunday night, great clip of the feeding fans in action.
I also enjoyed the other oddball critters they filmed as well. The 6' salamanders were awesome...

Ack, she's carrying quite a load of eggs. I spotted 3 berried females in my tank when I cleaned it recently. I'm hoping to see some juvies soon.
Excellent pics too.

Those are the plastic Lok-Roks. The crayfish seem to like the crevices between them. The ramshorn snails really like the hollow undersides. I pick dozens off when I clean the tank, and crush them for food.

The shrimp are wild-color snowballs, not cherry shrimp.

The orange dwarf crayfish came from Germany, there's a couple more pics in the crayfish section.

A couple of the crayfish, this one was cooperative: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/toddnbecka/DP037.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/toddnbecka/DP036.jpg Here's a berried female orange/brown: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/toddnbecka/DP027.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/alb...

I got a few half-decent pics of the shrimp in the 30. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/toddnbecka/DP033.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/toddnbecka/DP028.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/toddnbecka/DP015.jpg And finally, this one's mooning the camera: http://img.photobucket...

Between the shrimp and snails sharing the tank, the crayfish are lucky to get any food at all, much less leave anything uneaten.

Sounds like crayfish have aging issues like everything/everyone else. Sooner or later something doesn't work right any longer...

Good pic of the orange one, the wee bugger is hard to see though. Take 50-100 more and you might have a clearer shot... :wink: :lol: Sorry, I couldn't resist teasing, knowing from personal experience (and frustration) how difficult it is to get a good pic of tiny critters, whether crayfish or shrimp...

Many years ago I kept a couple of newts and a small crayfish in a 20 gallon tank with colored gravel. (I don't remember what color the gravel was, but it wasn't a natural color.) The small crayfish was always white, with no markings or pattern, probably because it couldn't adapt its color to blend w...

The quickest way to find out would be to put one outside in a bucket overnight while the temps are still cold. Obviously, you wouldn't want to allow it to freeze, but as long as the water didn't do more than ice over at the surface, it would be a good indication of their cold tolerance regarding inv...

A pH of 7.6 is fine for cherry shrimp, you don't need to lower it for their sake. I use crushed coral mixed with gravel for a substrate to maintain a steady pH of 7.6, and have moved out hundreds of shrimp from the tank over the last 8-9 months.
