Shrimp ID please

Post by lukas »

Hi, I am a new member an I would like to say hello to all members that participate in making this forum so good. I must say that I found many usefull things and started to look on shrimp breedingin diferent way. I just love them!!! :)

Unfortunately, I found only 2 species of shrimps in my town. One is Red Cherry and another is unknown for me - I didn't find it even here (Looked all varieties here, but wasn't sure), and a friend that gave them to me also didn't know.

So, I hope that someone can help me with indetification and a few advices. I only know that they are breeding in fresh water. Eggs are the similar color as RCS (yellow-green). I've noticed that there might be cross breeding between them and RCS, because they are in the same tank (I saw that feemale grabed a male and knocked him down on the back - they were in that position for about 1 minute).
A baby shrimps (3 days old) are different colored - some were opalescent and some has red tone, looked under the magnifier (maybe it is too early to make some conclusions...)

Here you can see the pictures:
