Malaya Shrimp also known as rainbow shrimp, superior algae eater, peaceful and won't eat your dwarf shrimps unlike the lazy Yamato shrimp.
An interesting "feature" of this shrimp is that its coloration is extremely variable. Within the same colony one can see bluish, brownish, yellowish and even reddish shrimp.

Type :Caridina sp. "Malaya" , but won't crossbreed with any Caridina(CRS etc)

This is the prefect shrimps to replace the bulky , lazy Yamato minus all negative aspect of yamato shrimp.
~It won't attack others shrimps even shrimplets.
~It won't grab food and run away.
~It won't crossbreed with any known shrimps- i.e CRS, Tiger, Green shrimp & all neocaridina type i.e Fire red, Blue Jelly , Yellow etc.
~It always hungry and just clear out all food debris and most algae(they like staghorn & hair algae and will take on BBA if food is scarce)
~It Not colorless like Yamato, infact it change color due to temperature , Ph and or under threat/stress)(refer picture)
~It give birth to larvae, if have fish/fry in tank they can feed on those larvae. If you want to breed them, you need green water tank (in total freshwater though).
~More hardy then yamato , cherry , comparable with healthy ghost shrimps. (a well cycled tank will do, can survive in ph6++~ph8.2, be logical please don't expect it to survive in ammonia,nitrite leeched tank, even the super-shrimp opae ula can't make it.)
~Price is comparable to Yamato, just abit more or less, cheaper then a fire red though.
~It the only local shrimps well known internationally but absent from local LFS for > 5 yrs.

CUC>? clean unit crew? if yes, then yes, they are good at cleaning all leftover food, algae and diatoms.

Good to hear that, i use 30 tails in 2ft test tank(intentionally infested with 60% fully covered with hair algae and some staghorn algae) ,after 24hrs 80% hair/staghorn algae gone, total control within 72 hrs. Till now hair algae/staghorn never able to regrowth whatever Malaya is still around.
Now need to feed the Malaya shrimp food.

Jiro, they also very good in clearing fish food debris and diatoms in soil, in some incident they got killed by digging ammonia landmines in soil and eat poisonous rotten stuff in tank.

Great , less than 72hrs control here, beside shrimp food , they happily take fish food like algae wafer.
Just don't overfeed them, once a days is enough, just feed the quantity they can finish within 1-2 hrs.

Did some of them gain and changed color? Full black with golden stripe so far is the most beautiful color they change to.

2ft tank, minimum 10, optimum will be 20-30tail, however malaya currently very low on stock.
90% of my buyer are using malaya to replace yamato.

You mean black beard algae? unless there is no other food , this bba is the last things they touch unless these bba already weaken by excel/h202 spot
treatment.

Sure

shrimps will be snack to your arowana , beside 95% arowana tank is bare bottom, nothing much for shrimp to clean and salvage , if your problem is
these brown algae/diatoms on the glass , you can try nerite snail but not sure your arowana will find these snail as food or not.
