Hi Brad,
There are several possibilies as to which species this might be. Usually, N. denticulata sinensis has some blue individuals and I could imagine that selective breeding could produce a blue strain.
This picture, however, doesn ot seem to be N. denticulata sinensis since the rostrum ("nose") of this shrimp looks different. Caridina babaulti is also known to have blue individuals and even different colored strains (not just green). My caridina babaulti show green, red, yellow, brown, orange and some other interesting colors...all in the same animals depending on mood and evironment I guess. Many other shrimp species also change color.
Having said that, without looking at this shrimp under the microscope and comparing it to scientific literature, it's almost impossible to figure out what it actually is.
I am supposedly getting some "blue shrimp" in the mail today. We'll see if they look anything like this one. I'll post some pictures of those shrimp if they actually turn out to be blue (you never know nowadays).
Take care,
Mustafa

Thanks Piscesgirl.
Actually this 'blue' shrimp comes in many different shade/color. In my tank, I have light blue, deep blue, blue with golden stripe on back, red-brown, white with many brown dots. The last one mentioned is quite nice looking actually. If anyone like a photo of it, please leave me your email and I'll send it to you. Cheers.
