    I went down to NA yesterday. Malayan sold out. He told me to call 1 week later. NA prices are very very competitive. Wanted Malayan as I have bought 20 Yamatos in batches and all died in my main tank. Not sure why. All died at night... My cherries are all surviving though.

    Phil,

    Could be temperature or water parameter dramatic change.

    Guys,

    Never use malayan, are they as effective as amano as algae eateries?

    You might as well buy cherry shrimp if you prefer cheap and they can breed. if possible get a small tank and breed yourself once you have more, throw them into the planted tank as and when you like. in long term it much more worth it.

    Moreover malayan shrimp you cant breed them under our normal setup.

    Re: Where to get Malayan Shrimps

    I am confused. There are people saying Malayan shrimps needing brackish wateres to breed. Some beg to differ. So which is which? The only thing certain is their young are in larvae form.

    Yeap! There are crystal reds and blacks, and Fire reds but these you gotta call to check. They sometimes have other shrimps too like yellow, blue pearl, and some shrimp that's like blue pearl x cherry.

    malayan shrimps are good algae eater as well. Very fast and effective. Only problem they like to uproot freshly potted plants. Cheap, effective and very hardy.

    Once they adapt to water, they will start to show color.

    I saw a picture which was posted by a bro here, his Malayan managed to give birth.probably can search under Malayan shrimps? But I don't think they can reproduce in our tank thereafter as they need brackish water.

    Re: Where to get Malayan Shrimps

    I am quite surprised reading this thread. Years back, it cost just $20 to get a bag of 100 malayan. 1 for $1 or even 3 for $2 is unbelievable eye raising moment! Is it because of the popularity of the other shrimp species that the price of malayan was raised as well?

    Nowadays it's usually $8 for a pre-packaged bag of 50 at C328, at least that's the price which i saw written on the bags of malayan shrimp recently. It's understandable that buying in smaller quantities will cost more per shrimp (thus extra incentive to buy in bulk)... but $1 for one malayan shrimp seems quite far off the usual cost, so i would assume those $1 ones are probably another species.
