i noticed this when searching for some pics for red nose shrimp and found the pic

is it Caridina gracilirostris ? or some sub spicies i would like to know as the site it is on is in a launguage i cant speak if anyone knows what it is or how its blue as on the verieties page it says they are glass and if it was coloured it would state opaque or something else, or is it like the blue shrimp and the offspring wont keep the blue body and is only blue because of food or whatever i have the link to the website so if anyone can speak german or something like that i can pm it to you as i dont want to get wrong for posting (and i dont know what its sayingand dont want to get wrong for advertising)

No it is a red nose shrimp. It is probably just the background that makes bluish.

Maybe. Really no way to know. Translate the page and you might get your answer. Just go to an online translation site and copy and paste it.

Either I'm very wrong or it is a picture from Uwe Werners book "Garnelen, Krebse und Krabben im Süßwasseraquarium". It is indeed a Caridina gracilirostris (or Red Nose, as some like to call it).
