I see these for sale and know zip about them. Anyone had any experience with these? I'm wondering if the fellow has the genus and/or species name spelled wrong. I get nothing when I search on google or this forum for either biakensis or lace shrimp. They look a lot like bamboo shrimp but are supposed to be red according to the write up.
I do find shrimp called lace shrimp. but not looking like the picture. These are on aquabid.

I saw that. aquabid pic:

It looked like a shrimp in the Atyoida genus to me. And it may be Atyoida pilipes

Those seem to be really variable in coloration, and the most available atyoid in the pet trade.
At least one seller I've seen identifies his so-called "(Singapore) Lace Shrimp" as Atyoida cf. pilipes
I'm not familiar with "biakensis". I thought it ringed a bell, but I googled for "atyoida biakensis" and even "biakensis shrimp" (no quotes) and found nothing helpful.
