My Mixed Bag Of Shrimp

[grizadams_7mm]

Well A while back I started this 20G tank with a total mix of shrimp. Some of them I know and some I bought knowing what they were suppose to be and some a total mystery. If you see a shrimp and know the identity please feel free to correct me. Sorry for the crappy cell phone picts

couple of greens, don't know if my slightly high PH(7.2) has something to do with the lack of Green color

So many colours!!!

If your planning to breed you may get a few oddball hybrids out of that group. The zebra one looks like a blue tiger shrimp to me, but I could be wrong. The bee also looks like a crystal red shrimp, which I believe is also referred to as a red bee shrimp. The brown one I have no idea...

I wasn't planning on breeding in this Tank, well I can't stop them from doing what they do I figured they are Blue Tigers as well but at PJ's there were only to price tags on that tank Zebras and Cherries, with the bees the same would apply except they had a nice mix of both red and blacks so I got both. I love how I can catch my own there

Your fav shrimp they had listed as a blue poso shrimp from ipu...

Those are some great looking shrimp Nick! If I am not mistaken, the brown mystery guy is a "wild" red cherry shrimp, tho I could be wrong. Had one just like it once, you can see him/her in one of the vids on my old shrimp thread My Shrimp tank (updated with couple vids) How's the geckos doing?

[grizadams_7mm]

The geckos are doing great! We are looking for something bigger for them and letting the panther take that one over... maybe we should move to a bigger place ourselves

I did get them from PJ's, That might explain why they are so blue when they are stressed. The same would apply with the "Zebra" shrimp also from PJ's, of course none of them are as blue in my tank...

i kinda figured it would be from Pjs they had that odd blue shrimp with a brown line its back... sold to me as an amano by accident... lol... had it been an OEBT... i would be one lucky guy to get it a price of an amano lol
