My Blueberry Zebra Shrimp

[Steverd]

Also got a few of these this week. Sold as "Blueberry Zebra Shrimp".

Are they just a blue Tiger shrimp? Do you have any information on these?



Thanks,
Steve

That looks like my female wild type neo shrimp.

looks more like a babaulti to me. There are alot of color morphs coming out with the babaultis. Some are striped. Most have that characteristic flattened top line and longer rostrum as well as the broad stripe down their back. http://www.akwaria.pl/krewetki/caridina_babaulti-en.html

Very cool shrimp. The page says PH of 7; anyone know how flexible that is?

Babaulti are more moderately hardwater. They are breeding like mad in my tap water which is pH of 7.8.

lol you dont need alot of room just enough for a little 2.5g or 5.5g tank. all you need is a small filter and a decent amount of plants and your good to go.

I mean current tank space. I already promised my wife no more fish tanks this month... and I don't think she'll like it if I get another next month either. Even if she didn't have a problem with it, my rack will only fit 1 more 10g. I'm not permitted much more encroachment than that... tanks on counters are NOT acceptable.

lol well next month just sneak another 10g in and put it in the last spot on your rack and she will never notice :Angel: lmao. you could load a 10g with plans put a dozen or more shrimp in it and in not time youll have more shrimp than you can count lol
