maylee Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I've read green babaulti shrimp are good tank mate choices with neos. I don't see them being mentioned much. Any thoughts on these guys? Besides the fact they apparently mature and breed much slower than other shrimps. JosephKex, MableBile and Edwardnah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeshrimp Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I've been looking for tank mates for me rcs as well and came across these on Amazon. The price isn't bad and they seem to breed 50/50 green and orange. But besides that I don't find too much else on them.

Would you mind sharing? If not can you pm me? I just sold some plants and rcs locally and have enough to buy some mew shrimp. Really interested in these for my rcs tank or the yellows they have for my oebt tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Would you mind sharing? If not can you pm me? I just sold some plants and rcs locally and have enough to buy some mew shrimp. Really interested in these for my rcs tank or the yellows they have for my oebt tank. Made a large plant order ($280) in Aug. This order was a packaged deal. Low light required plants, supposed be certain amount of plants, certain types of plants. I didnt get everything I was supposed to and instead substituted and got some plants that required more lighting and the quality was very poor. My brother purchased some RCS. They took his money ,3 weeks later he found out about his shipment and told him they ran out of stock, took to many orders and he would have to wait another 2-3 weeks. Dont take peoples money if you dont have the inventory. The reason why he found this out three weeks later is because it took them that long to reply back. I have ordered from from several members and sponsors and they will tell you that Im very easy to deal with. Now this could be isolated. I had warned my brother before hand and he wanted to roll the dice and take a chance. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpsmasher Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 yup i have them but i am in Canada http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/topic/3061-current-livestock-list/?p=48796 There is also a blue babaulti going around. So fair i would concur with what others have said. Breed slow, have large clutches of babies but lower survival rate amongst them in general. Also take awhile to settle in if they are a fresh import... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an aqua bid account anyways and probably best not to ha. Yea i wouldn't want to breed these I'd just want some in my rcs tank to add to rhw swarm of colors.

shrimpytrade Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hello people,I am from India and keep Indian shrimps and breed them.The green babaulti and green hodgarti breed true and if some one is selling green babulti in orange, yellow color then avoid buying them. When the green shrimps are stressed they turn to orange and when orange/red there are very low chances of survival.The green shrimp breeds true, and all the babies I got are true green.About the breeding, if parameters are right then they breed heavily but the babies takes a lot of time to grow. Same with green babaulti and hodgarti. But the other babulti like white backed, zebra there babies grow a bit faster than the green ones.In babaulti there is blue, black, orange color so check what exact species is there before buying.

Vpier Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 And that is such a shame because thay have a beautiful website which seems really informative and helpful. They sell in large volume and in my opinion are more concerned about quantity than quality, it feels like they're in it for the money.
