The big one is the colour shrimp, that change to chocolate colour.
Colour shrimp change to Cherry red wannabe haha.
Yesterday Y618 malayan shrimp stock.
Colour shrimps are also malayan shrimp... But those sold as colour shrimps are normally a size bigger+ more expensive as mentioned.... But rarely available in y618...

My cheapo shrimp tank consist of 10 XL yamato, 3 yellow shrimp, 10 malayan, 2 oto and 3 colour shrimp.
I just realize that i had leftover mosura EROS, so i doze a bit. Now they keep jumping up and down. Quite entertaining to see it.
Is Malayan Shrimp very good at hiding? The pack of Malayan Shrimp I bought yesterday should be 50 pcs from Y618... But this morning didn't manage to see any of them in my 2 feet tank.. wondering if they have migrate to my canisters filter..
Probably most of them molted after introduction to the tank, so currently hiding while their shells harden. They are also mainly brownish/clear color too, so good camouflage.Originally Posted by IrvineChen
Indeed, I saw some empty shell on the ground.. check my canisters filter and yes, there is some baby Malayan Shrimp which I believe should be in the bag when I purchase. Really damn hard to spot them... among 50 pcs, manage to see 5 pcs nia.. the remaining 40+ location unknown... if still can't find I need to report police le..
Hi guys, I wanna get some cheap shrimps as algae crew too. But 50pcs Malayan or cherry seems too many for my 1.5ft. Thinking to have probably around 25pcs. PM me if anyone want to share the big bag...
Mine also 1.5FT. Malayan shrimp are quite tiny, plus they always hide in somewhere. So 50pcs is actually not enough haha. I think 100pcs just nice.
I am using 1.5ft and I have 40 colour shrimps and 150 malayan shrimps and still find it not enough
Precisely! You have any lobang where to get the colour shrimp? Like one packet 50pcs.
Isn't Malayan Shrimp = Colour Shrimp?
My 50 pcs I put in my 2 feet tank... can't even see a single soul creeping around the tank.. when the light is on, they will hide at place you will never think of
I dont know le. Look difference too. Colour shrimp are so much bigger and better looking than malayan.
It's easy to differentiate malayan and colour shrimps.
In terms of shape, malayan looks a bit like red nose. Colour shrimps look like overgrown cherry shrimps and they have a strip on their back.
Eggs. Malayan shrimps have big eggs like cherry shrimps. Colour shrimps eggs are very tiny, like yamato.
Wah.. 40 + 150 also not enough?! I under estimated.. Haha. But I think I will still go for 25pcs first if possible.. I cycle my tank for about 2 months now, but didn't have test kit to check my water.
But my only survivor color shrimp doing OK in my tank, it has been there since beginning
I got a hundred today from seaview. This batch very small. Many like ants size and preggie even.
Whats the difference between color shrimp and Malayan? I always thought they were the same. Malayan clear when first released. They then usually turn brown and show a yellowish strip at the back/top. Let see if any from this batch shows this strip.
I also want to get shrimps, but I scared my crayfish eat all 😂
That shit Cray!
Initially i also thought they are the same. Yes, mine also started to change to gold colour. But this batch is really too small haha.
Yes it is normal Crayfish. It will surely gone. Unless it is a CPO-Dwarf.
FYI, Y618 restock again. There is 2 bags of color shrimps, 2 bags of Malayan shrimps available now.. and a lot more cherry shrimps in bulk bags
I went to Seaview today but Malayan were out of stock. So I bought 10pc of Tiger shrimp @$15. Someone pls tell me that tiger shrimps are easy to keep
