Can some please ID this shrimp? I thought it was Atyopsis moluccensis, but someone told me it was Caridina babaulti 'green'. :?

Looks like a sick or stressed out "green shrimp" (C. cf. babaulti). Healthy ones are pretty much always green.

Yeah, the colour looks just like my amano before it KOed. Funny thing was that I thought I've got a new amano hybrid in my hand :roll:
