Hi zapisto

The markings look like the markings on the Indian Whitebanded Shrimp.

What Shrimp was this one mixed in with ?

I'm not sure what it is, but it is showing up lots of places named as someother shrimp or another. I got a few of these with a batch of amanos. There have been several requests lately on ID forthis shrimp.

Pretty sure they are Neocaridina. The ones Ihave bred with my cherries. Now I have more interesting mutts.

This is not a Neocaridina for sure. It's a Caridina with a back pattern that can be found in many species from India and southern Asia. The whitebanded shrimp from India is one of those species and the shrimp called "Malaya shrimp" (in Germany anyway) that I am breeding here is another. There are more though.

The picture is really dark, so it's very hard to tell what kind of species it might be and if it is one of the species that I (or others) have kept/bred before.
