    I wonder which one is your ninja shrimp that's quietly ripping arms off in the middle of the night...

      Well I was worried that the berried female had dropped her eggs. But this morning after putting a few more dwarf shrimp in the 20 gallon I saw some red claw babies walking around on the bottom. So I know they are breeding so I hope to have a 56 gallon full of these guys in the future lol.

        So it has been a few months since my last post but some of my red claws have matured to adult size...

        Have a few juveniles in the tank right now just want to get a feel for the interest in these large fresh water shrimp...

        First the Alpha male... His color is kind of dark today he is getting ready to molt.



        With a whitecloud in the picture so you get an idea of his size...





        here is a picture of the juvenile red claws

                I quit using pre-filters they would just plug up... so now when I clean the filter i just empty the water inside the filter into a bucket. There is always cherry and malawa shrimp in the filter so i just dump them back in the tank....
