A few new shrimp
Today I received a few new shrimp. A couple filter feeders, a dozen macro sp., some Amano Shrimp and a few others I will talk about later.
The filter shrimp are Green Lace Shrimp (Atyoida pilipes). While they are filter feeders, they are not similar to Bamboo Shrimp at all.
This picture was taken before this shrimp was completely acclimated, but as you can see they are quite different than Bamboo Shrimp. They are quite a bit smaller and have very different color patterns.
The Macro. sp. was sold to me as Pearl Shrimp. Pearl Shrimp (Macrobrachium kulsiense) are known to burrow in the sand, so I am waiting to observe this behavior. So far they are rather peaceful and look similar to the Pearl Shrimp.
I had to buy a few more Amano Shrimp in hopes of obtaining a few females. I would like to start breeding Amano Shrimp again and refine my low order shrimp rearing techniques.
There are a few other species of shrimp I have received lately and I will be talking about them soon! Stay tuned!
