Candycane shrimp?!? (aka crystal reds) Aren't those illegal tohave in Hawaii? I think you are mistaken, you must have Caridina denticulata the Taiwan blue shrimp found in the local streams, right? :wink:
The best thing for any shrimp is a stable aquarium, LOTS of plants and cool, oxygenated water. I have never fed my shrimp a single bit of food and have generations to show for it. Initial attempts to keep and breed them in a "breeding tank" proved unsuccessful and I attribute this to the fact that I tried to "take care" of them by offering them food.
