I purchase these shrimp last week and have never seen a filter feeder
this small before.
There average size is 1.25 inches, they are not much bigger than a large adult RCS.
You can see the black coloration of the "Fans" on the shrimp in the lower left corner of the above picture.

Hi Mustafa
Yes,
I did notice the Color of Death
They were the best pictures I had to date.
Since the first pictures were taken, a couple more have died and the rest are more active and in the vegitation and it is hard to get a good picture.
There coloration is more of a Brownish Red now and they have less of the Milky White.
They are still not 100% stress free, So I am crossing my fingers.
And hope by the end of the month I still have a large % of them still alive.
Thank You All
For the useful information
