Yellow or Orange Shrimps?

[giadda]

Hi Everyone,

 

Not sure if this is the correct page to put this in, but I need your help identifying if this is true yellow or if I was just duped.

 

I recently bought orange shrimps from a breeder, and when I mentioned I preferred yellows, he offered some of his "friend's" yellow stock.

As the initial pictures he offered showed the shrimps as yellow, I agreed.

 

Ordered about 3 pairs from him.

 

Placed them in this 3 in 1 shrimp tank, that I had customized.

 

 

My problem now is that the "yellow shrimps" look very similar to his orange batch. Not sure if I was duped, or what he said is true.

 

These are the ORANGE ones:

 

 

He mentioned that all young yellow shrimps appear orange and will gradually become yellow as they molt more. Like an idiot, I believed him, but I'm not very sure if it's true or not.

 

These are the YELLOW ones:

 

 

This is the reason for my visit today, so I can verify if it's real or if I've been duped.

 

Really thankful for your help

 

Thanks all!

They all look yellow to me.

I'm on my cell, so color may not be accurate.

They look yellow to me, but as a side note- yellows do not start out orange. They start clear and gradually get more yellow.

True on the color maturation. If it starts orange then it's an orange I think. Anyway those look yellow to me.
