My petstore just got some. How tough are these guys to breed? Are they very sensitive like Crystal Reds or are they more resilient to environmental changes.
Appreciate any feedback.
This forum is awesome, I have been looking for this for a long time.
Caridina babaulti

It's not the same shrimp as the "green midget shrimp". The Caridina babaulti are not as sensitive as crystal reds and should be reproducing readily. However, they also do not take as much abuse as the N. denticulata sinensis.
Alikhan(?), May I ask where your petstore is located? I have also been trying to get a breeding population of these shrimp going and need more shrimp.
Take care,
Mustafa

False alarm. I re-checked yesterday with the store and they said that they gave me the wrong information. They got something which they are sure is a Caridina sp. but not sure of the scientific name. They are selling it for 1.99 so its definitely not the green Indian Shrimp or Crystal Red.Petshrimp.com wrote:

Anyway, I live in the Washington, DC area and have to drive up to the Aquarium Center located in the suburbs of Baltimore. Its a hike but is the best store around in my area.
