Do you know from which country this shrimp come from orginally? macrobrachium species can be very big when adult and yours looks like a juvenile. I therefore would not mate it with dwarf shrimps or fish.

Hi, i have the same macorbrahium as you, where did you get yours? as far as i know, these prawns are quite territorial, especially the males. they like to fight among themselves. I wouldnt risk keeping them with fishes, but i find that they are safe with the yellow shrimps in my tank.
