ohmiko Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 So I bought "colorless amanos" for $1 each but then they colored up solidly and that's when I knew they weren't amanos. Upon research, I learned it was Malaya shrimp. I had 9 but my sister killed 8 so I only have one lonely one So hopefully someone is selling some here because I cant find them anywhere. Even the store i bought them from had minimized their selection and dont have any! Please PM me if you have some. This is what they looked like when I had a bunch. ( I have the darkest one and it likes to change colors like a chameleon from black, brown, orange, sometimes red, sometimes green ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpsmasher Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 i find they are great algae eaters in general, maybe second only to amano shrimps, although short nose / red nose shrimps might challenge them for that distinction as well. ohmiko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no one can compare to their chameleon color changing quality!! I also love that they breed w/ larvae that grow in freshwater and not brackish jumpsmasher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 But no one can compare to their chameleon color changing quality!! I also love that they breed w/ larvae that grow in freshwater and not brackish [emoji3]Actually Sulawesi Mawala also show a good amount of color variation! Or "rainbow" neos (a chocolate variety), but I haven't seen those in a while. Shrimp Life and ohmiko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
