Hi Mustafa,

I was at San Diego Aquatic Warehouse and they have what labeled as Blue Tiger Bee Shrimp. None of the employees there can actually confirm that it\'s a blue bee, and Derek mentioned that you should be able to identify those shrimps because you were there several times. I hope that you know what I\'m talking about, please help me clarify if they are blue bees. Thank you.

I don't remember the names there all that well, but it's probably Caridina serratirostris. They have them quite often there, although so far I have only seen females (quite a common problem among imported shrimp unfortunately). Hope this helps.

Mustafa,

Thank you. So they are ninja shrimps. I bought a few, no wonder they turned red when thrown in my tank. ;(

We had some of those same named shrimp sent to the shop that I work and abd I did figure out as well that they are ninja shrimp.
