    Hi,

    seen a lot of pic threads recently, especially those on crs, also make me tempted to post. Do pardon my lousy photography skills.

    Malayan shrimps:

    somehow this one reminds me of the starry night shrimps from sulawesi


    Another one with white stripe on the back


    Yellow shrimps:

    the tail part of the shell is transparent. maybe genetic?


    another one


    one group


    tiger shrimps:

    munching on food

    Re: Some of my critters

    In your 2nd post, are they all in the same tank? And what's the size of the tank?

    Where did you get those blue macrobrachium? Do you think they can live together with cherry shrimps or other smaller size shrimps?

    And by the way, thanks for sharing your beautiful shrimps, mirco crab and snails.

    kenny: thanks, the microcrab is actually from thailand.

    dean: of course not. If i put them all in the same tank, the blue macrobrachium will have killed the rest of the animals. it is actually a ferrero rocher box that i put the animals in temperarily to photography them as the glass of the main tank is too dirty. the blue macrobrachium was gotten months ago from wuhu at tiong bahru, dont think you can find it now. it can live with small shrimps, but definitely not the micro crab (which crawls very slowly) or the snail.

    the shrimp live together?
    ...people ask why I eat fish even though i'm such an avid fish keeper... Bottom line is that I've been eating fish a lot longer than I've been keeping them...

    You can get very blue macrobrachium in Bangkok Weekend Market pet section for less than S$5. (It is open 7 days a week)
    They are not good tank mate for fish, snail or small shrimp, if they can get their claw on them, it will be MEAL TIME!!!
