LillianPip Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I recently purchased freshwater shrimp from petsmart, and they were just labeled "rainbow shrimp." I'm trying to find a more specific identification, I think they might be rilis? They come in black, yellow, red rili-type spots, and a mottled blue. The yellow one is pregnant, and I want to be able to be specific on their care so that they don't die off. They were about 8$ a shrimp if that helps. Has anyone else bought random shrimp from petco/petsmart and know what they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Fan Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 They could be “Malawa” shrimp. This description is also a bit dubious from Asian exporters. Best regards, Stuart Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillianPip Posted November 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I just saw on another post that they might be red cherry shrimp but different colors... as long as they're within the neocaridina family i'm happy, I don't have the skill to keep a normal caridina.

Jay_Walker Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Do you have pictures to share? That would help in identification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
