A friend's wife brought back these shrimp from Hawaii. She bought them from a local shop and hoped he would like them. Could you please help with a positive ID of the shrimp. After calling the shop, they said these were "freshwater feeder shrimp". Here are a few pictures, please let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.
there Awesome You will definatly enjoy them . May i pm youy as to the Location your friend got them from ?
was it the seahorse breeder there ? Oceanrider ?
they have been around much longer than the 90's. they have been sold as feeders since the early 80's at least. i still have a colony at my parents house from 1984. they are an invasive species here. Westwood, you can get them at any LFS in Hawaii as feeders.

These are not the red hawaiians (Halocaridina rubra). They are wild tye Cherry shrimp (Neocaridina denticulata sinensis ) and they were bought from a local shop as dhavoc mentioned.
