beautiful shrimp
It is difficult to find them. I have found Caridina gracilirostris much easier to find so far. Thanks for sharing

As far as I can tell, they have never entered the commercial aquarium trade in the US. On another note, they are not closely related to
Caridina gracilirostris at all.

True the red N S is from India, South East Asia while the yellow N S is from the Caribbean. Although they can both live in brackish water

That effect is actually an artifact of flash usage. Most of the internal points of silver are a vibrant, nearly metallic gold in real life.

Do you live in Puerto Rico, or on one of the other caribbean islands?
