Reeper Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi need some identification on the shrimp in the pic attached. Whether is wild type neocaridina or tiger? (Note: I mean the clear shrimp on both images not the black or the yellow. It is the same shrimp on both images too.) Not sure why it uploaded upside down either. I housed both neos and tigers together and I am worried theres a possibility it could be wild type as I'm confused about normal tiger shrimplets and their stripes. Do tigers get their stripes as they grow or could someone fill me in on more information as I cant seem to find much on this or pictures that I could relate to as I am having shrimplets that are clear with few black stripes but not full bodied.

monty703 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 tiger shrimps are born with stripes and they are definitely defined black stripes! Its probably a neo (although I can't see it) if its only got a few here and there....wild type shrimps often have a few but not like a tigers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeper Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Could you post some wild types for me to compare? It would be much appreciated. I think they arent tigers but could be juvenile malayas instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeper Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 The younger ones in last pic have a few strripes but as they get as big as the first pic it had quite stripes on its whole body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeper Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 i have malayas in my tank too but I did ruled them out initially as I have been unsuccessful in growing their larvae separately but I know my females have been depositing lots of them in my tank. But not sure if their actually surviving to shrimplet stage. Any one owning Malaya shrimp could care to compare? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
