Aquanet.tv published a video on shrimp habitats in Hongkong, Lantau Island. Everybody interested in viewing caridina serrata in a creek can have a closer look here (main movie, counter is 0:45-4:00)

Here are some updates from my shrimp tank
- Goldflakes (caridina spinata): 2 adults died, appearantly having molting problems, had brown bubbles in the neck before. One shrimp is berried! Change filtration to undergravel-canister-combination to reduce drift; shrimp like it and wander around more.
- New Bee Shrimp: 2 shrimps are berried but one only carrys few eggs – they seem to be quick egg dropper if something is not convenient. Started a crossbreeding test and put a female ‘Golden Snow White’ in the tank.
- Tuepfel: The first shrimp ist berried, took a long long time to go!
- CR/CB Shrimp: Have offspring the second time- they like Akadama as gravel.
- Black Tiger Hybrids: I set up a little tank with undergravel-air-filter and JBL Manado for my Black Tiger. Will crossbreed them when older.
- Supertiger have offspring too.
