RyeGuy411 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 That looks like a chocolate neo. They were sold to you as glass shrimp? Crazyfishlady and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Definitely not a ghost/glass shrimp. Maybe you had (or still have) actual glass shrimp but these guys hitched a ride in with them??? This is a ghost/glass shrimp - definitely not the ones you have pictured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff0712 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Looks a lot like my carbon rili that changed color a couple weeks after I put it in my tank -Duffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Could be a baby that hitchhiked ona plant or something and the ghosts died or bare still in there. Crazyfishlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Glass,grass and ghost shrimp are all the same thing, the names are applied to several different species but all in the same family, native to north America, very common in southern states.

noobie101 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Do you guys think that the water conditions could have changed their colour.....forgive me still very new to aquariums, my tank's only been running since March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobie101 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I took a water sample to my LFS and they said everything looks decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think it came in as a shrimplet, how long is the black shrimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobie101 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Maybe about 2cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Its probably a neo that hitchhiked ona plant you got, I've never heard of ghost shrimp changing color, it also doesn't have the tail shape of ghost shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 You mean the low order hump back, AL10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I guess, ghosts usually have a bend half way down their tale, if you compare the ghost pic above and the pics if the shrimp the op left the tails look different.

RyeGuy411 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 The brown shrimp you posted a picture of is not a glass shrimp no matter what and appears to be a chocolate neocaridina. I have had baby chocolate shrimp be almost clear and as they age will turn much darker brown. Also the picture you posted appears to be female and she might be berried, if so they turn different shades of colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
