2nd pic definitely looks like a bumblebee shrimp (black stripe starting at head rather than white, which would be a bee shrimp).
not sure about the first one, but i have few in my tank as well. lfs dubbed "rainbow shrimp." looks similar to ninja shrimp on shrimp varieties page tho.
I am getting all my shrimp for my lfs here in southern california, I'll ask who is their wholesaler next time I go. I have about 6 different speices of shrimp...
Yes, let me know who their wholesaler is. Can you take pictures of your other shrimp varieties, too? I am kind of curious what this wholesaler is offering.
Thanks! You can use "Private Messaging" here in the Forum to tell me about the wholesaler if you find out since that info will be useless for most people here.
Yes, looks like a "Malayan." Shrimp. Also, nobody is sure what their latin name is. Some similar shrimp imported into Germany are supposedly close to Caridina babaulti, but I don't buy it.
What were these shrimp called when you bought them at the store?
This malayan shrimp is sometimes called "rainbow" shrimp over here and and in Sg. and for obvious reason. They change to multitude of colors and the change is quite permanent. We normally identify them by their long thick stripe that run from head to its rear.
FYI, this typ of shrimp is the cheapest here and can be found practically in every river/stream which is relatively unpolluted.
