At other shrimp forum I found this http://ww31.tiki.ne.jp/~nishiwaki/cyshrimpindex.htm
What do you think about species?
Guess are: morph of snowball, morph of denticulata, morph of Bee, something completelly different but cool :D

Is a neocaridina of some sort. How they got it I am not sure. Interesting.

I think there is now at least one type of shrimp for each of the basic colors! Yellow, wow :shock:

Now we have red, blue and yellow!

Too bad we can't breed any color you want just like mixing colors of paint:

red+yellow=orange
blue+yellow=green
red+blue=purple

If only it was that easy.

All I can say is...wow. Wow.

Also, if you hit the "back" button at the bottom of that page, it brings you to a listing of other critters, among them a pink, almost an opaline-pink ramshorn snail. That one also gets a "wow."

Yea, I saw these rams being sold for $100. Nice, but they can keep them.

Thank You
For providing the link.
That just wants me to set up more tanks. Yhose are very interesting.
The color is amazing. I hope this was done by selective breeding.
And not by the Dip-In-Dye.

That was my thought as well; do they breed true, or is the color from an outside source?

Like the well-known blue shrimp that produce transparent offspring. :roll:

If those yellows breed yellow shrimplets I would be totally gob smacked.

I so hope they aren't dyed.
