Shrimp ID- Help

Post by dxq_canada »

I need help identifying this species.

I have a number of them (eight) taken from a mixed shrimp tank (Cherry, Tiger, RedFronted, and Blue).
These were infants taken from inside a filter.
They range in size from 1/4" to 1/2" in size.
All have stripes and are semi-transparent.

Hi Dxq, just my two cents worth, the shrimp in the pic reminds me of a juvenile Red Cherry except for the different pigment color - I'm presuming it's brownish as opposed to red. Perhaps you'll be able to tell better when he/she gets older? :?

What is your "blue" shrimp? Is that the plain version of a Cherry (Neocaridina d. sinensis)?
