Reply With QuoteNoone has seen any? I got 9, one dead. I have it in a 20 gallon tank, and will report if they do well. They are quite hard to take a picture of, but they look like seamonkeys, except freshwater.
Was out at Y618 today, saw them selling a pack of it in freshwater. Pretty sure that it isn't brine shrimp and not as fishfood! Size is much larger than an artemia and colurful as well, I was wondering if anyone is keeping it and what are the chance of sucessfully breeding it in a shrimp tank?

how much was it selling for?
I use them as food for my bettas.
If I have a dollar & you have a dollar & we swap, neither is better off. BUT if I have an idea & you have an idea & we swap we are both richer
its pinkish in colour?
Plecofanatic, Coryfanatic and dwarf cichlids.
Fresh water? Sounds Cute. Do they keep easily? I would like to get some eggs to try. Where can find?
Yes its blueish with pink legs, it was 1 $1 per shrimp. Unfortunately all 9 of mine disappeared, i presumed dead.
Sorry for your lost..

from what i read, there are some large species of freshwater water fairy that are canivourous. maybe you can check out if its that species.
Heh, it is definitely dead. I guess we have to wait for it to be sold in the market again.
In the north central united states, fairy shrimp are pretty common in the wet spring and are found in pools of water that dry out in a month or so. There is one variety In Colorado that reaches several inches in length. I dont find them very pleasant in appearance. They look a bit too embryonic.
they look like the juvenile Alien?
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Plecofanatic, Coryfanatic and dwarf cichlids.
There was a MO for this shrimp eggs, anyone knew what happened? as in did the eggs hatch well and could the shrimp survive properly into adulthood in the freshwater aquaria?
Yes they did look like feathery sort of juvenile aliens. In the past I have simply scraped up the dried/dirt or mud from a dried out vernal pool and placed it in water. All sorts of things hatched out of it including fairy shrimp.
Plecofanatic, Coryfanatic and dwarf cichlids.
I want to buy the eggs...
I got the eggs from the MO but I didn't try to grow them to adulthood. I just hatch and feed them to my fishes. Newly hatched fairy shrimp seems to be even smaller than baby brineshrimp.
Plecofanatic, Coryfanatic and dwarf cichlids.
Anyone doing another MO soon?
If you produce loads of babies and put them in a relatively unpopulated tank some will attain adulthood don't you think?

It might be possible, since food for the fairy shrimps is also provided in the package. There are some information here --->http://www.bluebetta.com/bluestore/i...a487b8a178f2df.
