Any dwarf shrimp keepers here?

Oh those were some beautiful shrimp! Love the Blue Bolt and that PRL is amazing! I know what you mean about how sensitive they are -- everything has to be *perfect*.

There are a couple forums I visit on-and-off when I want to look at shrimp and checkout what the newest variations are... and of course, fantasize about setting up a tank.

You should set one up! Tibees are actually more hardy because of it being a tiger shrimp hybrid. Opae ula are like the most hardy ones lol

How closely related are all these shrimp?

 

[ApexMonstah]

Pretty close, they all come from bee shrimps. Then some get hybrids mixing tigers + bee shrimps. People usually put tigers and sensitive bee shrimps in different water parameters, but somehow ended up getting them both to breed in a parameter both could handle. Then you get hardier shrimps like cherry red shrimps, rilis etc

I keep pumpkin shrimp and golden bee's.

Thanks, I figured most were different variants, not different species.
