Hi, this is a Malayan shrimp, it was white when i got it, under special condition it will be like that. Dont think many cherry and sakura is that red.

Wow! What's the special condition? Mind sharing?

Fascinating!

Bro... you really got alot of secret tricks ! Maybe you should go market some shrimp coloring products for Malayan shrimps... haha... so people want what colour shrimp just buy malayan shrimps + ur product.

I didn't see the stripe at the back, probably just the agle when you took the photo hide it.

This picture actually can tell from the back. You cant see much stripe at the back. Not many can go this red compare to cherry or sometime sakura. Of couse my sakura also extremly red.

Wow, I would gladly pay for a Sakura of this quality.. heh. How long will this Malayan maintain this shade of red?

[vwsj84]

Wow Bro Adrian !!!

I got this feeling some of my Malayans in my 1ft cube are also this red !!!

I have both Malayan and Sakura inside my 1ft cube. I think I threw in about 10 Malayan... now i usually only see 1 brown and 1 almost black Malayan during feeding time... the rest are like super red shrimps. But i noticed some of the super red shrimp have a brownish red thick centre line going down the full length of their upper back... is this a Malayan shrimp? I noticed some of my red shrimps don't have this... are this the Sakuras?

Interesting... Could this be some form of natural defence mechanism of changing colour to blend into the majority shrimp group?

One day must do more experiments.

wow nice setup and also easilly maintance.

I also have few that is full brownish and almost black one. Those with white stripe at the back sure is Malayan shrimp.

Dont think is self defense color, as i keep solely only Malayan shrimp on this tank.

wow nice setup and also easilly maintance.

Thanks for the compliment.

Nope is not. Never come across anyone eating Malayan shrimp yet. Those packet shrimp should be from China.

[Philosophos]

The picture is of sakura shrimp. They seem to be pretty popular for some kinds of sushi and salads. I don't think I'll ever be able to pay high prices after seeing so many pictures of them being sold by the plate. I couldn't find any of your Malayan shrimp; seems they're off the menu

[Shadow]

first time I heard people eating sakura shrimps

[Jervis]

Gosh! From special shrimps to special tidbits! This thread is getting more and more exciting!

LOL! This is getting interesting. I like it. ...

LOL! I believed yours is a real sakura, from red to super red when passed away. My condolence to your poor shrimps. ...

I remembered seeing something about sakura shrimps being a delicacy in taiwan in a taiwanese tourism promotion website. What I saw was a stir-fried sakura dish... wonder how much does one plate cost. If its affordable... it really makes u wonder if what we're paying for sakura shrimps are worth it at all ~

[fireblade]

alive ones cost more then dead ones..

looks like we are drifting further and further away!!
Adrian , should show some pictures to get us back into the right track..

It all depends where you are. Natives in south america eat discus. In some parts of Asia, loach soup is popular. Over in the rift lakes of africa, the larger cichlids get eaten. I've seen various freshwater sunfish kept in aquariums, but I've also had them for dinner.

Maybe we need a, "People eating our pets" picture thread or something
