Wanted: Shrimp!!

[josephavela]

Looking for a good hardy shrimp that I can add in with my Taiwan painted shrimp. Don't want any cross breeding but want something that will do good in Houston tap water.

Lmk thanks Joseph!

You have a species of Neocaridina. You'll want a type of Caridina. Many Caridina like low pH and soft water (CRS, CBS, etc...). This is the opposite of Houston tap water. Malawa shrimp are a hardy Caridina species that thrive in Houston tap.

Note: It is possible to keep CRS and others in Houston tap . . . they will not be very hardy though.

Thanks for the info. I had crs before but they didn't last to long i'm a beginner still so i'm looking for some thing a lil hardier.

Do you know where I can get some of these malawa shrimp?

I kept CRS and CBS in Houston tap and they bred like rabbits but the number of shrimplets that survived is unknown because I sold my setup.
