Morning bro. Thanks for the input. My camera isn't with me at the moment. Sorry. It has a goldish-to-yellowish colour with and strip of white line starting from its head all the way to the tail. I heard its a new breed . Hopefully you can help... maybe it's a disease common in shrimps ?

Just a suggestion adjust your chiller (i presume you have one since the temp is so low) to 25 and monitor whether can you get them berried. Also you might want to check whether is there any female. Cause i have check some bags in seaview before sometime all the bags contain males only.

I don't have chiller. Only fan. Temp low cuz I place my tank in a dark corner.
I've seen females having eggs before. But after awhile the eggs gone.

Hmm eggs drops mostly likely due to stress.

i like these golden top back too but they are very hard to keep alive. i used to have like 20pcs but all died after my auto food timer drop into the tank while i was away for a week. restarted with another 20pcs but still little success with very low % of golden back offsprings.

need some expert views on this.

Mine too. I bought over 20pcs but left about 5 pieces.
Luckily the berried golden back I bought released shrimplets before it died, about 10 shrimplets or so hiding around.
But it is already more than 3 months but the rest of the adults are not berried.

Not sure if it is my low PH (Below 6.3) that caused the deaths
