Who needs Waldo when you can play "spot the green shrimp"...

Bonus points to whoever can find the baby in one of the above pics.

I believe this is the shrimp that some thought was a ghost in another pic because it wasn't showing its stripe.

This "green" shrimp was showing a red so dark it almost looked black (and yes, this colour is accurate)...

And finally, here's a wee little baby... (note the size of that giant boulder beside it, and compare to the small grains of gravel in the previous pic).

Oh, sure, easy to see when I point it out to you! Hee!

I didn't see the baby at all until I had the photo on the computer and zoomed in. I had no idea it was there when I took the pic!

When I first got my green shrimp, it was only because I couldn't find cherries. Now I think they're my favourites.

Sadly like an idiot when I was buying mine they had a tank of them for about 2 bucks each I was like nah they look ugly lol they looked more yellow then green. Seeing them in your tank makes me regret this. Ive been herassing my LFS (not really local since I visit about 10 every weekend in a 50 mile radious hehehe.

Hey -- I know a supplier in Germany...it's a little far away from you, but he ships shrimp and crays through Europe all the time. Let me know if this would help you and I'll give you his contact info.

Hey all. I'm wondering if anyone here has seen this behaviour before...

I've got some wee little baby green shrimp in the tank right now. I've only ever seen one at a time, always hiding in a plant, so I wasn't sure how many I had. But tonight, suddenly they're all swimming about the aquarium. All the other shrimp are going about their business, and I tested the water and all the parameters are fine, but the little guys keep swimming all over the place. I hadn't seen this happen with any of the previous batches of babies... maybe I just didn't look at the right time?

Any ideas?

Do green shrimp ever turn a yellow color? I saw a tank full of little yellow shrimp Im trying to figure out what they are.

Posted: **Fri Oct 15, 2004 7:57 am**

I've seen a greenish yellow... and one was almost orange one day...

Maybe you have the 'rainbow shrimp' variety??

Posted: **Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:06 am**

Any idea how to sex these guys? or they look look pretty much the same?
