    And green rocket shrimp, green shrimp, neon green, neon red, neon blue, cameroon armoured shrimp, diamond shrimp, 3 band shrimp. I've suspicions that some of them are actually just malayan shrimps.
    BTW, I think 7 and 8 are the same, and are both part of the rocket shrimp family. Crystal red are bee shrimp selectively bred for their red bands.
    Oh, the rare old Whale, mid storm and gale. In his ocean home will be. A giant in might, where might is right. And King of the boundless sea.

    anything WITHOUT a pair of pincer.
    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.

    Thot I share some info, was told if you dont have water temperature of abt 25 degrees, better dont try Bee or Tiger shrimp though they may be cheap...no wonder mine keep dying after 1-2 days. Gave up these 2 species liao.

    For other shrimps listed abv, which species have you guys tried and found to be more stable? I find Cherries and Malayan easiest followed by Yamatoes...

    if u have ur cherries doing well in ur tank, try crystal reds. they're more hardy than u ever expect. mine molted 2 times in 3 wks.

    the list goes on from the easiest to the hardest IMO

    cherry
    crystal
    malayan
    yamato
    rocket
    tiger
    bee
