"The pH should be in the high alkaline range of 7.8-8.0. This information has been provided by other breeders who have kept this shrimp and have knowledge of its requirements. Good clean water is very important, as with all other shrimp in the hobby. Dirty water will certainly cause problems. "
it seems that this shrimps is not easy to keep too.

nope Malaysian shrimp is a species by it self no cross breed...

they look very similar to YAMATO size and eating habits even larve but no need salt water like YAMATO the larve can breed in fresh water... we can go to river and look below river rock to find it... want to make a trip haha

interesting... for a shrimp that can found easily in malaysia, yet the pricetag is
anyone knows this shrimp habitat??
doubt that it can be found in palm oil plantation area

according to the web, it seems malayan shrimps need at least 7.5-8.0ph.
Please prove i am wrong. hehehhe.
i will be very very grateful if you able to breed them. please sell me some !
normally we only found shrimps with BIG claws in streams.

well sisaiko breed them in a normal 3ft tank...

all shrimps cannot live in plantation area. coz oil palm produce boron to the soil. the fert also contains lots of boron. so, they will die. that's why, there will be no single shrimp in palm oil.

price tag heavy prolly becoz hard to find in the wild? price will go down wan if it is easy to breed....maybe in 4-5 years time itll be rm1.50 per tail ...

it need a clear water stream,nothing of sort like peated water body.
we have plenty of those around.We have just 'cari cari jala udang'

OK keep your tank clean by having good canister filtration and BB should be able to do the trick

they got shrimplets already?

my shrimp is sisaiko 2nd generation malaya shrimp

from the web, each female can spawn about 50 offspring each time, i think price can reduce greatly in few years time.
same case as cherries

50 larvae not all will survive in captive breeding leh

red cherry shrimp is more hardy than yamato...IMHO.


if we can get from our own backyard..it wont be that pricy....

you wrong..
i still can find ghost shrimp


seem that money sisaiko's invest for his malaysian shrimp untung already..
ROI is only 2months

i'm not suppose to say this, but i saw malayan shrimp once while observing fish
it's brownish kan?

yep brownish where I wan to there with my net hahaha

but i don't see them anymore as the water is infested with talapia liao

correct correct correct!..
it can change it color depend on environment...

what type of lake / pond / fresh water stream??
