TheGardenofEder Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 I have some sunkist. Shrimp Life 1 Quote
Mr. F Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Posted January 15, 2017 I have some sunkist.What's the difference between Sunkist and other Orange neos? They are neos, right? Quote
ohmiko Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 Sunkist is thrown around a lot since people dont know about the orange sunkist caridina. I didnt even know until recently. my LFS told me the orange neos were sunkist. Quote
TropicalAquarist Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 I think Sunkist are more mixed with some being yellow, as seen in the picture above (on the far left) and a different grade (not necessarily a lower grade), compared to Sakura which are more bright orange, or pumpkin which are a dark orange... Quote
TheGardenofEder Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 Sunkist is just the name from the neos I got they are not yellow by any means. Sakura just means less transparency pumpkin is a nickname like blue jellys and no won should go by this name. Quote
Shrimp Life Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 TGOE said it right, less transparancy on the Orange Sakuras... Quote

Let me know if you stumble upon some sakura orange neos! Quote
TheGardenofEder Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 Mine are higher grade then Sakura do you see any transplant gaps? Mr. F 1 Quote
TheGardenofEder Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 If you want Sakura I can grab some out of my crayfish tanks I'm sure. Quote
TheGardenofEder Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 I've culled any with clear bodies or heads. Quote
Mr. F Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Posted January 15, 2017 I've culled any with clear bodies or heads.They're gorgeous. Not sure if it's just the photo but I'm looking for something more like deep orange. Like this... Quote
TheGardenofEder Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 Good luck I had to buy shrimp from 6 different people just to get one of those in each bag. Quote
Mr. F Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Posted January 15, 2017 Good luck I had to buy shrimp from 6 different people just to get one of those in each bag.Bummer. About six months ago I could get them for $3 each! Now I can't find them anywhere. Quote
TropicalAquarist Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 Bummer. About six months ago I could get them for $3 each! Now I can't find them anywhere.Exactly! I've been looking for the real orange ones as well, only place I could find them was AquaticArts.com, but shipping is expensive... Quote
TheGardenofEder Posted January 15, 2017 Report Posted January 15, 2017 And what your looking for are painted orange neos. Quote
Shrimp Life Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 I used to have oranges like that, but I discontinued breeding them last year (regrets!) I recently got some new oranges but they are more like neon orange rather then sakura. To be honest after having both varieties the neon orange is super vibrant and nice. If you can't find a sakura type (which is very hard) then I don't think you will be disappointed with Neon/Regular Oranges. In my opinion, they are so underrated! Quote

Some of my first shrimp were orange, and they were a mix of Sakura and neons, and I was thinking it was the solid ones that were more brilliant but maybe it was the neons... The brighter the better honestly. I'll dig back thru old photos and see if I can find some of the ones I'm thinking of...Then there was my mixed tank... I like the color on the larger females with the backlines near the front. Quote

They sure do look yellow to me in the first couple photos the other photos do show more orange> Im guessing its the lighting Quote
