beautiful shrimp 
It is difficult to find them. I have found Caridina gracilirostris much easier to find so far. Thanks for sharing

As far as I can tell, they have never entered the commercial aquarium trade in the US. On another note, they are not closely related to Caridina gracilirostris at all.Neonshrimp wrote:beautiful shrimp :o It is difficult to find them.

True the red N S is from India, South East Asia while the yellow N S is from the Caribbean. Although they can both live in brackish water

That effect is actually an artifact of flash usage. Most of the internal points of silver are a vibrant, nearly metallic gold in real life.TKD wrote:Whoa :shock: !
