nevesj98 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Just saw this little shrimp at a LFS and was amazed , it reminded me of a leopard ehe, does anybody has them? what do they require? do they interbreed with our caridinas we usually have? Have a nice day everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I've seen them for as little as $5. They don't pop up often though. Not sure if they'd interbreed or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 That is not a Galaxy Shrimp. These are galaxy shrimp I received from Blue Crown just a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Caridina Rubropunctata looks similar to a Crown Leopard Tiger shrimp but not quite. Galaxy Tigers from my understanding are still Caridina Cantonensis, or that is what Shrimp Fever lists the Scientific Name as. Very interesting shrimp though!

nevesj98 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Nice, would really like to know on their breeding and if they are in any way diferent than our caridina cantonensis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinusInfinity Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Leopard Shrimp CAN interbreed with other Cardinias. I saw an article on it in an Amazonas magazine. I believe their June/July issue covering Tibees / Fancy Shrimp. Apparently they said that they need to be forcibly bred, like their own tank/small space.
