    are these just cherry shrimp? seems thats one difference between here and there... when we actually get rcs... they are very red.
    Let the current take you where you may not always want to go.

    Not a katienaha anymore! Knot is tied.

    They call these Fire Red Cherries. The colors on them are much more thick and solid compared to normal cherries that we commonly see.

    Another difference is that the ones Chris picked out were all Painted fire reds. Even thicker...

    In the second pic the top female had eggs on its lower back, I was trying to capture that from my camera but if you look carefully its all orange, these shrimp carry huge clutches.....

    Another thing I noticed about these shrimp that differ from the common cherries is they dont have a long stripe on them and grow to double the size!

    Thanks for all the comments.

    Are they a different species, or just a larger strain?
