Hi there, yesterday I bought 4 “amano” shrimp, but upon closer inspection it was clear they weren’t. I can confirm at least one of them is a tiger shrimp, another I’m not sure, and the two smaller ones I haven’t seen in a bit, so they’re hiding. The reddish gray oneis the confusing one. The other one im certain is a tiger shrimp

Note: when I brought them into the house and placed them into the bucket for acclimation, they were all clear - dark blue. Now, i'm not sure anymore.

Looks like a tangerine tiger shrimp, or an inbred tiger.
