Does anyone know what species they are? They are about the same size of bee shrimps, and some individuals show redish while others look more purple/blue.
Let me know if you have any information about these shrimps.

Hard to say. This shrimp looks like a very juvenile shrimp judging from its shape. I would let it grow to full size first before trying to identify it. Having said that, it looks almost like a juvenile of the Indian Zebra Shrimp, which is one of the many Caridina sp. (=unidentified or unnamed Caridina) from India.
I will post a few pics of that shrimp once I get some good shots.

Hi Kevin,
1.5 cm would still make it a juvenile assuming that this shrimp gets to be about 3-3.5cm like many other algae eating shrimp. In any case...let's see the other pictures. I would especially be interested in seeing some females with eggs. If you show me one I can tell you for sure if it's an Indian Zebra Shrimp or not. Do the females have a line down their backs?

How hard is it to just follow them? I'll quote from the frontpage of this forum:
"Also, DO NOT INQUIRE ABOUT SHRIMP FOR SALE OR OFFER SHRIMP FOR SALE, since this forum is for the exchange of information only. Thank you for your understanding."
So, please...there is a PM function for such things so *USE* it.
Petstores are the last place to look for when searching for "unique" shrimp. In other words, no..I have not seen any.Cajunspice wrote:i wished my LFS have different shrimps besides cherries, amanos ghost shrimps and sometimes bumble bee shrimps...
Mustafa, since you live in NYC... have you noticed any LFS which sells unique shrimps? or something just different from what i've mentioned
