Not sure on the first one but the second one i think is a green shrimp.... sorry dont know scientific names lol
 
Can you get a side profile of the head? What were they sold to you as?

Blue CRS? :blink: Then they aren't CRS :good:. Unless they have been dyed or something...which sounds stupid for CRS. Or do you mean that they have changed from red to blue? That may be possible with low grade CRS but I've never heard of it tbh.

I can try and get some pic's of them all, They were all sold as red cherry shrimp I knew they were not so I had them all hoping they would me worth more. :good:
As for the CRS they were red?
 
i went to my local fish store the other day and found a red cherry shrimp that has a buncha blue color on it. It looks like a hybrid so i got it for my shrimp tank, thinking it would worth more too haha. the one i bought looks like your first picture one but the head of the shrimp is blue and the body of the shrimp is red and white, sorry for changing the topic (kinda).

I think they appear green because the colour balance is way off lol! I suspect they are grey / clear as pictured above, although OP will probably now correct me :D

Then his water must be pea soup judging by whats behind the shrimp.

On the CRS being blue and white it could be a CBS with poor colouration or perhaps a new strain of bee shrimp that has become developed under the radar.
 
LOL, it's an out of focus plant behind the shrimp.

:blink: Its also out of focus in the first 2 pictures but its not the same colour water :rolleyes: also I would assume he put them in the same tank as he got them together but that is a stretch of the imagination.

A reflexion from glass only and a reflex form plants behind glass could and most liking will give you completely different focus colours ie water colours even from the same tank, the photo's have been taken from a phone by the looks of it and arnt that good a quality.
 
Photos were on a Nokia N82, for clearer pics I'd recommend using the close up autofocus mode (flower symbol) and as many desk lamps shining from the water above for more light.

Try gets pics of all the shrimp and get details to rostrum shape and the like can be seen clearly.
