personally i felt that cherries breed very fast and easily...
not sure about malayan and CRS though, trying out on CRS currently...
hmmm..
Malayan Shrimps
Cherry Shrimps
Crystal Red Shrimps
The best I could remember is cherry bred like rabbits once condition is right.... how about the rest like Malayan (which is the cheapest), the CRS (which is one of the most expensive) and anything in between them?
Assuming I only want fast breeding shrimps regardless of price, algae efficiency, beauty etc... what should I invest in?
PS: If other shrimps (non aggressive type) not included, please let me know I will try to add them.

its ok, I just need them to breed fast, and real fast.... Any other to recommend?Originally Posted by FaRnieGuy
Yes, I do have lots of baby Malayan in my 2ft tank.Originally Posted by Goondoo
Do they breed fast?Originally Posted by Ivan
Green shrimps are the best breeders of those i have seen
My tank of green always have pregnant ones......they just keep getting eggs
To me, yes, probably because I have a forest of java mosses, good hiding place for the baby malayan. Plus i have about 4 very productive adult female malayan shrimps at the moment, at least one of them will be pregnant at anytime.Originally Posted by Goondoo
you mean your tank is malayan and it gives birth to baby tanks inside it?? WAH!! living TANKS!! AMAZING man!!!Originally Posted by Goondoo
OK, you got me...Originally Posted by ranmasatome
hi bros,
correct me if i am wrong...
thought that malayan shrimps dun breed in fresh water
for me .. i vote for cherry, zebra , blue, bumble bee and tigers .
down the line

I think Malayan do, Yamato not....Originally Posted by jon409

thanks
Malayan breeds so easily that very often if you buy a bag of pre-pack bag of 100 pcs of malayan you can see hundred/thousands of baby malayan clouding the water when you pour out the water.. and your fish will be feasting on them..Originally Posted by jon409

Hi all,
Day 2 report
so far so good. do have some seaweed like moss on the ground. thinking of adding a moss wall later. but the temp is 22deg, is it too low? Here' how my tank look now
Can't wait to see them tomorrow.

22 degrees is fine ... mine bred like rabbits in my office tank at 21 to 24 degrees
