Betta Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Very cool dude, some seriously good quality shots there, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watfish Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks, they are very cool shrimp And it seems that they can change color quite drastically depending on mood/environment. Not a very artistic shot, but here is a large female that I put in the discus tank. It was glowing orange/red a couple of days ago, and now it's this coloration: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Awesome photography! I have a few of these guys and I'm lucky to see them out during the day. Also got a berried female so I should get some tiny shrimplets soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsright99 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Very nice pics of the shrimp. Did you get them from a certain creek out behind the gold coast ? Edited November 4, 2013 by thatsright99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren63 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 What are you feeding them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watfish Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 They get the same as all the other shrimp.. a mix of hikari shrimp food, crushed flakes, algae wafers. They seem content so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren63 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks for the reply. Ive read they may prey on cherries and other small shrimp. Have you noticed this or are they housed alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pony-tail Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 They will definitely prey on the young shrimplets - I don't think the adults would be at risk , but i would not mix them anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watfish Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Haven't really noticed this. They are in the same tank as yellow cherries, darwin red nose shrimp, darwin algae shrimp, chameleon shrimp, glass shrimp, crystal red shrimp.... and there are all sorts of baby shimp swimming around (except darwin algae shrimp of course). But just because I don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pony-tail Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I haven't tested it Directly but When I had them mine used to eat live brine shrimp or just about anything else . I was keeping mine for a short while with Flyspeck Hardyheads . Nice Pics to the OP by the way . These are my favourite fresh water crustaceans .
