Wouldn't the "new bee" and the CRS hybridize?

Just to update...I have a tank full of clear/grayish little shrimp which obviously came from the blue shrimp.

Mine do it all the time and will even float around when I feed the tank to catch any unsuspecting piece of food.

These things crawl like crayfish!

I had some go missing too but found out it was my Apisto eating them.

I don't have pictures of all of them as some pictures didn't come out clear.

There is one of them berried already and it looks similar to that of my RCS but I couldn't find her today to take some pictures

Some new shots of them taken today...

Well to keep it a bit on topic the Hc and plant mass is like a jungle gym for the shrimp!

The plants trap food and such that the fish don't get and it feeds the shrimp.

Just to update the LFS has posted these as green algae eating shrimp...

Yep it's HC but the left side is HM and Rotala sp. green that decided it wanted to be foreground plant as well as a stem.

Thanks for all the comments about the tank, much appreciated!

I started with a 2x2" patch about a month ago...............

They are doing great and in contrast to all the green plants they look really blue!
There is one that is pitch black though and it happens to be a she that is berried so well see if the color carries over to the offspring.

I got these from a LFS today and was told they received them as Green algae eaters but I compared them to the Varieties profile section and they look like the Neocaridina sp. "blue"


Here are some pics.....if anyone can confirm it would be great.
