Chrissy Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) EDIT: I'm sorry that my post appeared multiple times but I kept getting an error message when I was trying to post so I tried over and over. It was only when I logged out then back in that I saw that each of my attempts had actually worked... Hi everyone. I'm a new freshwater aquarium shrimp owner. The first shrimp that I got was an unexpected surprise. He/she was a stowaway when I purchased live plants for my aquarium. I didn't know he/she was in the bag with my plants until I got home. I dragged the poor thing around for a couple of hours in my purse doing some shopping because it was winter and I didn't want to leave the plant in my car to freeze. Luckily, I saw him/her when I was about to empty the bag in the sink to rinse out the plants. I went back about a week later to get him/her a tank mate and came home with a tiny very dark blue shrimp but I forgot to ask what species/breed it was. Itks grown a lot since them and has darkened and developed a stripe on its back. I've looked online but can't find one that looks like it. Can someone help me identify him/her? I'm assuming that the smaller one is an amano shrimp. Thank you. 1AF9E807-329B-4F02-8E6F-0FCAA100AEC0.MOV Edited April 1, 2021 by Chrissy Explanation for multiple repeat posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoagland Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Both are neocaridina. One looks to be a lower grade yellow and the other a green or blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
