Sharing a short video of some of my Macrobrachium assamensis (aka red claw shrimp). Really love these guys - they have so much personality. The one with the big claws at the start of the video is a full grown dominant male and most of the rest are females.
Mini-ish Monster Shrimp - Macrobrachium assamensis

Super easy to care for - they eat anything and aren’t very fussy about water parameters. They’ve also been quite easy to breed. Unlike the bigger macrobrachium (e.g., rosenbergii) they’re not particularly aggressive and seem fine with small-mid size fish (though I have seen them hunting fry). I’m actually very surprised they’re not more popular - it’s true they don’t have the colors of the neocaridina but I think they more than make up for it in attitude.
