This is a red variation of the bumble-bee shrimp, also not so common.

This bumble-bee shrimp was collected from the spring with the blue shrimp, see it's bluish color?

Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing. I too have bumble bee shrimps that look very much like the one you showed. I have a berried female and the eggs can hatch any day/moment now :D

Thanks, you mean the third pic? I usually get specimens which have a much darker blue (some jet black) with white or transpaernt stripes. Congrats on that berried shrimp!

Great pics, and beautiful shrimp! YOur English is awesome too, BTW :-D My stepmom and stepsister are from Mainland China (my parents were both from Taiwan, and I was born in this country) and they didn't speak a word of English when they came to the US.

no kidding :lol:

Neon, from what I've heard from Australian hobbyists, most of the shrimp available to them are native. Lots of macrobrachium, especially. They have very strict import laws regarding livestock, so I think pet dwarf shrimp are illegal :cry: Very sad, eh? But they are an island nation, so must be extra careful with biological entities.

Very true. The common carp and gold-fish have infested the waters of N.S.W (where I used to live) and besides native fish, some cichlids, marine fish, gold-fish, koi and bettas guppies platies mollies... it's hard to even find a silver aro and the prices are really crazy. :cry: But there are alot of very interesting native fish like the Murray Cod, Barramundi, Silver perch, Desert Goby, Saratoga. :wink:
