yaps. they looks like malayan shrimps to me.
Hi guys, After scrolling through the photo are this black algae shrimps? With curious bought a few back home few weeks ago from our LFF, keep them into my 1 feet low tech planted tank with a pair of Apistogramma. Did not put much attention on them, a few days back i realize a few of them turn black . The day i bought it back the color looks exactly like Malayan shrimps. Just curious to know. Newbie in shrimps

Adult Malayan have this character to change their colour. Don't be alarmed.

Interesting... What was their colour when you first bought the shrimps?
Very Pail color... Exactly like Malayan shrimps... I bought it back because it stated as Black algae shrimps... But, i am still curious. Were they malayan shrimps instead of black algae shrimps ?

i think its a definition which LFS is giving to the shrimps which they have... but why call it black algae shrimp? because they look like black colored algae? or because they eat black algae? haha..Originally Posted by chris168

the term black algae shrimp is either some fanciful name or "new" species
i can't seems to find the term black algae shrimp on google.
Malayan shrimps - Caridina sp. "Malaya"

All the shrimps in the tank are of the similar pale coloration? Like light shade of translucent grey or there are some hint of red coloration? The black look very nice from your photos!
Yes is in very light shade of translucent grey... Thanks for your compliment.

Can Malayan Shrimps be selectively bred for the same colour?
Can I input my experience?
I had 4 adults with me since my 3 feet. They turned blackish after 3 weeks. Also noted they loved to hide in driftwood which is of near colour
I changed them to my out door tank and they changed light brown.
I'm happy to say their my oldest shrimp I have. Around 2 years old lol.

hi, So there is no such name as black algae shrimps ?

Personally never heard before, but I'm quite noob still
But shrimps often have nicknames, when many call them that way it becomes a local name.
