    Hahaa, it feel good when you are able to own the species you love.
    And next stage will be to breed them.

    The have the same requirements as cherries but I don't put them in the same tank because they will interbreed - as with any neocaridinas

    As for parameters I have them in about pH 7.5 and I use a fan so they get temperature 2 degrees lower than ambient. They are not a difficult shrimp to keep

    They are breeding well and the shrimplets are the same blue as adults

    You're welcome glad you like them

    Yup keeping the Blue Pearls in a separate tank will ensure all their offsprings will be blue. I will have some for sale soon let me know if you're interested

    Hi,

    do you mind to share how you import them? (if you are not a distributor).

    You manage to push down the temperature by 2degrees by fan only.
    That's very good!!
    But I suppose your evaporation is fast.
    Nice blue!!

    Haha I wish I can take credit for their colour

    They are selectively bred from Neocaridina cf. zhangjiajiensis wild-type by someone in Germany.

    Cheers!

    Some people have pmed me regarding this. Thought I'll just answer your queries here.

    For individuals like you and me its very complex to import fauna. The exporter need to have export papers, you need import papers (from AVA). Then you need to run around and do paperwork at the airport etc to pick them up.

    Alternatively you can get a company/breeder who imports fauna regularly to do the importing for you. Its much less complex for them. However obviously they will only do it for you if you're very 'friend' with them

    Cheers
