zebra shrimp

[pam916]

Does anyone know where I can buy zebra shrimp?

[Darbex]

Have you asked the people at invertz factory?

Are you sure you're wanting Zebra Shrimp (Potamalpheops sp.) instead of Tiger Shrimp ( Caridina cantonensis sp. "Tiger")?

According to shrimp compatibility chart

Tigers will interbreed with Red Cherries.

yes we do

[Somefishguy]

Perhaps i misread, but i looked again and it seems they can be housed together, it even said so in the tiger shrimp bio.

they can be housed together but there is still a chance of cross breeding.

I think you meant Crystal Red Shrimp, Red Cherry Shrimp cannot breed with Tiger Shrimp as far as i know, theyre a different family or something...

[Somefishguy]

Yup i am still convinced they they will not cross breed. Look at several sources and all say the same,

yes i overlooked that. i thought he had crystal red shrimp. tiger shrimp come from the caridina genus and cherry shrimp come from the neocaridina genus, so they shouldnt cross breed.

My bad. I thought red crossing ("YES") on the chart means "interbreed". It turned out to be "safe to keep together".
