Basically wish to know more about this particular shrimp. Hope to have some feedbacks.

Thanks!

Richietay, seriously... I cannot identify which is which now... But if I did not remember wrongly, they were being kept with my cherry shrimps and now I see them as plain colourless shrimps... worse than male cherries...

Thanks for the reply, manage to find out more from other website too. read that they are good in clearing algae.

[Justikanz]

Not much an algae eater, in my opinion...

Richietay, mind to share the website for further reading?

LOL so unfair! I'm full of envy and jealousy because we don't even have malayan shrimps here! Argh

[Heavenhell00]

as far as I know, these are two different shrimps. the "black-shell" shrimp I was shown long ago is rather small (smaller than malayan) and really just greyish blackish colour.

the ones you see being sold in C328, quite similar to malayan but without the dorsal stripe, and sometimes greenish/bluish in colour, is a southeast china/taiwan shrimp Neocaridina sinensis.

How about this shrimp

Looks like Malayan Shrimp to me.

Agree with Ivan. I saw it at Bioplast that black shells have more translucent body with just a hint of black. They are very much smaller than Malayan. Unfortunately Mr Tan was not selling. I wonder whether he is selling now.

A few months ago, I bought a bag of shrimps from C328. The auntie told me they were from Taiwan. I thought i was lucky to get a bag of black shells. But after they settled in my tank, i realised they are malayan. I am still looking for black shell
