  1. Caridina mariae can have a backstripe. Especially wild ones.
  2. I hope you find them I am a wild-type fan myself but live in Denmark so it is a long way.
  3. I will try to take better pictures. Chris Lukhaup mentioned they are similar to some shrimp living in inland Sulawesi.
  4. So, at while ago I got a few "Nemo bees" from Germany. Apparently they are a Sulawesi inland shrimp in the Caridina pareparensis-confusion. Especially the young are nice! Does anyone have experience with these?
  5. Flubendazole is also very effective and a good as impossible to overdose.
  6. I will dig out some photos of the types I have had. Aura blue and tangerine tiger are both very prolific and hardy. Tolerates a wide range of parameters between pH 5.5-7.5 and 200-500 microsiemens/cm. Both are found wild. Red Tüpfel are more a soft water type and a slow breeder. Real tiger shrimp (Caridina mariae) also tolerates a wide range although from some locations they prefer soft water.
  7. 1. They are the same species. Same needs. 2. I don't know US prices 3. Some strains of green jade throw a lot of orange offspring. Some strains of blue dream throw blue carbon rili. It really depends on how lucky you are with the strain you get.
  8. Yes, there are loads of different "tüpfel" shrimp. I have kept a few different ones and most are robust and fast breeding. I also had some that was supposed to be real serrata. Very slow breeders and small broods. Slimmer looking than most of the tüpfels. If they actually were the real thing I don't know for shure.
  9. I have had one before, but it does not happen too often.
  10. Caridina serrata is not a false species, just misidentified in the hobby, just as it is the case with all the Caridina "breviata" that is in fact other species as C. venusta and so on. In the Facebook-group "shrimp description" Andreas has put some of his findings. His website http://www.deichwall19.selfhost.eu:8080/MyWeb/caridea/index.html needs a serious update but if you can read German it contains a lot of info.
  11. Funny phenomenon A halfsider from my black/blue Taiwan tank.
  12. Thanks again It seems generally German is first after SE Asia when it comes to new shrimp. Except those stardusts. There are very few of those in EU.
  13. The 125 was not specifically for shrimp...36 for Corydoras, 40 for killifish and the rest for breeding livebearers and barbs, tetras etc. but most tanks had shrimp in the too (except for the killi tanks). Now it is 28 only with shrimp. All fish gone.
  14. 28. Have been up to 125 but for every child a few less ☺
