I stumbled across this link to what seems to be a hybred of a cherry and a tiger shrimp...just like I was wondering about the other day. Im not sure if it is a hybred though the owner of the shrimp doesnt seem to know. Take a look at the pics though. http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/showt ... p?t=149982


Tell me if it is or if it isnt if you know :)

You can't just tell by looking at some picture (with the shrimp in the picture about 20 miles away and thus hard to see details anyway). "Tiger Shrimp" are also quite variable and can have shades of blue, red, yellow and even a stripe on their backs. A reddish Tiger shrimp does not mean it was crossed with some other red species.

Plus...as Red Cherries are Neocaridina and Tiger Shrimp are Caridina there are even Physiological differences which make it unlikely that these species can cross.

My 2 boys had a slight tiff this morning. The alpha male went chasing after the other male striking him non-stop from behind ... chased him into a corner and literally bullied the other male... poor fella.

It went on for about an hour ... there lots of intermission though ... then it went on again. But now they are side by side feeding .... boys; go figure ! :smt102
